WJC: U20 WJC Semifinal game thread Sweden vs Finland

[JackSlater]

Finland forcing Sweden to take some initiative offensively... maybe.

 

[ORRFForever]

Offside?

 

[SoundAndFury]

There is no way he needed to go down like he did.

You sound like you haven't skated before. One thing I hate more than diving is people who see diving everywhere. If you get knocked off balance while skating at high speed falling humbly might not be a priority.

 

[Ginger Papa]

You might find enjoyment tough to come by.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

You're right. My bad. Thanks for the correction. Now I feel silly.

Anyway, I do think he is getting better.

I gave you the "trolling" opportunity, and you passed. No sympathy!

 

[ORRFForever]

If Sweden had scored, I am pretty sure they were offside. Moot point now.

I gave you the "trolling" opportunity, and you passed. No sympathy!

LOL. I am "nun 2 brite" so forgive me.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

I'm stickin with no goal.

...hoping you're wrong, just to keep the "Dead Puck Game" going...

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

The pass versus shoot decision making is poor here.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

LOL. I am "nun 2 brite" so forgive me.

He may have been off balance but I suspect embellishment.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Wau !!!! killed 5on3 for 1½ minutes thats Bad Karma for Sweden

 

[JackSlater]

Sweden looks like it has never practiced a 5 on 3.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

5 on 3, why would you not put Lekkerimaki on? (arguably your best shooting threat)

Grans & the other guy don't seem like big shooters.

 

[Jussi]

Top notch penaltykill.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...I'm starting to think that Sweden would have finished 5th in Pool A this year...

 

[ORRFForever]

Sweden is just... impotent. I expected more.

 

[Chainshot]

How much of Dave Cameron's valium is in the Swedes water bottles?

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Sweden looks like it has never practiced a 5 on 3.

Terrible personnel choices by the coaching staff. But that’s Monten for ya.

 

[ORRFForever]

After 2, Finland is the better team but Sweden has managed to keep it close so...

How much of Dave Cameron's valium is in the Swedes water bottles?

Ha, ha. Poor Dave Cameron.

 

[Statsy]

I only predicted 5 goals in this game and now that seems WAY high!

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Sweden very impressive in protecting the 1-goal deficit.

 

[ORRFForever]

When the tournament is over, I will miss the Generac commercial.

 

[melinko]

Is this Sweden team loaded with young players?

They look like a lower division all-star team playing against the top division.

 

[ORRFForever]

I only predicted 5 goals in this game and now that seems WAY high!

I wonder what the Over/Under was?

This is why I never bet.
