These 2 teams doesn't belong in the final, they don't know how to defend at all.

 

[MoDoJoel]

Got smoked by the Canadians

We don't talk about the Canadians

 

[karhukissa]

Outsisued the Finns
(almost) outcontroled the Czech
Time to outshoot the Americans

You crossed the line there. Sweden's going to win this game probably though, Americans are melting.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Crazy period.

Oh please, both teams have shown they can defend just fine in previous games... This is the only way to keep a third place game exciting... Who the hell cares about defence here?

 

[McCullogh]

Guess no team really cares about the outcome of this game so its a bit lackluster. Scary to think that Leo Carlsson is just some days (5) from being able to take part in two more tournaments.

 

[Chainshot]

Öhgren and Östlund are creating chances in every game, but they can't seem to finish

Better to be creating them than not. Paid off late in that period.

Ya it is
Crazy to think Stutzle, still qualifies for this tournament.

 

[ORRFForever]

Completely agree.

That first one is awful.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Why are both teams playing with their goalies pulled?

 

[Chainshot]

Thought he was a 2002 and is too old for this.

 

[Gurglesons]

delete.

 

[Chainshot]

Augustine's been relieved. Huh.

 

[1989]

Augustine's been relieved. Huh.

This is definitely the make-or-break coaching decision.
Can't be good for Augustine's mentality going forward for Team USA though. He's 17 so he'll likely have the net for the next two years.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out putting in a cold goalie in a medal game where your team was tied entering the third stanza.

It'll be interesting to find out if it was anything physical or just John C. McGinley's call.

Yep just checked I think your right

• the player has his 20th birthday in the year of the tournament's ending (i.e. 1994 for 2014 tournament), and at latest, the fifth year after the tournament's ending (i.e. 1999 for 2014 tournament);

Says tournament ending, thought it was tournament starting, looks like 2 weeks too old.

My GF has been following this tournament just by audio, walked in from work to hear that Tyler Boucher is injured and announced "Oh no, Bobby Boucher is injured? Sweden is the devil."

 

[Chainshot]

Ostlund, nice goal!

 

[weklof]

Better to be creating them than not. Paid off late in that period.

Of course, much prefer it to the disappearing act of Rosén.

And now they are starting to find the back of the net!

 

[TheYardMachine]

Mbereko gave a lot of space there. Awful

 

[Mickey Marner]

Comeback complete

 

[Dala]

Östlund is playing on another level mentality than most others in this game. Wow.

 

[jj cale]

Good comeback by Sweden.

 

[Bonin21]

Östlund is playing on another level mentality than most others on this game. Wow.

Well ya, many players are gonna be checked out in a third place game.
