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

[BlitzSnipe]

Russsiaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Mother Russia! Keep up the hard work!

 

[Prntscrn]

Don't they announced the 3 best players for this Sweden?

No. We'll still have to play Canada for bronze

 

[Systemfel]

Congratulations, Russia. Best of luck in the GMG.

 

[Den]

Two negatives for Russia:

1) Did not finish 100000 chances today.
2) Played sloppy in the last 10 mins, let in 2 goals....

 

[m4tt145]

Sweden is nowhere near Russia today. The play extremely good, congratulations. If they play like this tomorrow they will end up with a gold IMO. Rooting for them.

Very bad game from Aho, Söderström and Nylander. That sucks.

Russia has the best national anthem in the tourney btw.

 

[Farnham4top6]

Did the scum not give Walmark the player of the game?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Good game by Russia. They were better today.

 

[flaneur]

good game by the russians.

the swedes had a strong tournament up to this game. which is really impressive seeing how young the roster was.

 

[chauron]

Don't they announced the 3 best players for this Sweden?

They play for bronze, no point to announce yet.

 

[DenkeGG]

Noes.. Atleast we have been in the finals 3 years in a row!

Well played Russia!

 

[tohaa]

Must say Sweden got 2 legit goals taken away from them.
How can it be goalie interference when the player is drove into the goalie by a defending player?

When was there another? There was an equally legit goal by Russia that gut taken away...

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Russia were the better team. They wanted it more, they played with desperation.

The Swedes did not. Congrats to Russia.

 

[hockeystick89]

Great game by Russia. If Canada wins tonight, the finals should be crazy good!

Before the game the TSN guys mentioned that the Swedes were dealing with the flu or something like that. Did anyone else catch this?

 

[aphyro]

Don't they announced the 3 best players for this Sweden?

should well be the ones that keep track of the equipment was Sweden's best

 

[Tripod]

That's not what TSN said at all. They said he made a really difficult pass. Meaning many people cannot make that pass. Too bad the Swedes don't have a player that can accept a pass

That is what I heard as well.

"Nylander is going to TRY a real difficult play here...it skips on Forsling and he can't do anything with it"

 

[BlitzSnipe]

россия!!

Congrats to Russia for advancing to final.

I really hope we'd have a slav final, Slovensko vs Russia

That would be slick, imagine the two white, blue, red flags .

 

[Lady Scarlet]

Did the scum not give Walmark the player of the game?

Perhaps he's already been the player of the game previously? You can only receive that honour once.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Nylander played like it was a Sunday stroll in the park. He's super talented, but even talented players need to bring it in a game like this one. A date for a gold medal. He did not today.

 

[Laista]

Come home Now Brynäs Players...we need you in SHL instead.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Well deserved win for Russia. The gold medal game might be more even than I thought.

Did the scum not give Walmark the player of the game?

Wallmark annoyed me through the game. Deking standing still, throwing loose wristers on goal with clear sight for the goalie on the PP. A lot of just unnecessary plays, and one really nice one.

Still, that's probably better than most of his teammates tonight.

 

[Esse]

Wow, I just realised that Canada haven't played their semifinal yet

 

[geoo9]

Haha Baka Aho

Aho AKA BaKa?)
These was two good games
Thx guys for good game

Well, 1 goal .

 

[Fantomas]

IBIT - In Bragin I trust. Great motivator. Russian boys came out like a pack of gorillas in this one.

The Swedes couldn't handle them.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

I haven't seen Russia play that well against Sweden in like forever
