GDT: Semifinal - May 20 - Sweden (4) vs Finland (1)

[TruePowerSlave]

Sweden may win this because their defense is much better...but man is Finland fun to watch. Forwards are so skilled and speedy. Swedes on the other side play pretty boring hockey...

You forgot the

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Sweden always relaxes right after they score a goal...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Nah.

Let me know when Barkov puts up 86 points in a season

 

[Hinterland]

You must the only person in the world that think Finland plays a more fun hockey than Sweden

Just watch the last shift of the Aho line? When did you last see a Swedish shift like that?

 

[Lempo]

So glad Filppula vetoed the deal to Toronto. Not a very good player.

Tampa dude's gonna Tampa dude.

 

[satbank]

Filppula better get that back.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, Ferraro is concerned with the jumping and dancing Swedish fan spilling his beer.

"You're spilling your beer!"

Different priorities across the pond.

 

[Loffer]

The Finns are gonna lose this hippahyppy but a honorable exit. Let's say so.

Don't dream of getting a coaching job.

"Look at that last shift!" Hahahahaha! Don't stop.

 

[Eisen]

Look at the cheering Swedes spill the expensive beer.

 

[DoubleGold]

Sick save. Now start defending normally.

 

[Lempo]

LOL, Ferraro is concerned with the jumping and dancing Swedish fan spilling his beer.

"You're spilling your beer!"

Different priorities across the pond.

I was worried about that!

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Save of the tournament?

 

[FVM]

Thank you based Säteri.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Look at the cheering Swedes spill the expensive beer.

Dude, for Scandinavians expensive German beer is Cheap Beer!

 

[Lempo]

Dude, for Scandinavians expensive German beer is Cheap Beer!

Not cheap enough to spill!

 

[DoubleGold]

Make it even now, pls.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Swedens signature move. 6 men on the ice.

 

[EK47]

Grönborg for **** sake you have to control those situations

 

[Phil McKraken]

Laine and Barkov would steamroll over that duo.

They wouldn't be playing them, they'd be playing against Silfverberg and Zetterberg.

 

[Hinterland]

Don't dream of getting a coaching job.

"Look at that last shift!" Hahahahaha! Don't stop.

As if it was the 1st one...as a Coach...how many of those Swedish forwards would you take over Aho or Rantanen? Maybe Backstrom but that's about it...

 

[Iceman]

Fire Grönborg tonight please.

 

[Chimpradamus]

A Swedish fan could pour out two beers before drinking the third in Germany and it would still be cheaper than buying one beer in Sweden.

I don't think he's worried to spill some when Sweden scores.

As if it was the 1st one...as a Coach...how many of those Swedish forwards would you take over Aho or Rantanen? Maybe Backstrom but that's about it...

You're assuming Finnish forwards are great because they're playing at 150% capacity against Sweden? They would get trashed against Canada, Sweden would not.

Not one single player on the Finnish team would make the Swedish team. Not one.

Claiming a team playing like Kazakstan is playing more fun hockey is laughable. Efficient hockey considering the players? Sure. More fun? GTFO. Finland is playing enjoying hockey because Sweden wants to play open hockey. You're giving credit to the entirely different team.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Maybe bäckström

Nah. Laine is better than Nylander but he's not the type who would hem Sweden in their zone or anything. and Backstrom is better than Barkov

Laine is a better goalscorer but outside of that, there isn't much that Laine is better than Nylander at.

Nylander is better playmaker, definitely a much better skater, plays more of a cycle game and will be a centre next season as soon as we trade Bozak.
