GDT: U.S.A. vs Sweden @ 7pm PT/ 10pm ET/ 4am Monday CEST

[JellyRamp]

The US team continues to out skate the Swedes. They are everywhere on the forecheck, pressuring on the backcheck. It's so noticeable.

yeah, sweden look exhausted on the ice

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

US is looking like a well oiled machine right now, really great execution on breakouts

Bruins boys aren’t having a good showing between Lysell and Duran

 

[Summer Rose]

Sweden looks... bad.

 

[jj cale]

Sweden looks... bad.

Buttons off the board pick ain't looking too good right now.

Button is a moron.

Sweden need to get shots on net. I know that’s not a ground breaking take. But, USA’s goalie hasn’t looked amazing and is not a highly regarded prospect (literally undrafted).

Sweden has some good shooters. Just get it to the net.

They keep missing the net. Sweden has been awful this period.

 

[ORRFForever]

Button is a moron.

I mute the TV.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

i sure do wish the Russian hockey players weren’t from Russia. I completely support Russia not being in this tournament, but it would be nice to see their talent.

 

[JellyRamp]

Sweden looks... bad.

thats for sure

 

[ORRFForever]

It's funny how posters at HF kept saying, "Sweden's NOT that good" but pros like Buttons kept saying they were great.

Tonight the former was spot on.

I don't know what you saw in them in the first.

Sometimes HF is a little smarter than we give ourselves credit for. Sometimes.

Sometimes.

 

[Mooche]

The US is absolutely skating circles around Sweden right now.

 

[ORRFForever]

I don't know what you saw in them in the first.

5 on 5, in the first, I thought Sweden played really well. This period they've been awful.

Credit to the Americans for playing great.

 

[JellyRamp]

nasty but clean hit

 

[Canada4Gold]

Based on what I've seen so far in the tournament that's going to be 5. It should only be 2

 

[ORRFForever]

2

 

[Canada4Gold]

This can't review a 2 but can review is 5 is so dumb though. You start calling 5's just to get the review. What happens when the equipment fails? Now you have to stick with your 5 call despite only calling it so you could review it.

Make any penalty reviewable. Call it what you think it should be. Review it if you think it could be 5.

Sometimes HF is a little smarter than we give ourselves credit for. Sometimes.

Sometimes.

Or Button is dumber

 

[Zerotonine]

Honestly man, you’re complaining about Officiating in almost every GDT.

Here’s a GIF for you to use going forward….

Let me guess that's not a penalty either

International reffing has always been atrocious

 

[Summer Rose]

I think that should only be 2, but it's IIHF officiating, so who knows.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Sweden has some great players. But, they haven’t been great all tournament so far. No chemistry, undisciplined, and just sloppy.

 

[JellyRamp]

meh, i dont agree with that call

 

[Canada4Gold]

It's only 2. So when USA fails to score for the first 1:02 this penalty is likely to be less successful than other minors because it splits 2 periods

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I think it’ll be 5. Good recovery by Faber but at this tournament, I think they’ll give him 5.
