GDT: Group A • Dec. 28 • Sweden 4, Switzerland 3 (SO)

They're starting Anton Forsberg?! I would have preferred him against Slovakia to be honest, not at all convinced by him.

Why not? Had a 25 save or so shutout against Denmark in the pre-tournament. His confidence level should be pretty high.

 

[wwvdw]

Why not? Because even if he had a good game against Denmark it doesn't mean he'll have one today. If we look at his performances this season I'm not at all convinced and therefore I would play him in the lowest risk match which for me is Slovakia.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Larsson is playing, Johan Gustafsson in net.

 

[Canada4Gold]

The Swiss looked really good against Russia. Sweden were ok, pretty much as expected really. They took too manay penalties though, if they do that today the Swiss will keep it close. I have a feeling they will give Sweden a scare today. 6-5 Sweden in a shootout

 

[Lugaid]

I don't expect this to be a blowout, the Swiss have a good team, and Sweden usually doesn't play their best early on in a tournament. 4-2 Sweden I say.

 

[wwvdw]

Larsson is playing, Johan Gustafsson in net.

Good news x 2!

Lets hope they were extra extra careful with Larsson, no need in risking him today.

 

[Manny*]

Another two goals from Zibanejad? Yes please.

 

[Prntscrn]

Will start 23:20 on SVTPlay

Whats wrong with Anton Forsberg?

Could you see him doing better in the future?

 

[SashaMesic]

Tough one, but my bet is 6-3 Sweden.

As someone mentioned earlier on, would be sweet if our first line could play a whole game together and start gel.

And please, no penalty bonanza in this game!

He hasn't been doing great in Modo this year, but still got lots of potential.

Juniors and mens, different animals. See Friberg.

 

[torero]

Meili in net ?

i wasn't impressed by Wolf so it is welcome.

 

[jonas2244]

Meili in goal for Switzerland. No surprise, coach probably wants to check who is better for the key-games vs LAT and SVK.

 

[vippe]

Gotta say I've been impressed with Rakell from what I've seen. He's got some skills and has come a long way since last year

 

[jonas2244]

What an ugly call, seems that the refs needed some actions.

 

[Kiefer]

Good game so far.

Friberg!!

 

[quentez]

Bärtschi injured?

 

[QnebO]

Stream?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Friberg needs to stop scoring

 

[SurMartin]

Gotta say I've been impressed with Rakell from what I've seen. He's got some skills and has come a long way since last year

Agreed. IMO Best player against Canada and one of the best against Latvia.
Also wasn't completely sold on Brodin from what I've seen of him in SEL but that has changed now.

FRIBERG!!

 

[KRM]

Friberg! 5 goals!

 

[BobDobolina]

Friberg with his 5th of the tournament.

 

[vippe]

nice shot

 

[13 others]

Wow Ducks look like they have steal I didn't know he was a 5th rounder.
