WC SF: MAY 8 GDT - USA vs. SWEDEN (2-3)

[incawg]

Than we can pretty much be 100% sure US will win. there is ALWAYS a bias on an American/Canadian Ref at worlds have been for the last 30 years and it still holds true.

Right, just like there is ALWAYS a bias for European teams from European refs.

Give me a break. North American and European refs may have different styles of calling the game, but anyone who actually believes that there is a bias is crazy.

It sure makes quite a convenient excuse should your team lose though.

3-2 USA, Drury with the GWG.

BTW, what did Drury do to get all the PIM's (25)?

There is a connection limit, so if you wish to view the entire game a tip is not to disconnect during the intermissions, as you may not be able to connect again

 

[SergeiK]

Cool. Also north-american referee in this game. Nicolas Dutil. Hope that he can produce for USA like Rick Looker did for Canada.


Concentrate on getting the vote counters, not the votes.

1-0 Sweden after 18 seconds!, Dick Tärnström

this guy ist the weakest hockey comentatore in the whole world. i hope for you, that you don´t understand what he is saying...

Why the devil did US put Dunham in goal?

 

[Predatore]

hehe, luckily I'm watching the game here in Sweden. But our commentator, Ã…ke Unger, is not very good either

 

[The Austrian]

Why the devil did US put Dunham in goal?

that was my first question also ...

 

[Predatore]

Why the devil did US put Dunham in goal?

Well, he was great against Sweden in the group stage. I imagine that's why, although I would have personally still selected Conklin

but this guy, doesn´t have any idea of hockey.. *gg* he doesn´t know the rules etc.. my english is not so good, that i can translate what he is saying, most of the time...

but a short example form the first half final: team slowakia holds the puck and this guy said: "Here come the Tschech"

lol, yes I read that earlier

 

[Predatore]

Forsberg has been great so far. Already delivered a couple of really nice passes. Sweden is dominating heavily.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I guess Laviolette was playing a hunch. Doesn't look so good right now, although it's early.

 

[The Austrian]

lol, yes I read that earlier

or another classic from this guy:

"after the out of russia and tschech rep. the way for a SUPRISE WORLD CHAMP is free...." :lol :lol

and he also calls the puck continuously ball !!!

 

[guinness]

and he also calls the puck continuously ball !!!

all your base are belong to us

I'm going to have to get out of this thread now, with the silly tape delay, game doesn't come on until 6 pm here.

 

[Predatore]

2-0 Sweden, Jonas Höglund on the PP, assist by Nylander.

 

[William H Bonney]

Man, those refs sure are killing Sweden so far.....

 

[Predatore]

End of first period.
Sweden has pretty much outplayed USA, but then again they have been shorthanded half the period basically. Dunham has made a couple of nice saves and the posts have saved him at 2 occasions as well.

 

[SChan*]

alittle worrying that sweden got so many penalties in 1st period. Now the americans will get 2-3 pp in a row. It usally work that way.

 

[Predatore]

Richard Park with a backhand!, 1-2

 

[Klown]

That helmet rule is a big joke.
