GDT: Russia Vs Sweden | 12/30 @ 9:30PM | TSN/NHLN

[Fatass]

Oh sure. Likeable is Costmar's middle name.

Costmar plays and even looks a lit like Esa Tikkanen.

 

[Mestaruus]

Now we have to hear about Sweden's streak of not losing a game on regulation on a group stage since 2007 .

 

[Pieck]

Sweden’s streak ending is one of those things that often has a legit chance of happening, but it still feels surreal when it actually happens

Gonna feel weird not hearing about it anymore

 

[canswetoxic]

You know he's hurt, right?

The coach should know better he shouldn't had played at all. Basically the coach is to blame.

Tomorrow's possibilities:

Sweden Win:
1. Sweden
2. Russia
3. USA

USA OT/SO Win:
1.Russia
2. USA
3. Sweden

USA Regulation Win:
1. USA
2. Russia
3. Sweden

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Is that the way Broberg usually plays? Haven’t watched the guy very much.

 

[ORRFForever]

The Swedes still haven't lost in regulation in 14 years....

Isn't that important???

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

The winner is our beautiful sport.

What a game.

International Hockey never ceases to amaze.

 

[Matte99]

Difference this game was Sweden having a bad PK, and Russia having a good PP, though.

Another difference is that Russia got better players.

 

[Fantomas]

Costmar plays and even looks a lit like Esa Tikkanen.

Every World Junior tournament has a particularly punchable face. You know, the kind you just want to smash through your monitor.

This year it's Costmar.

 

[Atas2000]

Only an idiot thinks that last call was a penalty.

LOL. Go tell that the refs. That swedish player sure looked like he wanted kids from Abramov. Grabbing him the whole sequence.

 

[Civetty]

Now we have to hear about Sweden's streak of not losing a game on regulation on a group stage since 2007 .

It'll be more coming first in every group stage since 2007, if they manage to beat USA that is, which I feel like they wont.

 

[Fatass]

Does this solidify group B final standings at all?

What’s that group’s standing after the Americans beat the Swedes tomorrow night?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Great game! The World Juniors always deliver!

 

[Maplebeasts]

Does this solidify group B final standings at all?

No. Any of Russia/Sweden/USA can still win the group. If either Sweden or the US win in regulation tomorrow, they win the group. If The US wins in either shootout or OT the Russians win the group.

 

[aphyro]

Thats russian mentality,
we win-everyone is sh*t we are mighty Russia!
we lose-we a complete sh*t

Seems like any team!

 

[snipes]

He wasn't on for a goal against until the OT goal, which wasn't on him.

He had a rough first couple of periods but he played well in the 3rd.

Created some good offensive chances. The play to Holtz at the end that went off the crossbar near the end of the game and the Bobby Broberg flying through the air rush.

But yeah, he looked noticeably not himself. He’s usually a dazzling skater and you could tell he was really struggling compared to the way he usually skates.

Anwyays, that was a good game. Thought Russia was much better 5 v 5 and deserved to win.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Is that the way Broberg usually plays? Haven’t watched the guy very much.

It looks like he's playing injured. Looked a lot slower than his normal self today.

 

[c9gunner]

I predict the US win tomorrow.

 

[Atas2000]

Does this solidify group B final standings at all?

A fat NO. It is all complex math tomorrow. Russia can't fall beneath 2nd, but that's about it. Swedes can still win the goup or end up 4th I think.

 

[canswetoxic]

Is that the way Broberg usually plays? Haven’t watched the guy very much.

He was real bad, slow and sloppy, but understandable he's injured as well still doesn't understand why he is playing.

 

[Fantomas]

Tomorrow's possibilities:

Sweden Win:
1. Sweden
2. Russia
3. USA

USA OT/SO Win:
1.Russia
2. USA
3. Sweden

USA Regulation Win:
1. USA
2. Russia
3. Sweden

Russia probably ends up second, which is fine. Playing the worst team in the other pool not necessarily the best thing going forward.

 

[ORRFForever]

What’s that group’s standing after the Americans beat the Swedes tomorrow night?

If the U.S. wins in regulation...

U.S.
Russia
Sweden
Czechs

If the U.S. wins in O.T...

Russia
U.S.
Sweden
Czechs

Now we have to hear about Sweden's streak of not losing a game on regulation on a group stage since 2007 .

OMG you’re right - tonight’s loss and the 2006 loss were in OT.

Tomorrow's possibilities:

Sweden Win:
1. Sweden
2. Russia
3. USA

USA OT/SO Win:
1.Russia
2. USA
3. Sweden

USA Regulation Win:
1. USA
2. Russia
3. Sweden

I would like a US win tomorrow in any fashion please...
