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

[stokes84]

Sweden fans have zero reason to blame the refs. The refs have let a lot go.

Neutral. Totally disagree. Seems only Canadian fans are saying this.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Amazing what competent goaltending can do.
Once Canada realized Hart was ready to battle with em.
They've looked like the best team in this tourney.

 

[Quality Oil]

Admitedly have not watched Sweden play much but Alex Nylander skates and plays so much like William Nylander. They look like the same player.

They are both phenomenal talents

 

[ashs]

Sloppy game.

 

[DangerDave]

Another solid play by Juulsen

I'm having a hard time deciding between Juulsen and Cirelli for who gets player of the game.

 

[KingTux]

I blame the refs for Chabot hitting that post.

good ol Canadian tradition

 

[OilerTyler]

Well, they helped Canada to get the lead.

Nahhh

 

[Blitzago*]

They've called 2 crap penalties that led directly to Canada goals. In the 1st when Chabot hit his man way after the whistle and then folded like a cheap suit to draw a penalty when Sweden returned the same, and that garbage call a few minutes ago (that, might I remind everyone, was goalie interference against Sweden when a near identical play happened at the other end of the ice).

Canada's been the better team most of the game, but they wouldn't be ahead on the score sheet right now without those terrible calls.

And what about the non call on sweden when barzal had a tap in and was tripped?

See, it goes both ways.

For what? being 10x stronger than Joseph, that's hockey ffs

This is international junior hockey, not the NHL. Throwing someone to the ice then pushing down on his face twice after the whistle is supposed to be a penalty.

And Sweden has had weak calls in there favour and not capitalized on it. That's hockey.

Canada has outplayed them, and by a lot.

 

[Snippit]

Asplund might be the best Swede today.

 

[playasRus]

Sweden getting rowdy. Pinning a Canadian head t the ice. Hopefully Canada stays composed and doesnt take stupid penalties.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Chabot with the poteau

 

[Daeni10]

Sweds gotta be the worst for blaming the refs, damn.

To be honest you are all similar in that regard, it just gets worse when the team is losing

 

[Muston Atthews]

Not international hockey. If they keep it up they will get called. Everyone has watched this tournament year after year. The refs don't put up with any ******** after whistles

 

[KPower]

Neutral. Totally disagree. Seems only Canadian fans are saying this.

Neutral?

 

[General Zodd]

Might be for a reason.

Enjoy that crow. Might wanna heat it up a bit?

 

[Snippit]

Game is closer than the score indicates.

Canada should be up by 4 or 5.

Was it not 4 on 4 both times...maybe Sweden should play better? Hopefully they aren't as worried about the refs as their fans, otherwise it explains a lot.

 

[Stad]

Admitedly have not watched Sweden play much but Alex Nylander skates and plays so much like William Nylander. They look like the same player.

They must be brothers.

 

[SI90]

Canada picked a great time to play their best game.

 

[Villert]

All I can say is... if it were the other way around and the Canadians were roughing up the Swedes after the whistle - you'd still have the same people whining only about different things.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I'm having a hard time deciding between Juulsen and Cirelli for who gets player of the game.

I am on record as not being the biggest Juulsen fan and think he has been average up to this point but he has been an absolute stud tonight.
