WJC QF: Jan 2 GDT - Sweden vs. Finland

[Jedda]

Looks like OT...

 

[Jared Ramsden]

Sweden has to be up to 50 shots by now.....

 

[SwisshockeyAcademy]

Back to even 15 secs left.

 

[Jared Ramsden]

OT on the way.....EDIT....shots 49-21 Sweden after regulation....

 

[Predatore]

*shaking*

Jared: Do the Swedes look frustrated??

 

[TK79]

Jared: Do the Swedes look frustrated??

Very frustrated, especially salmonsson after Rask robbed his deflection and rebound.

 

[Ola]

Salmonsson left open in the crease 3 feets from the net and puts softie on the chest of rask.

Sweden is looking good, but its obvious that this team is desigened to be able to stay close against better teams, hold on to the puck ect. Not many snipers...

My bet is that we wins the shootout!

 

[Jared Ramsden]

They are a little frustrated.....Salomonsson showed it the most after his great chance.....

 

[El_Scoobo]

Well this game has had some good moments and some sort of boring moments.

However, I think its going to take an exciting turnaround here. Nothing like sudden death overtime to get the blood boiling.

p.s.--I wish someone would go tell Gord and Pierre that we all know that Rask and Pogge and that swedish defensive guy who was plus 6 are all Toronto prospects. They have told us this 10 times now. Leave it to TSN (or CBC) to bring up Toronto no matter who's playing.

Anyway, should be an exciting Overtime.

 

[Le Golie]

Allow me to eat a bit of crow. Rask looks like a different goalie than any time I've ever seen him before. He is playing a very good game and even though the Swedes have been far better, Rask is giving the Finns a chance to win. I've never seen that in him before.

I'll wait to see this consistently before I change my opinion on him, but he's shown me a lot tonight.

 

[KRM]

Greeeeat hockey night for me, Sweden not scoring and nucks are down 1-3 against the blues...

 

[Berkut]

How long is the OT?

 

[Jared Ramsden]

The longer this game goes, the more it favors Finland I think.....Pretty even OT so far....

 

[Vikke]

One 20 minute period, I suppose?

 

[TK79]

How long is the OT?

10 minutes

 

[Ola]

One 20 minute period, I suppose?

one 10 i think

 

[yarre]

Finland is going to win this in the shootout, dammit.

 

[Jared Ramsden]

Sweden hits the post....Finland on the PP.....

 

[Ola]

swe hit the post

pp fin

 

[Vikke]

Penalty on Sweden

 

[TK79]

Sweden hits the post after presurring in the offensive, and then take a tripping penalty Finland on the PP.

 

[Jedda]

****! Ryno hits the post and then a stupid penalty for Sweden in the offensive zone... Argh!

 

[Mr. Penguin]

That was a penalty??? *****!

I hope Sweden doesn't lose because of that crappy call...
