Sweden settling in................nice.

An ice pack on the back of the neck isnt how you check for a concussion. There are protocols for that. Its a joke they want to call head shots this tight, but wont do anything to actually see if the player has been concussed.

Absolutely. One of the things I like about IIHF vs NHL is they are stricter in some regards. But on the other hand they lack the professionalism of the NHL.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Even when there are already two D on the ice.

Just got confused being on the bench for more then 30 seconds.

Very even game so far. Sweden is much faster, but Russia has the edge in strength and hockey IQ.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

THis game is awesome

 

[Keon1963]

Go Sweden Go

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Really really dislike this swedish team, lot of cocky players and the constant whining is unbearable.

Who is cocky?

 

[SabresSharks]

Absolutely crazy pace to this game.

 

[aphyro]

The fact is Finland copied Swedens hockey program early 2000. And did it good. Yes Finland is boring but they win more than swedes right now

They do? Dident know that

Maybe he felt the most pain in his neck and asked to have it placed on his neck. Doesn't tell me anything if he went through a protocol during or after the period.
It doesn't remove the fact that he was hit to the head and was removed from play and came to only play in the 2nd period.

Bad look. What was counterproductive about sending a player who deliberately headshot an opponent? Just the fact that he's the teams leading scorer?

I think it was an instantaneous reaction. Denisenko veers off and it changes the timing of the brace, causing the head contact. Intent isn't clear, I think 2 and 10 would be better.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Another dumb hit why is it not a game??

 

[Love]

Why is that not 5 and a game?

 

[Zub]

I think Sweden might just comeback and win this one.

 

[Alex K]

Khovanov

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Losing Khovanov for the next 10 minutes is going to hurt...Big player for them.

 

[NyQuil]

They should have a reclining chair for people in the box for 10 minutes.

 

[McDrai]

That’s a 5 and a game.

 

[fahad203]

That was a more vicious than the 5 that Sweden got

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hit to the head

 

[stor harig bjorn]

How is that not a game misconduct???

 

[jj cale]

Absolutely crazy pace to this game.

pretty sloppy though.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Where is the 5 there?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Oy Vey...... dumb

 

[PG Canuck]

Should be 5
