PGT: WJC Quarter Finals: Game 22 | Switzerland Eliminate Sweden 2-0

[SabresSharks]

The players must hate this ...

Hey, you just lost in a major upset. Here's your best player awards. The expressions say it all.

 

[CLW]

Passive, bad passing, losing puck, slow, falling down, and last bad coach!
Absolute no excuses for the flu!

FIASKO!!!!

Sweden caught the Finnish tournament flu...!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Are they really going to award 3 Swedish players....

"The goalie, the bus driver and the guy sharping skates."

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

No upsets in Canada v. Finland please.

I’m talking about my slovaks over Russia lol. I think Canada Finland is a little more of a fair contest. Don’t think an upset is in store there

 

[aphyro]

Well gratz to Switzerland! and to everyone laughing at me in the Swedish roster thread i told you so.

Hoe does eggenberger go undrafted

His last year was really bad, also last WJC he didn't really show up. But I can imagine he'll get a late draft next year.

 

[Rob]

Looks like a Swedish player got a game misconduct for breaking his stick at the end of the game? Kind of a pointless penalty for the ref to give out.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Finland/ Canada has an easy path now to GOLD.

I'm sure the Swedes thought they had an easy road to the semifinals.

A loser like Grönborg got promoted to senior team coach despite losing with some absolutely fantastic u20 rosters. Coaching of the national teams is a ****ing joke.

Makes it feel like it's a boys club. I'd keep Rönnmark but throw away everybody else. Literally the only one of them with critical thinking and doesn't have favorites like Ginning who has been shit this tournament.

 

[behemolari]

heja svärje!

the OHL saved him

 

[VictorLustig]

That was well deserved. Congrats Switzerland!

Oh and Sweden: avgå, alla! Especially you Montén.

Never going to happen. Montén will be back next year, and the year after that, and.........

 

[King 88]

Yikes!

Swedish hockey federation picking their next national coach. And when they utterly fail, they are promoted. Just like politics:

Never going to happen. Montén will be back next year, and the year after that, and.........

And in 30 years he will be move arround by Hemtjänsten, who have to repeat everything that is said through a microphone to his hearing machine, while he asks in which universe he is existing.

Setting up your defense in the neutral zone is much better than an offensive zone faceoff.

The face off was in the neutral zone wasn't it ? If it was in the offensive zone than yeah I agree, I would probably rather he not touched the puck. Still, there's not many goal that are scored directly off face off, it's not that big of a deal.

 

[Anichels]

Someone should hire the Swiss coach. Looks like a gamer.

Definitely keeps people accountable.

 

[ORRFForever]

Finland/ Canada has an easy path now to GOLD.

They've had easy paths before and blown it. Let's hope Canada performs to their ability.

 

[Michoulicious]

First win of the tournament, when it matters

Well done!

 

[mike dad bab clock]

Be sure to duck when Sweden loses

 

[aphyro]

Lel Monténs mindeset before the game was so typical Swedish tho

 

[CupInSIX]

Last time I checked an 18 year old was a grown up.

If you're over twice their age and you're screaming at them, they're a boy. But at the same time, you're not a man.

That's one to grow on.

 

[SabresSharks]

I've been claiming this wouldn't be an historic upset, and it's not really. I'm still shocked though. Full marks to the Swiss.

Swedes just couldn't get untracked. Still a hell of a hockey nation.

 

[Lampedampe]

A loser like Grönborg got promoted to senior team coach despite losing with some absolutely fantastic u20 rosters. Coaching of the national teams is a ****ing joke.

Both Grönborg and Monten are too passive to coach a junior team in a tournament like this. It works in games when they're in control but not in games like this.

Rönnberg come back please.

 

[ORRFForever]

There is usually 1 upset in the quarters. This was it. Will there be more?

 

[VictorLustig]

"The goalie, the bus driver and the guy sharping skates."

Not even the bald guy sharpening their skates deserved an award after this game.
