GDT: Sweden vs. Canada | 12 February 2025 | 8:00 p.m. EST, 2:00 a.m. CET, 3:00 a.m. EET

[Hank Plank]

Canada has better players Sweden is a better team.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Marner should be scratched for the next game. A complete non factor.

Never made sense to take him to play meaningful games in the first place

 

[Gnome17]

Raymond was doing his best Hutson impression there for a second

 

[BelovedIsles]

The one aspect that strikes me is the differing talent through the lines.

 

[fahad203]

Parayko and Doughty looks very slow

 

[WarriorofTime]

Easily most engaged Crosby’s looked in any game I’ve seen him this year.

 

[Lumber]

Are you typing this on a typewriter?

I don't know why but I find that as funny as hell.

 

[Canadienna]

ruh roh canada about to choke?

Didn't you say you couldn't be bothered to watch as you'd be working on statistical models? lol

 

[ijuka]

Does 'Canada's goaltending sucks' count as an excuse?

It is the truth but they should not be behind in shots on goal considering these rosters.

 

[wonton15]

Bratt looks like he’s playing with brand new skates and stick for the first time in his life. So many stumbles and fumbles

 

[Your Boy Troy]

I would Hyman, Scheifele and Wilson over Marner

I wouldn't take them over Marner.

I know that he has a point in this game, but I would take all three over Seth Jarvis.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Binnington getting all the blame, as if Canada isn’t playing a stacked Swedish team

He's garbage, was at fault twice, he faced 5 good shots, three went in...

 

[fahad203]

The last 2 scoring chances have come from this line

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Same ones who think Bedard should be playing.

Marner has done nothing to sway my opinion on that front so far. I'd have much rather had Bedard and his shot in the lineup with McDavid.

 

[ijuka]

Didn't you say you couldn't be bothered to watch as you'd be working on statistical models lol

Yeah but I couldn't sleep so I just started watching since nothing else's going on anyway. With the hopes that I'd start feeling sleepy at some point but no such luck thus far.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Three minutes left.

Go for broke. Stack McDavid, Crosby, Mckinnon together.

Mack - Sid - March
McDavid - Makar

Go for broke

 

[PanniniClaus]

The skill level is great...but it definitely feels two steps down from past olympics best on best.

The intensity and atmosphere just aren't there to the extent I was hoping, the skill is fantastic though.

Are you referring to Sochi where we played the Babcock turtle to a 2-1 win over Latvia? 1-0 over Finland? 3-0 blowout of the Swedes. Masterclass in defending... it truly was and Doughty was named to the 1st all star team but that was not any kind of example of what the World's best have to offer.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Jasper Bratt does a lot of little things.

Crosby is always my fav.

 

[Regal]

Easily most engaged Crosby’s looked in any game I’ve seen him this year.

Still wish he’d agree to go to a contender

 

[lionsDen]

I’m sure things will jell but it’s looking tough so far

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Canada has better players Sweden is a better team.

If you count goaltending - and I don't see why you shouldn't - then it's pretty even.

 

[onmygameboi]

Bratt looks like he’s playing with brand new skates and stick for the first time in his life. So many stumbles and fumbles

Except on the game tying goal.

 

[Canadienna]

Yeah but I couldn't sleep so I just started watching since nothing else's going on anyway. With the hopes that I'd start feeling sleepy at some point but no such luck thus far.

I don't blame you. It's an entertaining game!

 

[Chainshot]

Good shift out of Marner and Reinhart.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Marner should be scratched for the next game. A complete non factor.

Not enough. He should be forced to walk downtown Montreal in a pink tutu playing a sad trombone
