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

[NyQuil]

Sens fans are very protective of Chabot.

It would be nice if there was one another decent defenceman on the team.

 

[Civetty]

Great game so far. I just wish this annoying break would be over already, I want more hockey.

 

[Acetylene]

...and when the other team does it your crying. Also, using something from years ago has literally 0 relevance on todays game. The mental gymnastics in here are interesting. I'm a Canadian, but it gets tiring seeing the homer's homer it up in here.

It's also funny that any time Canada dives, my fellow fans just go "lol just like Sweden" because they have their blinders on when Canadians dive and actually cheer for diving when it works out for us...yet it's cowardly when the other team does it...just blind sheep behaviour.

Solid post. Lot's of blind sheep mentality from both sides atm

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

You Canadians are so lucky you have TSN. I love watching this feed.

I really hate the NHL network coverage....

 

[jj cale]

If you take away Chabot dive it would be 2-1 Sweden

Depends on how you look at it I guess.

 

[Prntscrn]

Lol William Nylander's swedish is so much better than Alxeander's

 

[Breakers]

Both Countires dive


Kadri has been diving his entire hockey career, and especially in the WJC

 

[jsalz16]

Where is the irony, exactly?

Forsberg, one of my favorites of all time, was also one of the biggest floppers of all time. NasLund was a great diver too. Are you kidding? Swedes pretty much invented diving!
It's just part of the game now.

 

[Mergatroidskittle]

Marchand is Canadian right? Goes both ways

Everyone cheers when their team dives and *****es when the other team does it. Keep being the cool neutral guy though. You're so above the rest of us Sheep Canadians.

When I played lacrosse I dove all the time. I was real good at it too

So this mixed GDT thing I am trying to think of something more dysfunctional.......nope.

Just wait till we get the Karlsson Krew to come to his defense.

 

[ViCiieux]

You could need another diver also.

 

[Super Cake]

Sens fans are very protective of Chabot.

We are only protective of him because of the people crucifying him for a dive.

Everyone dives.

 

[c9gunner]

No more joy for a Russian fan than watching a SWE-CAN game

 

[22Brad Park]

Its 2-2 Its a game as it goes the refs should put whistles away.I am enjoying this battle.

 

[Bizdits*]

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

Well the goalie from the USA looks 10 times better than our goalies! And this is not a one time issue... Canadian goaltending has sucked now for quite a few years. I'm trying to understand why?

Can we pin this post?

Like are you all seriously not going to admit this happens? It's part of fandom.

You do something and get away with it? **** YEAH!
Other team does something and get away with it? **** THEM!

Get over yourselves.

P.S. Sweden sucks, let's go Canada! Woooooo

Same when I watch a USA/RUS game

 

[Korpse]

Sens fans are very protective of Chabot.

i mean your post was kinda embarrassing.

 

[Knave]

A sens fan should know.

We do know. No need to be jealous.

 

[Breakers]

Parsons > Hart & Ingram

 

[Tripod]

Chabot has been great.....as was Myers. But certainly the others need to step up.

too many imports

Agreed, Bean has been terrible. Chabot looks a lot like Pietrangelo.
