Women's hockey GDT: USA vs. Sweden

[txomisc]

when they first unveiled those nike uniforms i was a bit weary but thought they were ok. Now watching the u.s. women play against team sweden (who is wearing the old style) I say they look great. Sweden looks like a bunch of lumps and u.s. looks athletic. Those swedish uniforms basically (to me) look absurd next to that of the US women.

Sweden scores 2-1 USA.

And i agree txomisc, those uniforms are pretty nice now when you have gotten used to them.

 

[Crossroads*]

2-2!!

 

[Nihilism]

Go Sweden!

 

[Nihilism]

Wow, it looks like the 2002 GMG with all these American powerplays.

 

[creative giant*]

Man.. the Oilers should sign this Swedish goalie.

 

[Telecaster]

Damn without Kim in goal we would be a couple goals down by now.

 

[Nihilism]

Thought women's hockey wasn't competitve?

The American women are overrated. They had trouble with the Finns, and are having much more trouble in this one. They'll prolly win this one (I bet they'll get some more friendly calls from the ref) but will be blown out in the GMG by Canada.

This has been a great game to watch so far, but the US will win, If they put in that extra gear that is. But i really hope our ladies will upset and get the win.

Well, it's the 2nd intermission now, 2-2. Kim Martin has been playing , well, great!

USA will probably win though.

Sarah Pitiful had four open nets on the five on three. She whiffed on three and put another over the net. Darwitz said to hell with it and wound up with a big slapper after that. This all came with Sweden using about as bad a five on three strategy as you will see. Interesting game because of it all.

 

[3 goals = chili]

wow, just saw the replay of the 2nd goal....TERRIBLE GOAL given up by the US, and a great effort by Sweden.

the first goal wasn't pretty for the US either, probably should have been stopped by the goalie as it went right through the wickets....

 

[Nihilism]

the US will win

Probably, but anything can happen.

I am sure you thought "Sweden will win" during that game against Belarus a few years ago.

Good call.

 

[Nihilism]

American PP

Just let them play.

 

[Nihilism]

Wow, ANOTHER American PP. This game is becoming a joke.

 

[Melrose_Jr.]

Body-checking? Huh?

 

[Telecaster]

Body-checking? Huh?

Yes please.

 

[Telecaster]

Kim Martin is doing great so far.

 

[Freudian]

American PP

Just let them play.

Can't let those frail women be body-checked, you know.

Very impressed with this Sweden team...as much as I like the U.S. team I think Sweden going to the Gold medal final would be HUGE for women's hockey!!

I've only been watching for about 10 minutes but the US team is making some pretty poor decisions with the puck. How many times do I have to watch the puckhandler skate INTO a defender as if they can't even see them?

Swedes are looking sharp though.
