GDT: Sweden (2) vs. Canada (5) • Semifinals • Jan. 4 • Part 1

[Slimmy]

OMG, too focking funny, Swedes *****ing about diving..Pot...Meet Kettle!

Hart has been solid, but did I hear this right, Canada hasn't skated for two days, no skate on their off day and no pre-game skate? Who does that?

You're saying Swedes are prone to diving? ****ing kidding me?

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Probably should swallow your pride and not hit people after the whistle... (even though Chabots was late too)

Those plays happen all the time, if the rolls were reversed you'd be singing a different tune. Cry murder when the call goes against you, shrug it off as fine when it favors you.

 

[Blitzago*]

I asked a couple times so I assume the answer is yes. I complained about this several years back. They say allowing international players helps our game... But I disagree when it comes to goaltending. There is only so many goaltending positions on our junior teams, so why do we allow international goalies to play on our junior teams taking away an opportunity from a Canadian kid. Doesn't the USA goalie play for the London Knights?

These are the 2 best goalies in Juniors.... Theres lots of canadian starters in the CHL...

 

[GWNR]

Chabot nudged the swede, then Grundstrom cross checked Chabot

Geez, people

He embellished but it wouldve been a penalty anyway, use your brains.

You take your "Logic" and you get our of here!

 

[Sabreality]

The refs! The refs!

is this how people really watch hockey?

entertaining 1st

 

[Muston Atthews]

Swedes have no right to complain after the show Jakob Markstrom put on a few years back. If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. You do look stupid if you get caught though.

 

[Nordic*]

Lol. Swede fans complaining about diving! The irony!

What do you mean by that?

 

[Matt24]

Chabot is having a bad gave and embarassing himself. Time for the Cirelli for MVP talk to begin.

 

[Get North]

I get that but the crying here saying this game is rigged when no team gets the hime ice like Canada is laughable.

I don't think this game is getting rigged, but I think it's reverse when it comes down to refs in a hostile arena. If you are a ref, you want to show everybody that you aren't going to bend over to the crowd that is yelling and hollering, so you will be much more stricter on the penalties for the home team than the away team. That's my opinion of a ref's thinking. Some call it neutral like this game.

Lol. Swede fans complaining about diving! The irony!

Where is the irony, exactly?

Grundstrom is a leaf prospect, I'm just calling it as I see it.

 

[50 in 07]

Can we stop *****ing about the penalty?

The goal was 4 on 4, it wasn't even on the PP. Canada out played them irrespective of the events leading up to the penalty and the cancelled PP.

 

[leaflover]

Oh lets not complain about officiating. They're giving the players some leeway and that's translated into great hockey.

 

[Damisoph]

What do you mean by that?

I think you know he's implying that Swedes dive a lot.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Is this the guy who was crying about refereeing during the World Cup? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

Nope, it was someone else.

 

[irunthepeg]

Lol Chabot dat dive do

Barzal no call in front of the net do.

Why isnt Nylanders number better in ahl? He has been dominating in this tournament.

AHL >>> tournament with junior players.

 

[BatVader]

It's not diving!!
It's falling, with style!

 

[tsujimoto74]

Yea, there's a pretty big difference. I'm also a little surprised he doesn't have more points though.

The team he plays on (Rochester) is also hot garbage, and it's his first time playing against men, so it's an adjustment for him.

Sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet. You almost got me there.

It's how every GDT on an HF main board goes.

Ah well, it's better than earlier in the tournament where the threads would barely crack 6 pages.

 

[NyQuil]

Chabot is having a bad gave and embarassing himself. Time for the Cirelli for MVP talk to begin.

Except when he contributed to the game tying goal.

Chabot is an all around force!!!

Oh please stop *****ing about that already. That was how many years ago?

 

[Rob]

This is nothing. You should have watched 5-6 years ago

Come on Swedes. Don't be like the Russians.

Markström got run over I that game. ****ing ludicrous to say otherwise.
