GDT: USA vs. Sweden | January 5th, Final; 1:30 PM EST, 7:30 PM Local

Sweden has missed the net so many times

Sometimes it is trying to be too fine on a goalie - Augustine has been very good, they may be trying to shoot to specific spots based on pre-scout. Seems like they are trying hard to go high and are killing the glass.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Not a good turnover but the problem there is the goaltending, a deflection should never go through the goaltender from that angle.

That’s a bad take.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

No that’s on the defender for not tying up the stick. A goalie can’t save that shot other then getting lucky and it hits him

Hard to tie up a stick to the outside when you are trying to keep leverage to the inside. Near impossible really.

 

[Pi]

The US have nothing on ES so far. If they don't get a PP or two, it's going to take an unbelievable effort from Augustine to win this.

 

[karhukissa]

C'mon Sverige, take the gold!

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Sweden dominated the first US lucky its only 1-1

 

[NyQuil]

Hard to tie up a stick to the outside when you are trying to keep leverage to the inside. Near impossible really.

If I were to take a wild stab in the dark without visiting hockeydb, I’ll wager that Casey was drafted by the Devils.

 

[OKR]

Will Smith needs to work on his breakaways, exact same move as against Finland, exact same outcome.

 

[LaMasquerade]

USA leads!

 

[theslatcher]

Rudslätt on the ice... And goal against.

Yeah, except for all the breakaways.

 

[Killahpunk]

Nice goal to give US the lead.

 

[Kryten]

Was that Myers or Willander

It makes it tougher but it’s really not physically difficult though, it’s just not emphasized enough imo.

Tying up the stick even if the player foesnt have great body position is super important

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

We call that opportunistic?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Howard wow!!!

 

[TLEH]

Willander napping.

 

[Realgud]

I might have cursed Willander...

 

[Master P]

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What a pass

 

[kingsholygrail]

lol My stream is so far behind.

 

[c9gunner]

wow. what a goal

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

If I were to take a wild stab in the dark without visiting hockeydb, I’ll wager that Casey was drafted by the Devils.

Casey wasn’t the guy in front, he made the bad turnover…

 

[Mickey Marner]

Great stretch pass

Anyone know of fancy stats websites that are tracking this game? None of my usuals seem to have anything. Want to see some xG data
