GDT: Sweden (8) vs. Slovakia (3) • Quarterfinals • Jan. 2

[Elvs]

I really like some of the Slovak prospects, but they have several depth players who are just trash.

Martin Bodak has impressed me. Even when the Slovaks are under heavy pressure, he seems poised. I would have thought he'd be a late round draft pick, but is it possible he could be picked somewhere in the 3rd/4th round?

what is the exact rule on that

Don't think you were allowed in the crease unless the puck is in there

 

[Prntscrn]

Pettersson has sooo much muscles he need to put on. Lying around on the ice than he is on his feet

 

[YakDavid]

Don't think you were allowed in the crease unless the puck is in there

thats what i was thinking, seems like they are more relaxed on it this year

 

[Kherron]

Huska looka lost in net

Dude gets peppered by shots every game he plays and doesn't get a lot of D support so he's probably tired.

I've seen it called 6 or 7 times at least. Which to be fair is less than usual. Either players aren't doing it as much, or they're more lax on it.

Luca... Luca shoots... Luca has the puck... At least call him Loki or something... I don't know why it bothers me...

 

[McCullogh]

Asplund is having a great game.

 

[FrodoBeggins]

what happened with Joel Eriksson Ek? a long time did not see him on the court

 

[that is unfortunate]

Luca... Luca shoots... Luca has the puck... At least call him Loki or something... I don't know why it bothers me...

I normally don't get annoyed by this either, "Necash" really does for some reason.

The swedish commentators said he had some problems with the skates.

changed blades

Swedes are mental midgets at all levels.

think you think of finland. Sweden always beat them even if behind. Finns get scared. Then you have the east europe countries, often best only when their leading. Swedes are tough mentally. The three goals tonight is only because they got sleepy... for a while just

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Good again Pettersson

 

[mjlee]

Anyone else noticing how badly the commentators are butchering the players names? I heard Ekman-Larsson several time, assuming that's Eriksson Ek. Not to mention talking about Michael Nylander playing in last year's WJC. Also stop calling Lööke Luca, as someone said, at least call him Loki. That they get mixed up over all the Anderssons etc is more understandable

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Ek!!

 

[Urgi]

Captain.

 

[mindfly]

Eriksson Ek is like a man among boys out there

Ray called Larsson Karlsson.

I assumed "Ekman-Larsson" was Jacob Larsson and they just said Ekman by force of habit or something

 

[Ace]

Get Asplund a bushel for all of his apples.

 

[Appleyard]

They also said William Nylander was Alexander's dad at one point...

Sweden is the best hockey nation in thge world....if you only count round Robin, AKA games that don't really matter.
