3 - 0... Eric Cole... Swedes 'D' is no where to be found..

 

[topshelf331]

Nice glove

 

[FLYLine27*]

2 on 1, nice glove save by Lundqvist. Sweden defense is taking a break.

If USA wins, and Sweden, USA and Canada both win out after this, Sweden would take first, but who would claim second? I would imagine Canada because of their head to head win, but does iihf do anything weird?

 

[f1nn]

.750 save percentage... all hail the mighty lundquist

I know it's not all his fault as the D is nowehre to be found but for those expecting him to be "the next great goalie" Ithink if he was he would still be able to do better than this

Yea, 2 breakaway goals, and a fluke goal because of his defense.

He can really do no wrong in your eyes, huh?

 

[Everest]

Sounds like The Mo.Co-Knuble line has taken over for the USA...they have been getting better as the tournament has went along.

SO is the ice slushy yet or what? Alot of guys are falling down and losing the puck.

 

[reaper]

Ice is worse when period starts than in SEL after 20 min play :E Same for both teams though.

What are you talking about, im stating facts dont like it then dont read it.

seems to me that everytime anyone has said something negative about Lundquist you always have a excuse ready... omg bad defense so what? I understand that he could have a higher GAA from that but he has made 10 saves on 13 shots, and that to me does nto demonstrate the next great elite goalie.... look at Luongo... not too good of a defense in Florida... his GAA is higher than other elite goalies... but he still has a great save percentage, and IMO that is the most important goalie stat

One of the smallest lines on record? Parise/Stastny/Gionta

wow, parise's getting some time?

hopefully suter gets a bit, before all is said and done.

i didn't say i didn't like it. i just think it's funny that any time anyone has scored against sweden, you've posted to deflect the blame on to someone else.

When does a goalie get blamed for giving up a goal on a breakaway?? It ALWAYS the defenses fault for a GA from a breakaway (unless the goalie gives up a softy on the breakaway), and the first goal his defenseman redirected to a US player to hit in the open net, that was just a bad break. I dont "deflect". How you could blame Lundqvist for those goals is beyond me. Goals he should have had I make a point and say it.

 

[Riddarn]

Lousy effort by team sweden tonight, just lousy. Embarrasing attitude by the swedes.
