why does everyone only mention no forsberg, sundin etc... what about no iginla, sakic, niedermayer etc.

3 of the 4 goals he gave up I would blame his defense more then him.

Because they still have, Thornton, Heatley, Nash etc.

 

[The True Blue Crew]

wow. swedes sure are playing some beautiful hockey
what happened to canada ?

 

[Predatore]

Agreed, although I think he has overall had a rather mediocre rebound control in this game. Canadian Ds look a bit tired now.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Notice the last 2 goals Lundqvist make a big save and Sweden then comes down ice and scores.

Depth.

Somebody bring out the Special ED avatars

 

[Tricolore#20]

Is Sweden going to clamp things up now? They had a fantastic period, and really wore out the Canadian defense.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Jovanovski stinks. Play Phillips more, he can't do as bad as Jovo did in that period. Souray is good at creating offensive chances for both teams. Boyle can't control his stick. The defence was horrid in that period.

 

[Vikke]

20 left! LET'S GO SWEDEN

 

[Levitate]

Wonder what sucker team traded Samuelsson...Oh right..that would be the Rangers.

yeah but he was alright...never great with the rangers, and seemed like he went downhill after going to pitts and then florida. he was always pretty weak on the puck

so lundqvist is doin pretty good? i'm surprised at how the game seems to be going

 

[Riddarn]

Neither team playing very well on defense, which is pretty fun to look at but at the same time, it kills my nerves..

 

[Everest]

Will Sweden now fall back into the trap? Perhaps Canada should have done this with the 3-1 lead! The first half of the game was stellar...but miscues have allowed Sweden to get back in the game and even take the lead .
Canada will come out very strong in the 3rd period...they were victimized by "over exuberance" but can re-gruop.

 

[Muddy Wilbury]

anybody know if this game is on the radio? (toronto area)

thanks,

[The True Blue Crew]

about time for Canada re-energize, get direction from the coach and come back with better strategy, rested legs, pumped up and feeling okay about losing the lead,

GO CANADA GO!

Canada couldn't play the trap because the defence tends to sleep.

Lundqvist made some really great saves when he was needed, yes.
Canada seemed very tired and the defense lost every battle against the swedish forwards. But some forwards lost focus too, what about Thornton on that goal, seeking revenge-hit on Kronwall.
