GDT: Exhibition: Sweden 2, United States 3 | May 1

[Petey21]

Sweden has five straight losses (two vs Switzerland, and then vs Finland, Czechs and Russia in the last EHT tournament a few days ago), even though the roster has been somewhat different in those games.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Is this going to be on TV in the states?

 

[AmericanDream]

4-2 USA...

this will be a great starting point for this team

 

[Systemfel]

Howard and Fasth are the starting netminders.

Very talented little girl singing the anthems.

Very talented little girl singing the anthems.

Agreed! Hats off to her

 

[Lugaid]

As a Detroit-fan, this just feels weird. I'm rooting against Howard and Abdelkader, and I'm rooting for the Blackhawks-gang!

 

[Harks]

Ugh... really hate the angle in Lakerol Arena.

 

[Lugaid]

What a great pass/effort. Very poor defensive effort though.

 

[steltefis]

1-0 USA, goal by Slater. Okposo with the assist

18:00 left in the 1st period

Wow, that was quick. I guess Jim Slater in the second line center then.

 

[leksig]

Nice to see so many people shown up for this game!

 

[joe89]

Well at least it's starting to look like something that can compete.

 

[Finnpin]

Somebody follow Lasch...interesting see how he will deliver his FEL success to that level.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Wow, that was quick. I guess Jim Slater in the second line center then.

Slater has been pigeon-holed as a 3rd/4th liner at the NHL level, but he is a first round draft pick who put up very good number in college. He can finish when need be. Interesting that the U.S. is stacking its top line. The rest of the lines look balanced to me-although not a lot of "name" scorers.

 

[joe89]

His name is FOWLER not FOOLER, Staffan.

 

[Dosing]

fernholm lite överspelad

 

[Systemfel]

Wow, the SEL defensemen are looking like 12-year-olds out there. U.S. forecheck is eating them up.

 

[hallonskal]

His namn is FOWLER not FOOLER, Staffan.

Seems like he listen to you, he actually said Fowler now.

edit: The line with Eriksson-Olausson-Fasth is looking really good, always something happening around them when they're on the ice.

 

[leksig]

The only thing Renberg is talking about is what everybody does wrong...

 

[Freudian]

Liking the way Larsson and Silfverberg are playing.

 

[WayneBruce]

Silfverberg is just dominating

 

[melinko]

From someone who doesn't know much about the SWE team, #5 Fernholm looks out of place.

I don't know if its because hes big and easy to notice though.
