GDT: Sweden Vs Kazakhstan | 5:00PM | Group A - TD Place

[Hennessy]

Am I wrong for turning on the game late and being shocked that it was only 4-0?

But seriously, I always have a soft spot flr Kazakhstan whenever they're in a major tournament. I keep hoping they find some success outside of whatever was left them after the dissolution of the USSR.

I mean they have been a 1st/2nd division tweener. Being absolutely obliterated by one of the big boys in a weak year in a junior tournament isn’t really that shocking IMO, especially with Russia as non participants considering they likely would’ve been in the second division otherwise.

Nice to see Wikegård at WJC again.

SVT with their ridiculous budget should hand him a blank check so they can replace Andersson. People watch hockey broadcasts he is in just because he is in it.

Dunno how much he can face in these broadcasts nowadays due to his job at Djurgårn but yeah.

Dirty dirty elbow

The USSR is long gone and hockey in Kazakhstan is a-booming. They're slowly progressing and hockey is very popular over there.

If you look at the faces of Kazakhstani players in the 90s or 00s, they're all Russian. These days ethnic Kazakhs are slowly becoming a majority on their junior national teams.

So hockey is on the way up there.

I'm so happy that Kaz scored. You can see the excitement on their faces.

 

[Gazewithin]

Well played by our "defensive specialists".

Agree, can't be too mad.

Aye, happy for them... Except for Migunov, what the hell was that elbow?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

I’d rather them play with 11 forwards than have to watch Altörn and Vuollet

 

[theslatcher]

Wikegård with a opinion.

 

[Mike Liut]

Otto Stenberg is gonna single handedly make me lose my pool, how is this guy so bad?

He’s a 2 way beast

 

[Gazewithin]

Wikegård with a opinion.

Don't even know what he said, but to no surprise. More entertainer than expert.

I never bother watching during intermissions, Dusan makes me want to snort laundry detergent.

He wants to put age restrictions on where juniors can play. e.g. U18 players not being able to play in J20, that kind of shit.

does anyone else think Sweden looks TERRIBLE coming out of their own end???

This is usually the part of the game where i think they are the best of anyone. Their defensemen's passing this game is horrible.

 

[tabness]

just tuned into to game, 8-1 already (Canada's favorite score ) and no points for ASP?

this better be him just wanting to score vs good teams

It's almost like they don't care about this game, eh?

really? thats the reason?

you shouldnt even dog it in practice, never mind a game.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Gidlöf not looking cool, calm and collected

 

[Dingo]

Button alluding to Sweden's passing right now. I'm not imagining it.

 

[Predatore]

Wow, was this a snoozefest after the first period

Canada would probably scored twice as many goals since they never slack down, even with huge early leads.

Cannot really say any Swedes were spectacular, but I liked Willander, Wahlberg and Granberg I guess.

Herman Träff has been completely invisible for two games now.
