GDT: Semi-Finals: Sweden vs Finland; Jan. 4, 2025; 15:30 EST

[Svedu]

Stenberg looks hot today. ASP and Granberg as well.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Sweden's talent starting to shine through, they've really picked it up

 

[PanniniClaus]

You beat me to it.

Every moment will count in a game like this.. could be a 1-0 game.

 

[Svedu]

Finland are so passive. They just sink in to their own goal and look shook at times. They have to be closer.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Any US people know how to watch this? Signed up for Fubo -- apparently they no longer carry NHL Network??

Ridiculous how hard they make this on the consumer

I have nhl network so I’m not sure. But is it on espn plus?

 

[Svedu]

Thelin looking really secure so far. No rebounds. Calm.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

For those of you not watching the game on TSN, it just started. The game is only mid way through the first period.

If you want to watch the most boring commentated game on Earth, turn on the TV now. Gord Miller and Mike Johnson half asleep doing the play by play.

Johnson certainly expended a lot of energy the past few days.

 

[jj cale]

Hopefully it picks up in the 2nd.

 

[Svedu]

Yo! Penalty against the Swedes? High sticking? Missed call!

 

[jonlin]

Blind refs.

 

[theslatcher]

Wahlberg got away with robbery there haha.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I think Victor Eklund is a top 5 pick. I like this player a lot.

 

[Erikfromfin]

+1 referee call favoring sweden

 

[Seiza]

Thelin looking really secure so far. No rebounds. Calm.

He has been lost a couple of times but was saved by Swedish D.

 

[jj cale]

Not saying Finland was great but Sweden really needs to get it's ass in gear, they didn't get much if anything accomplished that period.

 

[jani]

Sweden #18 Eklund, oh boy what a player. Not sure if he has top 5 potential in the draft, but I really like his style.

 

[Prntscrn]

Eklund’s play along the boards is fantastic. Much more noticeable on the smaller rink

 

[Bounces R Way]

No one has even kneed somebody yet?

 

[dwdl21]

Nice high stick to the face, anyone still think the officiating in this tournament hasn't been horrible?

 

[king89]

Quite happy with the first period let's get one in the 2nd

 

[Lambo]

The refs are still really bad. Bet that a Finn gets a penalty immediately if the stick is high? Bet!

 

[Namejs]

A pretty boring 1st period, found myself dozing off a couple of times, let's hope it opens up a little

 

[smakki]

Ima say it… snoozer of a game so far

Still better than any Canada game this tournament

 

[Svedu]

Helenius, Halttunen, Rautiainen and Kiiskinen needs to be much better. Helenius seems to lack intensity and being concrete. He needs to shoot and be more direct.
Halttunen keeps on missing everything. Rautiainen having a pretty weak tournament. Kiiskinen should be more noticeable.

I've already gave up on Hemming. Most lost player on ice in every game. Kiviharju still looks very weak when defending. For me he is a liability. Must become a lot better skater and stronger to next year. Otherwise he can kiss a NA career goodbye.

 

[theslatcher]

Wahlberg-FUS-Eklund would make for a fun line.
