GDT: Sweden Vs USA | 12/31 @ 9:30PM ET | TSN/NHLN

Not even just long-term but also short-term.

It’s not like this is an elimination game.

Ray was just saying they had a coach finally pull him from the game. It’s the right call, sucks to see him not play but he’s a teenager with tremendous upside.

Let him rest his injuries, it’s impacted his game in such a substantial way it’s obvious he needs to be pulled.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Damn Drew Helleson looks gooood

 

[snipes]

Raymond missed point blank.

Wallstedt has been steady since he came in.

 

[Go19]

A lot of puck luck tonight - wish there was some way to save it for later

 

[ORRFForever]

I share this pain..

"Pain" or "plan".

The Swedish players have to feel awful about themselves - especially since they seem to have quit.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Thinking of how much Broberg tried to play through injuries reminded me of the legendary Swedish Defenseman

Hope Broberg heals up quickly. Edmonton has a good one.

Ken Holland called Sweden's assistant coach during the break.

Good! Source ?

 

[AKL]

Good! Source ?

Oh I made that up, sorry.

There was no way Sweden was going to win, tonight.

First, the U.S. played well.
Second, the U.S. got lucky.
Third, everything Sweden touched went wrong.
Last, Sweden didn't seem "motivated".

I'm just hoping their lack of effort results in people from Sweden reaching out because I need them to be better than this in the quarters.

Raymond missed point blank.

Wallstedt has been steady since he came in.

He has missed so many.

 

[Macbanan]

I'd like to order a goal before I go to sleep please

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Good! Source ?

No source. Just the right time for the keyboard jockey's not to call him a p***y.

 

[goonybird]

Sweden's playing like shit. Doesn't mean they can't pull it out of the fire in the next round though. Aside from the last real olympics Canada has always had some garbage round-robin games and pulled it out in the end. Sweden needs to get back to basics because they're playing too 'cute'

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Maybe you can stop hoarding centers and let another team have him?

Try taking a winger instead.

Nah,LA likes centres

 

[Fatass]

Raymond missed point blank.

Wallstedt has been steady since he came in.

He’s been perfect. Should have come in after the second goal, and maybe we get a game?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Americans have quite the shutout streak going.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Hedstrom has been really impressive

[Sean Garrity]

Are Raymond or Holtz playing in this game?

 

[ecemleafs]

this back up goalie for sweden has been way better than the guy who started

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Sweden could've had a chance if this goalie was in sooner

Sometimes you gotta save a player from themselves. He shouldn’t have even dressed the last two games, he’s such an important piece of the Oilers future. His long term health is top priority and these injuries getting treated properly.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Are Raymond or Holtz playing in this game?

I've noticed Raymond a bit.

Holtz, not at all.

 

[Hinterland]

this back up goalie for sweden has been way better than the guy who started

Yeah. And he was very good in his first game, too. No idea why they even went back to Alnefelt. Wallstedt is just better. Big guy moving very well. Huge talent.

 

[Zub]

Welp, see u Sweeds on Saturday
