GDT: Sweden (2) vs. Canada (5) • Semifinals • Jan. 4 • Part 3

[Alerion]

Why are they awarding these before the medal games...?

 

[EMeduza]

Haha what?

If Sweden had a 30 million population they would have won easily.

 

[Mach12]

Seriously, no Gauthier? Barzal is a good player but eh.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Meh, Canada won, but Sweden wad the better team.
Nylander beats anything the Canadians are producing now a days.

He's no McDavid.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Why 430p PST on a Thursday for the gold medal round? Brutal.

That's prime time in the East, and this a long tournament with all the participants belonging to other club teams. Can only drag it out so long.

 

[HavlatMach9]

Meh, Canada won, but Sweden wad the better team.

what about tonight?

 

[kingsholygrail]

So do these guys get watches every round or...?

I feel for the Swedish players and their fans. Such an incredible record in the preliminaries. If there's one team I'd love to see win (if Canada was out) it would be Sweden.

 

[nucks88]

I see the Swedish coach isn't smiling anymore

Passed his bedtime- getting cranky.

 

[GKJ]

Pretty fun to see two Flyers prospects battle it out in net

 

[NyQuil]

Chabot's dad doing his dance again.

 

[JFG]

On paper the score was 5-2

Maybe I'm translating a Swedish idiom wrong. I meant that the two teams before hand were close in terms of skill.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

That's what they said about the Swede team

LOL, USA is not Sweden, they can handle whatever the Canadians bring.

Yeah who is that McDavid scrub.

 

[Captain Bowie]

In fairness, Bell Centre was half-empty in the quarter final and not even close to filled tonight, and it was rather silent until 3-2. If you're referring to these threads... it shouldn't be surprising as this forum attracts hardcore hockey fans.

Good luck to Canada in the finals! Haven't been particularly impressed by USA so far (against Latvia or Switzerland in particular, but that means almost nothing - they did have decent games against Canada and Russia, which suggests they might play to the level of their opponents). Should be a good game!

You are saying not winning gold every year is stopping people from attending games? Might want to check the prices.

 

[Tom Brady]

Turned on the TV before the game TSN had me convinced Canada was the underdog , when it come's to hockey Canada is never the underdog, should've have been 7/8-0 Canada instead of 5-2. bring on the States.

 

[Prov1X]

I am saying Choke because Sweden has gone 40-0 in round robin play the last 10 years of this tournament and have what ONE gold medal to show for it. Everyone was going on how they were going to walk all over everyone including Canada, but guess what, this is why we play the games.

 

[Sher-Wood]

Canada won fair and square. But no congrats. For the first time in my life I will cheer for USA in a Can-USA match up. Hate diving and this candian team was just plain embarrising.

Go USA!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

People singing in French

 

[Snippit]

Meh, Canada won, but Sweden wad the better team.

Lol, relax.

I'm a Sabres fans but Canada produces prospects better than Nylander in most years.

 

[theaub]

hah this answers a random question I've thought about as to if people in Montreal would crowd sing the last stanza in English.

 

[CBJx614]

Dubois looking much better this game. Seemed to play like a kid possessed out there.

 

[Tripod]

Meh, Canada won, but Sweden wad the better team.

McDavid says pardon??

 

[TheBeastCoast]

LOL, USA is not Sweden, they can handle whatever the Canadians bring.

lmao you better hope they do because the amount of crow you will eat if they don't will be legendary.

 

[trilobyte]

USA is gonna be tough tough tough.
Wouldn't want it any other way
