GDT: Sweden vs Poland

[Eye of Ra]

Swedish players and coach said this about Poland to Swedish media

Erik Karlsson;
- Everyone expects that they will skate hard. Everyone skates well these days. They are used to playing on this type of ice. It should be a fun game, even though they may not have as much experience as we do.

- They will play their best hockey, so it is important that we are super ready. They will come flying, says Rasmus Dahlin

- We have talked about how Poland has made it to the A group and is really playing for its country. The high average age is not a negative. Then they had 19-year-old Krzysztof Macias who looked really sharp, says Tre Kronor's national team captain Sam Hallam

@Eye of Ra have you bet on Poland?

I stopped betting many years ago when i got 7 wins on v75 (horse racing) and still just won 150 kr. It was supposed to be millions kr. I gave up on betting becuse of that. My guess is 5-2 win for Sweden.

Friberg 13F, other than that the lineup is the same.

FUS instead of Olofsson would be ideal

 

[NyQuil]

How many spots above Sweden is Poland in your own personal rankings, @Eye of Ra ?

Wait until the QF. That is when Hallam will have given upp on Olofsson

Too late. Need to get FUS warm.

Kacper Macias with emergency call up to replace Bartosz Ciura who suffered a broken finger in game vs Latvia.
Also, Zabolotny will start in net today.
I fully expect a loss today, just hope we can make it competitive but I think yesterdays game took a lot out of the Polish players.

 

[SoundAndFury]

If Finns scored 8 with the roster they have, Swedes can do 10.

No chance for Fucik to get a game?

Poland is better than UK

 

[SoundAndFury]

Poland is better than UK

Yes and they are both better than Sweden but worse than Ghana. I know.

Sweden doesn't like to run up the score.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Sweden doesn't like to run up the score.

That's a nice way to call Finns classless

 

[awegrzyn]

We won't even score a goal. They should start players that are not needed to fight for the relegation. Rest the best players.

It's so wrong, so wrong to create this thread here. This is not a real game. The difference is so big between the teams.

 

[Summer Rose]

So I think I'll watch this game instead of Austria vs. Switzerland.

 

[Summer Rose]

1-0 to Sweden. That didn't take long.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Dominant shift for Sweden.

 

[ozo]

Did Poland tip that in their own net? Well well well...

 

[Summer Rose]

Did Poland tip that in their own net? Well well well...

Yes they did, but a Swedish forward was probably going to tap it in if the Polish defenseman didn't tip it into his own net.

 

[Summer Rose]

2-0 Sweden now.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Poland with two good chances, but two Gus saves. And Kempe nice pass for a Raymond tap in.

 

[Hennessy]

Loving the Poles' tenacity.
