GDT: Sweden - USA; Pool A, May 23rd, 2023

[member 305909]

I'm sure both prefer Slovakia/Latvia to Canada/Czechs in the QFs.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

These refs are the worst ...

Well... its point of view really. They decided to call the game 100% to the rule book. They decided to call everything. even the smallest ones

Looked like one hell of a period to watch…

Watching the play-by-play log is more entertaining.

I think a football game would have had more action in a quarter than that period.

Lol I am entertained

-Curious to where Bonino ends up signing. I can see Philadelphia knocking or even Pittsburgh again (but I don’t know who our GM is yet). Bonino helping out Cutter would be beneficial there.

-O’Connor and Bonino would have been on the same line if Bones doesn’t get hurt towards the end, as well.

-Columbus fans have to be excited about Karlsson joining the mix.

Kinda crazy Bonino came to this thing as a pending free agent. You see what happened to Sandin, gotta make people nervous. He probably views it as maybe the last chance to represent the stars and stripes. His commitment is appreciated.

First Veleno and then Eyssimont. Two absolutely disgusting and insidious procedures. And then the NA people will cry again over the foul of some European, because they are the tough people after all..

The US mindset is like something out of the 70s. What is it supposed to be? Mazur also intentionally slashes Johansson after a stoppage in play, two penalties for goalie interference is a really bad joke. We have to compensate for Eyssimont's correct elimination..I'm sick. I was looking forward to a match between two great teams, now I'm in the mood to turn the match off. I just hope USA doesn't injure any more players..

Philly wants to suck, unless they sign him to a 1 year deal to flip him at the deadline I can't see him going there.

 

[Wattsburgh]

O’Connor needs to shoot more. How many shots does Cutter have? I remember it saying around 8 last game and he’s already at 4 in this one lol.

True.

 

[Summer Rose]

USA back to the power play. Another weak call.

Goal USA! 2-1!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice job Garland.

 

[Elias40]

And again, unsportsmanlike play...Sörensen holds the puck under his skates and Perunovich kicks him at least three times...why do the idiots from the USA do that?

Because they know the referee won’t call it. If a Swedish player does the same thing it’s 2 minutes and US powerplay.

Whenever it’s 5 vs 5 Sweden have the edge. The referee are there to make sure the bigger TV markets keep watching.

American audience probably aren’t very interested in fair game. They just want to see their team win.

 

[Postulates]

Missing the Swedish dude kicking at the United States feet during the powerplay though

 

[matsqq]

Many injuries for Sweden

 

[theslatcher]

Bruh, they really put Silfverberg on the PP with Petersson out.

And can the American players stop?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Clown refs, let them play

 

[Summer Rose]

3-1 USA!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Its over, gg

 

[Czechboy]

Lots to fight for here... I picked Finland to win the group and then both these nations did awesome in round robin!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Lord Lane!

 

[Wattsburgh]

Montreal knows how to draft them lately.

 

[Postulates]

LANE

Lord Lane!

Absolutely beautiful goal

 

[matsqq]

Losing is one thing, but all these injuries

Not a fan of the behaviour of team USA, they play well, but ....

 

[Razamanaz]

3-1.

USA

And Sweden is goin' no where.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Lane Hutson is gonna be a good one
