WC: May 4 GDT - Sweden vs. Finland

[wassup77]

I love that him and Z are Wings. First we had the Russians (Fedorov, Larionov, Kozlov, Fetisov, Konstantinov) now we are hoarding Swedes (Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Kronwall, Liv? eh).

Yeah I also fell for the Wings at the Russians time with Fedorov and the boys. But when Fedorov left Z came to entertain me

Oh my god, 6 minutes into the game and I'm missing all this action! Keep the updates coming! Thanks

Yes, PLEASE tell as much as possible!

yeah, you're right, they seem to hoard specific groups, like right now they hoard all the 35 and over NHLers.

LOL not to take this too OT but I believe when the league resumes we'll only have 2 or 3. Lidstrom, Shanny, and hopefully Stevie.

Go Sweden!!

Anaheim have been hoarding alot of swedish role players, but none except PÃ¥hlsson seem to be good enough for the NHL. Although I think they've got a winner with Holmqvist.

Let's see who they've tried

Melin, Mårtensson, Holmqvist, Hedström, Påhlsson, etc.

 

[Jussi]

no he didn't.

Ye he did. Atleast that's what it says on IIHF site.

 

[Jussi]

That was crosschecking?!! Bollocks!

 

[Kain]

Yes, PLEASE tell as much as possible!

At least someone shares my pain What's happening? A penalty for Finland? Who got it?

[wassup77]

2 bad penalties wich both went to Finland. Whats up with the bad referees in this tournament?

 

[mattihp]

Referee: BULANOV Vyacheslav RUS Linesmen:LASCHOWSKI Dean, CAN OSKIRKO Yuriy RUS

 

[wassup77]

Another goal by the Sedin line. Assist by Daniel Sedin goal by Sundin. PP goal.

 

[Jussi]

Really stupid penalty by Kapanen. I think that was it for this game.

 

[mattihp]

annoying >_< IIHF shows it as Riku Hahl scoring a goal assisted by Olli Jokinen

That thing is sooo excruciating! It's like not having tickets to a movie and having to wait outside while someone says "24 mins: Stallone, Sylvester punches someone; 43 mins: Stallone, Sylvester and Zeta-Jones, Catherine have sex (shower)."

Incidentally, the IIHF seem to have a cristal ball: their live updater says that Riku Hahl just scored the Game Winning Goal!

 

[Kain]

for sweden >_< IIHF is wrong

Yeah, they just corrected it. It got my hopes up at first, though More penalties in this game so far...

 

[007]

Oops! The IIHF have rigged the game the other way, now! They fixed it: Ronnie Sundin has just scored the Game Winner.

 

[Riddarn]

Wow, that was a bad first period if I've ever seen one. The swedes didn't skate at all and they played sloppy all over the ice. I hope they start skating in the next period.

 

[mattihp]

They always put the game winner at the latest scorer during the game...

Finland seems to be shooting more now, any quality shots?

BTW... Does anyone else miss "Raivo" Summanen?

I sure do

 

[Levitate]

how have the goalies looked?

It was fun to watch though

 

[Riddarn]

Both pretty shaky, but considering that their defenses are even shakier I'd say that's pretty normal.
