GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Sweden vs USA

[Zero Pucks Given]

stupid penalty again

Not like we've been all that dangerous on the PP anyway.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

pull the goalie?

 

[PTmbp13]

Stupid Nyquist i dont like him in red wings. Seems not so good here as well

 

[jj cale]

You know I'm going to hold that over for you forever brother.

lol, I'm well aware of that.

Speaking Of mcD..................................we need his magic today again today, hell, he is the only reason we find ourselves in the semis today.

Sweden making sure that the US don't climb back into this one.

I wonder if they'll be able to stuff the slot against the Swiss or the Canadians to the same effect.

I really wish it will be Canada in the finals (if we win this game). I can't stand watching a defensive boring Switzerland in the finals. I want an offensive, physical playing Canada. Sweden and Canada are the two best teams in the world after all.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Nyquist has been terrible

 

[bDtKarlsson]

If Sweden wins the final game bigtime, this means the moral silver-medalists here are Latvia. That's weird.

In that case Slovakia is the moral silver-medalist since they stole a point from Sweden.

Nyquist has been terrible

His best days are over.

 

[Name Nameless]

pull the goalie?

They should have. Four goal down, now less than 13 minutes left. Had to start a rally now.

He's literally the only reason we're in the semis. We'll need him to take over the game to win, the Swiss are a tough team.

 

[jj cale]

I think Ferraro is right in the comments he just made about Delarose....................you want him playing in Montreal like he is playing today in a 3rd line role and he can be an effective piece for us going forward.

Well, that was in the group-stage. Don't agree with you, sorry.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

lol.

There won't be much for him to like in his boy today. As far as I am concerned the guy killed any chance the U.S had to come back and win this game, and they had a chance.

But not after Johnnyboy took his tantrum they didn't.

I know we are trying to catch up but I would seriously consider benching him, play Milano in his spot and tell him to take a seat. He hasn't had his head in this game since about the middle of the first. We know there is a lot going on in his life, but he has been off all tournament despite some decent numbers he has been the picture of frustration for three weeks on most occasions. Forcing a ton of plays that he doesn't really try to make at the NHL level nearly as often. I am not sure what is going on with him, but his penalty is inexcusable. His effort afterward is pretty pathetic also, like I was hoping at least he would feel bad and find that next gear and he has been worse since as well.

I am worried about that game,we need more Mcdavid mania but you can be sure the Swiss have prepared for him, wonder what tricks they will have in store to try stop him?

And Iwonder who gets the start in net?

I am 100% in agreement with you here.

he cost this team....................big time, he needs to sit.

I'd go McE but either options aren't great in net.

 

[jj cale]

The exclamation point, 5-0, game over but i guess we all know it was already over.

didn't really see this coming today

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Seriously, **** this game.

 

[snipes]

Lol at pulling the goalie

 

[NyQuil]

Yikes.

 

[EK47]

That’s weird.

 

[PTmbp13]

Well US was better for 10 minutes in the first. It seems very hard to face sweden. Too string team and offensive attack. Defense too strong. Good try US though

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Nilsson has been a beast. Much better performance than against Latvia.

 

[LiveeviL]

USA not losing it, good for Sweden so that no one get hurt. If this was vs Canada we would have seen no end of foul play aka good hockey play. Not really trashing Canada, I am ok with it but it is what it is.

 

[PTmbp13]

No one is the second coming of Orr and he probably won't eclipse a guy like Lidstrom who was one of the very best to ever play the game but He's still gonna be an impact player, the type of which my Habs so desperately need.

God I wish we had won the lottery, would have kick started a rebuild we have to do.

Yeah but when Orr played it was like 10 teams. No vompetion like it is today. Dont get me wrong Orr was great but
