GDT: WJC: Sweden - Austria

[Abraham de Lacy]

Austria beat Germany in their Pre-Tournament game - So i'm not 100% convinced, yet.

Pre-tournament games are rarely a good indicator of status.

Liked the 4th line Robertsson-Oscarsson-Pettersson

Hard to really evaluate the forwards based on this game. Austria were truly horrible for 50 minutes. But I hope this gives them some well needed confidence.

Lysell without a point lol

When I have had suspicions on how competitive this Germany team would be - it reinforces those concerns.

 

[Taswell]

How'd Odelius look?

 

[EK47]

Lysell without a point lol

I don’t even know how that is possible.

How'd Odelius look?

Couldn’t really say. The blowout makes it hard. Scored a nice goal though.

 

[McCullogh]

Yeah, this game was not really the best to comment individual preformances on. But I do think Rosén and Robertsson looked really good today.

 

[montreal]

Lots of Leo Carlsson in the vid.

 

[VictorLustig]

Lysell without a point lol

I thought he looked terrible.

 

[Number 57]

Best name pronounciation in the tournament? Isak Roseanne

 

[EK47]

Lots of Leo Carlsson in the vid.

Engström kinda reminds me of Niklas Hjalmarsson.

Not totally sure how you measure it, but Lysell had the Austrian D on their heels pretty much every shift.

I thought Sweden played a terrific game, never mind that it was Austria. (Austria did present some gifts.. Scherzer turnover for goal one, needless icing for goal 2 and then the extra fun shorty where the goalkeeper and defender were not on the same page in anyway). Their passing and shooting was precise...Their reaction to defense was unreal.. Every time it looked like the Austrian's might have a sniff of a breakout, there were 4 Swedes in the picture, always outnumbering the Austrians. Specials excellent on both sides.

I guess we will see if they can play another perfect game Tuesday.
