[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Wasn't there a serial killer called the "IceMan"
Think there us a movie about him on Net Flicks.
Kind of like Dave Manson having the nick- name "Charlie"
Not exactly great handles.

Yes, he used ice picks to kill people I believe.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Haha, my comment was mostly tongue in cheek after all the US whining in the fin game.

How ironic that you specifically were crying.

No whining from me bud

Wtf haha

 

[TLEH]

They missed the high stick but made up for it on a play that has already happened 20 times today.

 

[sadpanda]

There was also a kick-ass F-14 Tomcat pilot.

And a legendary mma fighter

Let’s go sweden. Don’t lose to theese Canada-wannabes

They're kinda the same shit populated by Macf***s...

 

[WarriorofTime]

Hopefully Seamus Casey can redeem himself in the third.

 

[matsqq]

So far I actually think Sweden has been playing better, they have had way more chances - but they just can't score - the most important part of the game ...

Paul Rudd over here on NHLNetwork. Guys a total nerd lol

 

[Whileee]

Sallomonsson and ASP just aint my cup of tea as a pairing

I just hate the chemistry on that pairing

been that way for a majority of the tournament.

Agree. Salomonsson ends up watching ASP do his own thing and backs him up, foregoing his own potential to use his skating to jump into the play. ASP is a bit chaotic defensively, too.

 

[EK47]

There’s a whole period left lol that’s all it takes for you to give up?

I’m partial to drama

 

[Sweetnut]

So are the fine people from Canada rooting for Sweden?

 

[Fossy21]

Don't know why the Swedish announcers are talking about blindside hits since I can't find anything in the rulebook saying that's not allowed. Pretty sure the McGroarty hit is just a big legal hit. Can't put yourself in that vulnerable a position going toward the slot.

Blindside hits count as Charging according to Hockey Canada's ruleset ("v. Delivers a body check to an opponent’s blind side"). IIHF is typically very strict on careless hits, but a quick google search doesn't turn up anything.

I just like to see a good hockey game.

I don’t think anyone else than americans root for them

Only the finest of them root for Sweden.

Nope cheering for bysted, havelid, Smith, pohlkamp to have 8 point nights and then the tournament to be cancelled with no winner.

 

[EK47]

Disagree. Bad read by Willander on the goal but ASP and Salomonsson have been terrible.

Lindstein had quite a few poor passes in the first period. Agree on ASP atleast in the d zone.

Also Östlund plays Amazing hockey creates great chances and proceeds to miss the net with a meter and a half.

Some people cheering against Sweden rather than for USA. The lamest people, we call them.

 

[EveryDay]

19 min on the ice so far for Hutson after 2 period.

 

[EK47]

I would imagine Lekkerimäki scores 30 next year.

If he can stay healthy he could hit that in the SHL this season with a bit of luck and a hot streak.

 

[SI90]

Let’s go boys. Win the 3rd win the gold!!

 

[Krigsgaldr]

Yes, he used ice picks to kill people I believe.

Worse he’d freeze the bodies so time of death was harder to determine

 

[Barrie22]

4-2
