Karlsson looks much better away from Sullivans system

 

[fahad203]

Forsling did a great job defending Crosby there, he kept him to the outside and prevented him from shooting, the rest of team Sweden did not defend at all.

I thought Gus should have had that. Pretty standard shot and rush

 

[Chainshot]

So he is playing like its a ranger game.

The possession killing passes into the corner have also been... something. Something shitty, but something. Some of the Swedes look like they care - Raymond, JEE, Kempe, Arvidsson... and then there is Bill and Zibby like they are in warmups.

 

[William H Bonney]

Sweden was having a great period and then Nylander turns it over and then doesn't cover his man coming back.... brutal.

He's having a great game if you're a Canadian fan. Directly responsible 2 goals against

 

[Canucks LB]

Looks like nylander would prefer to go on vacation after that shift.

Terrible giveaway, and a brutal backcheck

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Yo Binnington always plays like this?

I have more confidence in Montembeault...

 

[armani]

Wowowow Stone from Crosby, who is playing like he always does for Canada, as its best player. Wow!

The first (MacKinnon) goal gave me that Pronger, split leg Lemieux, Igina finish vibes. Crosby with eyes at the back of his head.

McDavid chomping at the bit, Go Canada Go!

 

[Canucks LB]

Crosby even at his age is just so fun to watch man

 

[Summer Rose]

Sid at 37 is so damn impressive.

I'm older than him. This should be illegal.

 

[Turin]

Its crazy how Crosby is still a dominant player

He’s a freak of an athlete

 

[Felidae]

Much better 2nd period by Sweden but that awful 1st may have did them in.

 

[Chainshot]

Forsling did a great job defending Crosby there, he kept him to the outside and prevented him from shooting, the rest of team Sweden did not defend at all.

Sid has always done a lot of damage by drawing people onto his back and being able to turn tightly into an accurate pass. Agreed that Zibby and Willy though should feel shame on that.

 

[HabsCode]

Its crazy how Crosby is still a dominant player

Obviously Pittsburgh wouldn’t do it, but the haul Crosby could get them could really jumpstart their rebuild. Crosby would be a massive add to any contender and lots of team would bid for him.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

If the Canada/USA game looks like the first period of this game…Canada wins by 3 or 4. If it looks like the 2nd period, USA wins by 3 or 4.

That’s all the insight I have besides saying I’m thoroughly enjoying this

 

[Canucks LB]

Lucas Raymond is the most dynamic play driving swedish forward in the world

Really impressive, great young lad

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Either McDavid is cooked or he doesn't care at all.

He's looked good. It's Marner on that line that's allergic to forechecking

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Marner and McDavid should not be on the same line.

 

[NyQuil]

Crosby even at his age is just so fun to watch man

Lemieux in 2002 vibes.

 

[therealkoho]

Nylander has been terrible, looks like he's not trying so far.

Something us Leafs fans have been suffering career long, wait till you see the Americans play, you'll see a lot more of it.

 

[Civetty]

I'm fine losing this game, I just want to get the feeling we can be competetive in the olympics and at least the 2nd period told me that we might be.

 

[IceManCat]

As Pens fans we've long known that Sid has that "it" factor. Just rises to the occasion

Yep a true Champion through and through. He has what McDavid lacks.

 

[Gnome17]

Erik Karlsson is very good. When he doesnt have to take a big defensive responsibility he shines, has probably been the most noticeable swede so far.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Karlsson looks much better away from Sullivans system

Lol The 3 best players so far in this tournament have been Sid, EK and Raks. F Sullivan

 

[Bgav]

Why are the fans so quiet lol

 

[Zirakzigil]

McDavid wants to score so badly he almost did on Canada there
