GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Sweden vs USA

[Jonathan17]

I have to say the pace of play has been crazy. Every player trying to get the puck off their stick as fast as possible.

 

[jj cale]

You Americans really have to talk with yourself about not sending real teams to big tournaments. Look who's talking and all of that, but you can, if you want to. And that's a difference.

This is bluster talk said by a fan of a team that happens to be winning today in convincing fashion. You better be careful what you say..........................you havent won this tournament yet to be making puffed out with pride statements like this.

There was nothing wrong with the team the U.S sent here this year, today just hasn't been their day.

 

[Natey]

Switzerland has a medal

USA usually shows up for Bronze medal games unlike other countries. They're used to not making the Gold Medal game.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

ok, now we're passive

 

[NyQuil]

US must be wondering what it's going to take to put that puck across the line.

 

[PTmbp13]

We have been lucky and Nilsson playing a fantastic game but I take it. :-D

LOl lucky..

 

[lakers11]

No. Did I say that?

Just annoying knowing that if the US actually sent all their talent they could perform so much better but year in and year out they dont.

Huh? This year US actually sent a good team. Almost all NHLers. Also, Kane and johnny are 2 of the best FWs US has.....

 

[Kyndig]

I'd just be happy if we don't get shutout at this point.

 

[NyQuil]

US needs two before the end of the period.

Yeah, he's Norwegian and pulling for the US in this game after betting on them.

"Real teams"? Who are we missing? Kessel and Matthews sucked in playoffs, Pavelski wasn't anything special. Kesler? Who?

 

[21]

Swedes capitalized on every chance, USA blew every chance. Puck sitting on the goal line, Kreider misses the empty net, Gaudreau goes full ****** and it buries USA.

Well, at least the Sabres will get Dahlin? ;-)

 

[NyQuil]

Well, at least the Sabres will get Dahlin? ;-)

Grrrrr.

 

[jj cale]

Yeah, he's Norwegian and pulling for the US in this game after betting on them.

Ah, that explains a few things then.

 

[jj cale]

Well, at least the Sabres will get Dahlin? ;-)

I prefer not to think of that as a Montreal fan.

3rd overall...................we were so close.

 

[Sentinel]

Blashill is a great coach

If by "great," you mean "never done anything," then yeah. Right. "Great."

 

[jj cale]

US needs two before the end of the period.

And they are not gonna get em.

That gaudreau penalty, my god.........................it killed them.

 

[PTmbp13]

Good effort but americans.. swedes steel is strong though

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

johnny baseball

 

[Maylo]

If by "great," you mean "never done anything," then yeah. Right. "Great."

Btw who picked him? Team USA GM?

 

[The Great Dame]

Huh? This year US actually sent a good team. Almost all NHLers. Also, Kane and johnny are 2 of the best FWs US has.....

The fact that you said "ALMOST" All NHLers tells you all you need to know. Not sure if you're aware, but the US has 269 active NHL players...

Kane and Johnny are great, but we have stars like Matthews, Eichel, Kessel, Trocheck, Pavelski, etc, the list could go on all day, at home.

 

[21]

I prefer not to think of that as a Montreal fan.

3rd overall...................we were so close.

We will see, I am Swede but I'm not sure Dahlin is the second coming of Orr.

Dahlin is a very likable player but it would surprise me a lot if Dahlin gets better than Salming, Lidstrom or Hedman (other decent Swedish defensemen).

 

[EK47]

Backlunds defensive play today is just insane.

This is one of the strongest team so one should not say this is over. Swedes are strong and skilled but US are too

 

[Name Nameless]

Yeah, he's Norwegian and pulling for the US in this game after betting on them.

I can survive without my 5 dollars, so don't get me wrong. More annoyingly the Swedes seems to get their way again. But I agree with some of you: this team of yours seemed better than usual. Not anymore, though.
