GDT: Switzerland (2) vs. Sweden (4) • Group A • Dec. 28

[EK47]

Holy!

 

[djf]

Rocket of a shot by Carlsson, didn't know he had that in him

 

[Willy Stylez]

Yikes.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Oh well, the Swiss hung in there for a while. Hopefully they can still manage to get 2nd

 

[Slimmy]

Yeeeeees!

 

[bDtKarlsson]

When will Sweden get rid of that horrible goal song?

 

[Cruz]

Feels like Grundström and Eriksson Ek have to do the hard work this tournament. Very important players. Both very good.

But isn't Nylander pretty invincible? Expected more. Still early in the tournament tough.

 

[Romang67]

That should ice it. Something needs to be done about the special teams, but apart from that it looked pretty good against a good Swiss team.

 

[ulvvf]

I am not a big fan of Lööke, but he did it good there. No assist, but still a good action from him.

But Dahlin hasnt play much in the 3th period, weird to basically bench our best player.

They hung in there for a long time. That alone is pretty good for them. For it to only be 4-2 against a powerhouse is awesome.

They're overplaying their good players, so they get tired at the end of the games.. won't go far with that tactic.

 

[Bjornee]

38-0

 

[Slimmy]

38 straight wins in the group stage. That has to be some kind of record since they changed the format, no?

They have no choice. It's still a good game from them.

Nylander has done alot of good things in this game, not flashy but good control and distributing of the puck.

 

[Acetylene]

Well, bring on the Finns next, I guess

Versus weaker teams they don't need to overplay them that much.

 

[gretskidoo]

If Dahlin isn't on the PP in the next game, Montén is a complete and utter moron.

But Dahlin hasnt play much in the 3th period, weird to basically bench our best player.

He made a mistake. Obviously our other defensemen are perfect.

 

[Woodhouse]

Sandstrom could have done better on each GA though. I don't think this was as close as the score was for most of the game. Sweden controlled the game despite not hitting a real groove yet.

Not his greatest game but he made a nice play on the decisive goal.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Good game.

 

[Hinterland]

Clearly. Everytime they go off the ice, the puck almost exclusively belongs to the Swedes
But does it matter? Can't win every game anyway. If the Swedes want this one so badly, let them have it. It's not realistic to have Siegenthaler play 26 minutes 4 times in 5 days and expect him to be fresh for the quarterfinals the day after

I knew it. If you don't have depth, you can't compete in every single game. If the Swedes want it so badly, then why would you try to force something? Guys like Thürkauf, Siegenthaler or Karrer must be really tired now. They played around 50mins of hockey within 24h. You also got a tired goalie now...I called it from the beginning...should have started Matteo Ritz.

4p in 2 games as underager is ok, but sure he can be even better.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sweden should keep that Gundstrom Eriksson Ek Nylander line together IMO

 

[Fragmuffin]

Really entertaining game today, but i honestly dont understand some swedish posters... your team played amazing today, the pressure, cycling, board battles. Doesnt get better than this.
