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

[Fossy21]

As one of those registered players, I'm a threat to European domination.

And there are no beer leagues in Sweden, all 60,000 are trained by the state to slowly but surely take over the NHL.

Sweden has no sense of urgency ever.

They play every minute the same way.

I don't think they had any idea what hit them once Canada brought in an extra guy on the forecheck. Just no in-game adjustments.

 

[jj cale]

I mean, to be honest, Canada just needed a spark to elevate their play.
They didn't even look all that good in the quarters.
Hart was the spark.

They were playing fine before hart came in, Hart just came in and played well and allowed them to play even better.

 

[Rocko604]

Well that was a pleasant surprise. Hart looked fantastic.

 

[Seachd]

Why should they be? Sweden is better per capita, that's my point.

This logic is fantastic.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Like I said, best I've seen this tourney is Nylander.

That's not what you said whatsoever, you said Canada couldn't produce any players of Nylander's caliber.

 

[NyQuil]

Why should they be? Sweden is better per capita, that's my point.

Slovenia is clearly the best team per capita.

You should cheer for them.

 

[EMeduza]

How did you determine that?

It's pretty simple. 2 goals * 3 = 6 goals which means Sweden wins 6-5.

 

[chunkylover53]

Bold take, Russia beats Sweden as well.

 

[Korpse]

It's pretty simple. 2 goals * 3 = 6 goals which means Sweden wins 6-5.

That's incredible.

It's always hilarious when people reading comprehension is so bad they don't actually get what they said.

Meh. Not really. That got scored against on a PP.
Looked like the game was gonna be as shaky as the quarters.
Hart made some nice stops @ 2-1 Sweden.
Canada fed off it.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sweden might actually have the better team... They just didn't play like it tonight. You have to show up .. battle and win... like Canada did

Don't agree, they were skating hard and taking the play to them right from the bat, the fact they got scored on a pp does not change that for me................say hello to Ingram.

Poor kid.

 

[NyQuil]

It was closer than the score indicated.

Both semis were good entertainment!

 

[Blitzago*]

Oh, I am sorry. Was mcjesus in this tournament? Must have missed him......pffft

Canada's best players are playing in the toughest league in the world, and we still ended up crushing sweden.

 

[22Brad Park]

Chabot has played very well.But lets be serious here.If he was elite he would be in NHL by now.Average at best when he gets there ...wait n see.This tourney has TONS OF PLAYERS WHO PLAYED WELL AND BUST OUT IN NHL.Bust being not much impact.He reminds me of Brayden Coburn.

 

[PG Canuck]

Canada was all over Sweden to start - Ingram was really the only weaklink.

 

[y2kcanucks]

LOL what the hell? Sweden doesn't have a Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Two words for Sweden to beat Russia. 5 hole

Well that sucks

How does Juulsen career looks like in your crystal ball ?

 

[Cellee]

That save by the swedish kid was ridiculous.

 

[DangerDave]

Hart, Cirelli and Juulsen impressed me a lot tonight. What a good game all around. Very entertaining.

Detroit is lauded for giving their prospects time in the minors before making the big team and now I read this ****.

 

[Fossy21]

LOL what the hell? Sweden doesn't have a Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby.

They are lacking at forward, for sure.

You could take their best D-men and put them up against the best D from all other countries combined and they'd match them, however.
