GDT: WJC Bronze Medal Game: Sweden vs. USA

[vippe]

Swedens ability to clear the zone has been below par the entire tournament - it happened against czech the last minutes yesterday and it happened again now. Anti clutch.

Sweden is asking for a review. But that is a good goal for USA.

The defensive deficiencies are probably the easiest fix. Size, offensive talent, cannon shot, and next level skating are much harder to teach than basic coverage.

In any case, they'll probably let him just go and be an offence first guy like his brother, and give him a more defensive partner to offset him. Not a big issue in my books.

The defensive deficiencies are there, but they've also been massively overblown in this tournament. He'll need to be more physical at the NHL level and way less riverboat gambler. And there have been a few glaring screw-ups to be sure, but most of the detractors mention how often he controls ice purely by how drives offense. No other defender has even come close to creating the way he has. He could easily have double the points in this tourny, but over a six-game sample pucks go in or they don't.

That’s a good goal, not worth the 2 minute minor to challenge

 

[Ginger Papa]

They’re amateur teenagers so that’s actually ok.

Completely agree my HF Devils Sister.

It‘s one of my favourite aspects of this tourney. Lots of chances to show skill as a result of many mistakes.


Edit:
I was hoping for no controversy, but that was naive thinking.

I think the dman swiped it off his own goalie and back and in

They have a hard time just going d-to-d without any pressure without turning it over. It's their biggest weakness.

Wait... No penalty on the failed challenge?

I think the refs reviewed it on their own
