Nah, svt always produces high quality shows and broadcasts. Unfortunately they don't have the same kind of budget as the commercial networks do.

Yup. Full five minutes of pre and post game talk.

SVT just doesn't prioritize sport.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Persson and Hedman were terrible.

I don't agree with that statement. SVT certainly prioritise sports and they put a great big chunk out of their budget on securing broadcast rights and creating sports productions, the issue is that because they are a public broadcaster they have to cover everything.

Persson and Hedman were terrible.

Hedman made 1 bad play this game. I thought he looked great otherwise.

 

[Judrix]

how did Kruger and Stalberg do?

 

[Skellhell]

Persson, Olausson, Fernholm, and S. Kronwall are so ******* useless. It's a ******* disgrace to let them put on the blue and yellow jersey. What the **** was MÃ¥rts thinking?

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't S. Kronwall pretty bad last WC too? Him and Petrasek together...

It looks like Howard was perfect in net (25/25). That's good news leading into the tourney if he's sharp.

Sweden did have 43 shots on goal, but most of them were from the outside. He didn't have a chance on either of the goals.

From what I understand that was Bachman. He basically played half the game in relief.

I never noticed. Well, he looked good too then.

 

[HanSolo]

Hahaha came to this thread to see how the Americans did. I don't even know if Palmieri played. If he did, how did he look?

And how did Fowler look overall? Like in both zones?

 

[Harikkerk]

Howard did good in the goal, or was it just Sweden failing totally with those shots?

 

[novon04]

how did Kruger and Stalberg do?

Kruger wasn't that good. Stålberg played well.

 

[Tomas W]

sweden have a great team in the paper. but the transitions are not so good in the moment. in three days you have to be better than that.

In three days we will have better players, so yes there is still hope that we win a game.

 

[Tomas W]

Persson and Hedman were terrible.

I only watched the second half of the game, but I thought Hedman played well.

 

[JackHughes86]

dang i missed it i forgot it was on this morning

Anyone?

 

[AmericanDream]

Anyone?

Kyle didnt play today....I dont think he was with the team yet, but I could be wrong..

Fowler was okay, really didnt notice him much to be honest

Don't get it. He lost all the flash in his game. Probably in some effort to be a more responsible player.
It's been the same issue in Anaheim. He plays it way too safe now.

 

[Hybbe]

Hedman catching a lot of undeserved flak. I think he did a lot better than some of the other defensemen on the team. Looking forward to seeing some of those guys getting booted in favor of better guys like N.Kronwall.

Well, I don't mind them taking on the handball stuff, SM-veckan or whatever obscure event they can get for free. But don't let that fool you when it comes to securing other broadcasting rights they choose to cheap out on. Cheaping out on the Olympics is not prioritizing sports, imo, no matter how big of a price tag. Either way, I rather pay for something given to me with quality than watch quantity like their hockey broadcasts. It becomes even more apparent when Viasat and SVT have rights to the same tournament.

Hedman is already the scapegoat for some people.
