GDT: Semifinal • Jan. 4 • Sweden vs. Russia

[WilliamNylander]

Sweden is really getting exposed.

Nylander and a bunch of grinders is not going to beat a good team

 

[Captain Bowie]

Anyone want to count the insecure Canucks fans in here?

Go ahead.

Anyone want to count the insecure Canucks fans in here?

So Nylander should get praised for playing well but not criticized when playing bad? Laughable.

 

[JacobBeans]

Nylander is the Swedish Kessel.

He sure is. He is a complete clone.

 

[ViD]

I love it how TSN announcers are always against Russia. "they should have been penalized more", "this shouldn't be a goal". hilarious.

well, frankly, compared to most Russian commentators, these TSN guys aint too bad

 

[Canadian Finn]

Not trolling. Russia is not to be taken lightly

Clearly not to be taken lightly, as you have given them a 100% chance at winning.

Again, LoL.

Probably because they don't want to face Russia in the final .

 

[fahad203]

Nylander is the Swedish Kessel.

What a tragedy that would be.... If Nylander any where close to Kessel


All kidding aside, Sweden needs one goal. Russia has a tendency to panic

 

[ndd17]

Nylander plays today? Really?
Right before someone wrote, task in the third period, to stay out penalty box.

 

[helicecopter]

Sweden very lucky not to have allowed another one after going down 2-0.

A penalty by Russia and they can get back into it with their PP.

 

[timmeh]

Nylander is the Swedish Kessel.

Kessel has 13 goals and 21 points in 22 playoff games. Let's hope Nylander is the Swedish Kessel.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

The Russian commentators tend to whine a lot. I'd rather watch TSN .

 

[Evolu7ion]

Everyone makes it seem like this game is over... lots of time left in this one though. USA was down against Russia going into the third and almost tied it up, Sweden has the firepower to do the same, especially if Russia sits back the same way they did against USA.

 

[Bill Waters*]

Nylander will be lucky to become as talented as Kessel. I said it a week ago and Ill say it again. Nylander is a PP specialist in North America. He wont be a game breaker. FACT.

 

[Maplebeasts]

So Nylander should get praised for playing well but not criticized when playing bad? Laughable.

It's funny you didn't knock anyone else on team Sweden. Hagg and Aho have been poor, same as Soderstrom. The Nylander line and the Lodecki line re the only two that have generated a shred of offence for them. Make sure your scapegoat is actually the worst player.

 

[BlueSaint]

Not even the refs can save Sweden tonight.

They will not sit back, they came in to this game pumped. They'll be just as intense in the 3rd period.

 

[Zybalto]

Sorry. I mean that non-call going Russia way

I agree.

Both Russian goals came within the time frame that Sweden should have been on a 4 min powerplay.....but you gotta take the bad officiating at these IIHF events. It comes with the territory.

 

[Kshahdoo]

The Russian commentators tend to whine a lot. I'd rather watch TSN .

They tend to analyze the game more, and I love it.

I have never in my life seen someone use that phrase as wrong as you just did. That is not a fact, quite the opposite really.

 

[Get North]

Alright Valeri.

 

[D0ctorCool]

Sweden is playing this game like its on international ice, while Russia has adapted much better.

 

[Coog]

Not even the refs can save Sweden tonight.

Predictable...

 

[Paxton Fettel]

I agree

It's just stupid to me that you guys are saying "count the canucks fans ni here1!!!" when there's three of us, and only one had made one comment about Nylander.

He's been bad, I commented about Forsling and was about to comment on Aho but a Leafs HF member had posted literally five seconds apart from me so there was no point.

Please, stop pulling **** out of your ass.
