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

[djf]

...and it's Patrik Stefan's parents fault that Atlanta doesn't have a hockey team anymore.

Dahlins failed pass put Sweden in their own zone for like 2 mins. That's pretty much direct causation.

 

[Acetylene]

No one is looking to hurt Van Pottelberghe. What kind of name is that anyway?

Well, I occasionally ask myself how the hell anyone can have Lööke as a last name...

 

[czechcanadian]

Crazy how Sweden NEVER over-perform on the national stage,only find ways to lose to inferior opponents.

Uuuuhhhhh...... really? I don't ever recall Sweden underperforming, at least in the WJC. They've been nothing but dominant for a long time.

We are 36-0 in group stage. We lose when the going gets tough, though.

Edit: 37-0*

Is that streak still going?

 

[Hinterland]

Well, there have been several attempts. You're responsible for your actions...especially in the slot. Can't just run over a Goalie inside the blue paint.

 

[gretskidoo]

While Grundstrom looks good, it's worrying that he's our best forward.

Yeah, why exactly isn't Liljegren here? Is he really playing that poorly this season?

Like I've said before, at best you're looking at 3 defensemen better than him on the team. As we can see, that's more likely 1.

It's almost as bad as not picking Hedman for the Olympics.

 

[JimboA]

Is that streak still going?

At least that's what James Duthie said the other day on TSN's pre WJC show.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Is that streak still going?

Yep 37-0 in the group stage since the OT loss to USA in the 2007 U20

 

[czechcanadian]

This is seriously the exact same game as yesterday lol
PP after PP for Swiss.

 

[Cruz]

At least that's what James Duthie said the other day on TSN's pre WJC show.

Pretty incredible. But would have gladly traded it for a few golds tough.

 

[EK47]

****ing useless 4th line

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Thats not a penalty

 

[PG Canuck]

Okay, the Swiss have to capitalize here.

 

[Romang67]

... That's not a hook on the leg, Button.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's not a glove pass, he whacked it with his stick afterwards

 

[Iceman]

That's weak imo.

 

[gretskidoo]

Hischier with the 3rd dive of the game. Nice.

Must be NHL refs.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

These refs... When Sweden starts playing good they pull a penalty out of their *****.

 

[Romang67]

Hischier seems well aware that his team relies on the PP.

 

[ulvvf]

Now play with dahlin in PP, and do not play with Lööke.

 

[Nordic*]

Are the refs Swiss?

 

[Cruz]

I'm not a fan of Kylington, at all.

 

[Dosing]

Kylington still on the powerplay.

 

[Romang67]

Now play with dahlin in PP, and do not play with Lööke.

Beyak is pronouncing Dahlén's last name as Dahlin. Does that count?
