GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Tomas W]

To all Finns, about the free gold to Sweden:

1) Which team did Finland lose to?
2) If the Swiss play like this tomorrow it will be a 50/50 game.

Or lucky, you guys have a guaranteed (or free if you like) gold medal, everybody knows the cinderella team always loses in the final.

And you should thank Nilsson for turning into prime Hasek out of the blue, without him you wouldn't be in the finals, maybe not even making the semis.

Wasnt it that the cinderella always lose in semis? According to that russian guy.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

McDavid is a whiny baby. Holy crap. Learn to be classy. No wonder your teams always lose.

What did he say/do?

 

[Eye of Ra]

They got free gold in 2013 like this year.

switzerland is not bad, they are a good hockey nation, switzerland beat out finland and canada for a reason this year and they also beat out canada in 2013. its not by chance.

you are also ignoring that sweden beat alot of top 6 nations in 2013 and this year aswell.

and do you really think that sweden could not beat a top 6 nation in final in 2013 and this year?

To all Swedes, stop generalizing.

Oh wait.

How unfair to the overrated Canadians to play against the superior Switzerland. They could barely win over Latvia. There should be four semifinals. One A and B. With USA and Canada in the B playing against nations like Denmark, Norway, Slovakia etc.

Barely win over Latvia...just like Sweden

Here comes the excuses!

it's not nexcuse though.

 

[BruinLVGA]

You must be joking. TC half-assed the first two periods but still dominated these guys all game long.

Switzerland was better through two periods. The third was only Canada, it was a siege. The victory was overall deserved, robbed nobody.

Don't be a sore loser, it's not classy.

 

[namttebih]

He got hurt in the playoffs.

Talbot and Smith (I think) also declined because of injuries.

Thanks

As easy a gold as Sweden will ever get.

USA should easily take the bronze too.

After a beer or two.

 

[La Masse]

McDavid on the H team?

One player makes a whole team?

 

[Ippenator]

That was some of the absolute worst coaching I have ever seen. Hopefully he brings this same coaching to Calgary.

Peters and Finland’s coach Marjamäki would be my obvious candidates for the clearly worst coaches in the tournament. Goddamn they suck both big time! I’m so happy that Peters is not continuing as the coach for the Canes, as they are one of my favorite NHL teams.

 

[Freudian]

Damnit Canada. You are making Ryan O'Reilly lose his love for hockey.

This is such a stupid post.

Switzerland was the better team for like 8 minutes in the first period. They were dominated the rest of the game.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Looks like tournaments in Scandinavia always end with a Switzerland - Sweden final

Hey, I can subscribe to this!!!

 

[booyakasha]

McDavid and RNH what a tremendous success.

the only reason Canada got to the semi final, but okay.

 

[Atas2000]

McDavid on the H team?

Now we know where he belongs.

"Underdog" obliterated Teams

1. Finland
2. Canada

It won't be easy game for Team Sweden. At least it won't be if Swedes take it as "free Gold".

Both above games versus Switzerland should make that clear - in a Team Sweden's video-replay session.

 

[NyQuil]

Not a lot of killer instinct from Canada all tournament long.

I'm used to a lot more passion from Canadian teams.

 

[sandysan]

One player makes a whole team?

No but one player can sink a whole team.

I'm looking at you Darcy

 

[Eye of Ra]

Yes sweden wins back to back gold!

¨
lol

yes we have the better team on paper and we won all games so far, but swiss for sure more hungry and i think swiss have been better playing-wise so far. its gonna be a even game.

Obliterated?

Really?

 

[DDRhockey]

Never knew canadians and finns are such sore losers when they complain at a free gold for sweden against the team that just knocked them out. If it so free why didnt you win?

 

[FinPanda]

Switzerland will most likely be quite tired and Sweden gets more rest, but I think it will be a real close game but Sweden will take it.

Switzerland has scored 3 goals against Russia, Czech Republic, Finland, Canada and Sweden so far in this tournament. Nice to see. They scored at least 3 against everyone but Slovakia lol.
