[SanDogBrewin]

Cmon Butcher you have to find the puck.

 

[PTmbp13]

Hockey is such a wheel of fortune...

 

[NyQuil]

That's hockey for you.

 

[EK47]

Arvy!! So not fair but whatever.

 

[PTmbp13]

Boom Tre Kronor scores after being heavily outplayed.

Wooo outplayed is a strong word

 

[Pensionsraddare]

We found inspiration from Tampas last win in Washington i guess

 

[Kyndig]

Seen this story play out a million times in hockey. One team dominates and their goalie lets in a stinker, team gets deflated and it ends up a blowout.

 

[Caffeine]

Anders Lee has been absolutely brutal and he is pretty much perfect example of type of player that could excel in smaller rink but when games are played in olympic rink his best assets are neutralized

 

[jj cale]

Sweden can't convert the glorious chance to make it 2-0.

Sweden is coming on.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Sweden has hardly been outplayed. We've kept the Americans on the outside in our own zone while generating a couple of dangerous chances ourselves.

 

[snipes]

Swedes really pushing now after that goal.

PP coming up

 

[jj cale]

kinkaid, pretty dumb.

 

[jj cale]

wow, U.S almost had the shortie.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Johan Larsson just can't do anything right in the offensive zone. How can they let USA go in like that on PP?

 

[NyQuil]

Sweden has hardly been outplayed. We've kept the Americans on the outside in our own zone while generating a couple of dangerous chances ourselves.

I'd say the US had the advantage in play in the 1st period.

 

[Hybbe]

Ridiculous heads up play by FF9 there to send Arvy on the breakaway, didn't even get a replay.

 

[PTmbp13]

Haha Nyquist in PP. well..

 

[bDtKarlsson]

I'd say the US had the advantage in play in the 1st period.

I agree, but not as much as some people seem to think

 

[EK47]

Powerkill

 

[NyQuil]

I agree, but not as much as some people seem to think

Well the score is the only thing that matters anyway.

 

[jj cale]

I dunno, Sweden is up 1-0 but they really haven't looked all that sharp imo.

 

[EK47]

I f***ing love Arvidsson!

 

[Eye of Ra]

I'd say the US had the advantage in play in the 1st period.

yes but they are not dominating, are you guys even watching the game?

 

[PTmbp13]

I dunno, Sweden is up 1-0 but they really haven't looked all that sharp imo.

Yeah they ve been a pizza and a fan.
America puts everything on net.
Swedes are conifdent though. They will not be rattled. Swedes starts best then quicly americans took over then a US PP and swedes come back in the end.

USA have a very good team this year (fun watching) and starting the game in a hysterical pace. Sweden will most probably slowly take over this though. It's on bigger ice and we are better in the tactical part of the game. Nilsson lots of bad rebounds but he definately saved Sweden in the first, great effort.
