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

Poor coaching, plaguing Team Sweden at all levels...

 

[Ezekial]

Correct call.

 

[ORRFForever]

Could Latvia have a chance against Sweden?

 

[VictorLustig]

Sees him coming, looks down and turns his back against.

Deserved a harder hit.

 

[Summer Rose]

I agree with the 2. Not a great hit, but a major penalty for that would be too extreme a call.

 

[JellyRamp]

man i love me some alien tape right now

About the only positive Sweden can take so far is that the offensive opportunities for the U.S has turned a little light this last half period.

I eagerly await the arrival of mine.

That's a very good question.

 

[JellyRamp]

great song

 

[Summer Rose]

I remember that song from high school.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

USA needs to fully take control of this game. They are sort of matching Sweden’s energy. If it wasn’t for that bad goal, this would only be a one goal game.

 

[ORRFForever]

Have the Americans been losing at any point in this tournament?

 

[Summer Rose]

Floor Police!

 

[JellyRamp]

Have the Americans been losing at any point in this tournament?

i doubt it

 

[ORRFForever]

That's a very good question.

Canada needs to win tomorrow night. If we do, I like our path to Gold.

 

[JellyRamp]

for how terrible theyve been offensively, props to sweden for keeping it this close

 

[ORRFForever]

i doubt it

I doubt it too. Canada was down a goal at one point but I don't think the Americans have been.

Knies reminds me of Dylan Holloway. Guys that you need to watch to see how much they impact the game all over the ice.

Both forecheck like crazy and it’s noticeable at this level how much a heavy forecheck can impact the game.

 

[Mikeshane]

Sweden need to take some risks in the 3rd to try and get some more chances. They have Wallstedt back there to try and save their bacon if the Americans get a couple rush chances.

They have nothing to lose at this point so, yeah, take some chances and get pucks ON net.

Team USA is working too hard and making perfect decisions under pressure. The Swedes are executing with the puck when they have it but the Americans are suffocating them immediately. It’s not necessarily an issue of skill IMO, but the Swedes probably need a flukey goal to make this a game. Edvinsson and Andrae need to step up. That defense is having issues breaking out.

No one is a better advocate for a heavy forecheck then you snipes, and i'm certainly in agreement.
