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

[Prntscrn]

As always we can't handle the high intensity. Atleast they stepped up att bit late in the 2nd

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I thought Chabot was going to put that in the net for a second

Demoing to Dubois how you can pass it up

 

[Zybalto]

Looks like the refs are letting them go a bit....even the too many men penalties.

 

[PG Canuck]

what a ****ing game

i love the world juniors

 

[DangerDave]

What game are you watching? Him and fabbro are probably our best D tonight....

no idea what he's on about... He's been rock solid and he's hitting everything. Great game for him.

 

[Macbanan]

7 swedish players on the ice according to the swedish commentators...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Um there were like 8 Swedes on the ice?

 

[Dod93Cityt]

Yeah so by the time they get here they'll be used to playing without a defense

Are you new? Philly has awesome young D.

 

[Prov1X]

Lol half of the Swedish team on the ice

Must have thought that the period was over!

 

[Canada4Gold]

Clear too many men, 7 guys on the ice and the guy jumping on touched the puck

 

[Nash]

Man, both these two teams a pretty much garbage and how did anyone think the Swedes were favorite? USA should have an easy time with whoever wins this.

Both Gold and Bronze games will be close. All 4 teams are fairly even this year. Canada is perhaps the worst individually, but tonight they are simply playing the best cohesive game I've seen from them all tournament with far more energy than any previous match they've played.

 

[YakDavid]

In another thread, someone made a good point.

Lots of the Euro goalies get to play against men and thus harder, fast shots. So maybe they are more suited when you face a team that gasps 4 lines that can score vs CHL goalies who usually have to only worry about 2 lines.

never thought of it that way. be interesting to see if these european goalies make the transition faster

 

[Bourdon]

And to think that Hart and Sandstrom are both Phidadelphia prospects...

And people should know, Sandstrom was awful last year as an 18 year old in this tournament. So before people lay on players like Ingram or Hart, they should also know that these are kids playing in a short tournament against the best players in their age groups. So small sample size and all that.

 

[Nordic*]

Now Canada has blown all their energy, time for Sweden to start skating.

 

[KPower]

Sweden so lucky to be only down 1 after that period.

 

[General Zodd]

I thought Chabot was going to put that in the net for a second

Yeah me too!

 

[Jacksonbobson]

Juulsen has been just awful.

Hes constantly been running over every yellow jersey he has seen and has hardly been a liability in his own end.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

He is good.

CHL goalie of the year.
2-0 in this tournament.
Canada is winning 3-0 since he came in.
Bending without breaking is fine.

They're actually only up 2-0 since he came in. It was 2-1 when Canada pulled Ingram.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

What game are you watching? Him and fabbro are probably our best D tonight....

Definitely Juulsen's best game this tournament

 

[Dosing]

If i wake up tomorrow and kylington have scored i will eat crow but i doubt it as he's worthless and should be benched in the final

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I really thought Sweden would win this game. Canada doing way better than I expected. Let's see what the 3rd period holds.

 

[ViD]

Sweden is going to win.

Mark my words

 

[PRZ45MD]

In terms of goaltending overall, thank god for Holtby. But since him, there's been nothing. In terms of the world juniors though yeah I can't remember the last time goaltending was a real strength that inspired much confidence

Dustin Tokarski was good for Canada...and Norfolk.

 

[General Zodd]

Now Canada has blown all their energy, time for Sweden to start skating.

It's okay we're saving a big **** for the 3rd!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Gauthier has to drive that puck wide. He slowed up twice avoiding hits and lost the puck. He should be trying to drive through the hit
