Reminder, even though for this game it's hopefully not an issue...

This is not the place for politics. Ultimately it's up to you to control yourself. If any of you get warned or banned for it, don't DM and further waste our time. You all know the rules that you agreed to. Control yourself.

Further to that, that includes talking about how the national anthems are being received. We all know the current situation between Canada and the USA. Let's just focus on the hockey.
 
Annoying, I'd hope to see Sweden go all out for a game for once instead of playing passive but unless Canada - Finland goes to overtime this game don't matter at all, not to mention the prestige is some what gone anyway since US don't really have anything to play for.

Swedens strengths has always been the collective, pyck possesion, defense, and some offensive star. Now there is just Forsberg and Nylander that is somewhat elite up front. E Pettersson a player that is truly superior against not elite opposition, but meh against elite. He should be a 2nd line 2 way center.

Sweden just lacks a centerpunch. EP is never great is NT. And Zibanejad is declining, Backström is injured , and also to old if he was healthy. Leo Carlsson shouldnt be the top line C, but should be the next 1C. Sad to say, Elias is just not a true 1C.

I think Sweden should stay with their lines, chemistry takes time. But I would myslef like to change lines a bit

Forsberg Zibby Raymond
Bratt Carlsson Rakell
Nylander Eriksson-Ek Kempe
Eklund EP Lindholm

I feel Elias P is completly off his game right now.

Have you any Swedish connection? How on earth did you come up with
DET HÄR ÄR UTEDASS! - hilarious :) :) :)

All the Swedish people have disappeared from this Forum on saturday night - What happened?
Im here!
 
I predict Cananda takes 3 points and this game only decides where in the group Sweden finishes.

If Finland wins then hats off to them but I still think USA will win the tournament if that is the case.

On the other hand Finland has had som huge upsets in the last years, they have a generation of new players that are used to winning international tournaments rather than losing (as used to be the case in the old days)

would Sweden make it in the final game if Canada/Finland goto OT (2pts max) and Sweden outright beats USA?

Every team still has a chance to make it to the final. Thats how these tournament formats are set up; to make sure there are no 'meaningless' games. Everyone is still in it till the last game.

If Cooper goes with Binnington I like Finlands chances
 
Only way this game becomes interesting is if tre kronor boo the US anthem. 😁

Tkachuks gonna scrap with Pettersson and Nylander off the start.
Miller sizing up Pettersson would be epic!

It could have been meaningless
 
Aw yeah buddy we need way more Elias "Basically McJesus but better" Pettersson up in this bitch, all that animal does is butters perfect passes, pops bottles pops p***yes so keep your finger on that lamp light limpdick cause the forecast is goals.

f*** your cookie jar and your water bottles, you better get quality rubbermaids bud cause she's gonna spend a lot of time hitting the f***ing ice if Elias has anything to say about it. Blistering Wristers or fat clappers, this f***in guy can't be stopped.

If I had a choice of one attack to use to kill Hitler I would choose a Pettersson snipe from the top of the circle because you f***ing know his evil dome would be bouncing off the end boards after that puck is loosed like lightning from the blade of God's own CCM. I'd just pick up the phone and call Elias Pettersson at 1-800-TOP-TITS where he can be found earning his living at the back of the goddamn net. The world record for a recorded sniper kill is 3,540m, but that's only because nobody has asked ya boi Pettersson to rip any wristers at ISIS yet.
 
Hope to be watching this one tonight while I’m in Costa Rica, I’m tired of seeing nothing but soccer jerseys. 😳
