GDT: Sweden vs Czech

[tobu]

I think you're right. My bad

Then again, I'm just assuming, we may just as well lose 1-8 to Denmark too.

Huh I would expect to see a call for that holding on a blue line, but not this one. Anyway quite frustrating to see all the chances and nothing gets in. It would be a dagger to see Swedes convert now.

I was thining the same thing.. if the Vrana thing was a penalty then the pull down before that should've been too. HOwever, the call on Flek was not the strongest either. I"'m not ready to blame the refs yet.lol

It's a must watch! We might lose to GB too! I really don't want it to come down to an elimination match between Czechs and Slovaks. It's actually the last thing i want.lol

First time I've heard TSN mention the 96 to 2005 run and not call it the 'Hasek years'... I hate it when they call it the Hasek years... reason being because he only played in one of those many golds and that was Nagano. It was 8 golds between Olympics, World Jrs and WC's and Hasek played 1 of them. Call it the Vokoun years or the Chechmanek years or the Hnlickca years dammit! Done ranting.lol

 

[VictorLustig]

Lundeström really drives me nuts. Can someone please tell him the goal isn't in the corner....

 

[Czechboy]

Oh good, another Swedish PP... let's get them going on special teams... nothing to worry about.

 

[Czechboy]

Sekac! Bury one of these.. our best chances seem to end on your stick!

 

[Gereth]

Czechs visibly better than Swedes for quite some time, but nothing gets in. Just score for crying out loud.

Lundeström really drives me nuts. Can someone please tell him the goal isn't in the corner....

Yeah, he is not good. I think it is time to sit him. Try Hållander there a couple of shits, in the next game play Holmberg in his place. Would like to see a Hållander - Holmberg - Olofsson line vs GBR

 

[Czechboy]

Vrana still out there trying... good for him! You can't tell me he doesn't care about the national team.

 

[Finnswiss]

I think we can lose and sitll make Quarters...

I don't think the game is over but our 3 losses would be to Sweden, Switzerland and Russia.. we just have to beat the rest to make it. Not that I think that is easy or anything but we played the top 3 teams in pool in first 4 games. (with all due respect to Slovakia who was in first this morning).

You are of course right concerning the first 3 opponents of the Czechs they are all 3 the strong ones. But Slovakia has already 9 points and they still have an „easy“ opponent Denmark. If Slovakia wins in regular time they will finish the qualification round with at least 12 points. Sweden plays against Great Britain and Slovakia. If they win both they also finish at least with 12 points always if they win today. But if the Czechs lose this game they can attempt maximum 11 points even if they win all 3 games remaining to play and they finish the qualification round only as fifth.

 

[theslatcher]

Please play Olofsson on the Power Play

No idea why he isn't on PP1, best PP forward with the best shot, and is an underrated passer, too.

Needs better linesmates too, Sörensen, & Lundeström is wasting him. Especially Sörensen this game.

I totally agree... that's why I already said I was wrong above.lol Not happy over here.haha

 

[Czechboy]

I think that was a post for Spacek.. who has looked good today

 

[Gereth]

Nice hit. Czechs have life, get at least one before the end of the period!

 

[Czechboy]

That is exactly the bounce we need but it hit the post.. game of inches I tell ya

 

[Czechboy]

We have tomorrow off... I'd shorten that bench in the third and just go full out.

 

[Finnswiss]

Bad luck for the Czechs just before. Thy hit only the post. With a little bit more luck it could be 2-1 now.

 

[canswetoxic]

Czech is losing patience and getting temper, its gonna cost them

 

[PTmbp13]

Refs need to take a chechs for a 2 min.

 

[Gereth]

I'm in full agreement that Rakell would deserve a beating, but having Hronek sit with him doesn't help Czechs :/

 

[PTmbp13]

Not sure. They are all over swedes no penalty yet

It feels like our two best offensive players (Rakell and Olofsson) are both playing on lines with grinders. We have two offensive players in Holmberg and Hållander on the bench. My lines:

M. Kempe - A. Kempe - Rasmussen
Hållander - Holmberg - Olofsson
Frödén - Wingerli - Rakell
Lindberg - Lindholm - Sörensen

Are you joking? What are you even talking about?!

Haven't you seen #24 of Sweden clearly instigating at the end of the period?

 

[Heia Norge]

Good game by Sweden, all though I think the Czechs deserve a goal. Score should be 2-1, but Sweds are keeping it tight.
