GDT: Group A • Dec. 30 • Sweden 9, Slovakia 1

[Minister of Offence]

I find it very annoying how Zibanejad can flash such incredible explosiveness and yet do so little for large portions of games. Is he injured, unconfident, or is it an issue with his hockey IQ/work ethic?

Compare him to other 18 year olds in the tournament and what do you see.

Lots of the same. Except when Mika flashes skills, it's very high end.

Swedish female reporter after the slovak goal, asking goal keeper Henrik Karlsson (of Calgary) for a comment: "Hur känns det att få ett mål sådär PANG i röven?"
(How does it feel to let in a goal like that, WHAM-BAM, right up the a*s?)

Not quite politically correct use of language on television....

Someone needs to give her ett mål PANG i röven (not me)

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Friberg with another one? Awesome pass by Larsson.

 

[Kamzik]

The Dano line really struggled that shift. I think Dano might just be too young for this tournament.

Going to have to get a Friberg avy going when I get home.

Maybe not in the US, but come on. Are you really from Sweden?

For all the complaints people have about Renberg, I must say I'd much rather listen to him than Challe Berglund.
Charles should stick to horse racing or whatever he was doing before.
Also, Lehmann > Hallman on the mic and it's not even close.
Ans why the hell are Jihde and Thornberg calling Juniorkronorna "Småkronorna"?
This isn't the U18 WC, is it?

Like Niklas Holmgren, though.
"Titta här! Titta där!"

It sure was funny. Didnt your hear the commentators giggling right afterwards. "Thank you, Marie, hehehe"

 

[Dempsey]

Backman seems to be pretty good at moving the puck up the ice with some crisp passes.

Charles was great in Timrå, 3 years and 3 playoffs. As a timråfan i really like him But WJC should be with härenstam and wikegård.

If Challe Berglund is the one commenting this game, the I totally agree. The way he gets overexcited at the Swedish goals in a game like this is irritating to say the least.

Bad first period from Zibanejad. Colour me disappointed.

I think they laughed at her, asking the same questions 3 times. Något om "hur gör man för att rycka upp sig efter att man släppt in ett sånt här mål" HAn som blev intervjuad svarade så gott han kunde men fick ändå samma fråga flera gånger "ALLTSÅ HUR GÖR MAN".

Förstår hur som helst inte hur hon kan fått jobb där.

Swedish media doesn't know the difference between juniorkronorna and småkronorna. Aftonbladet, Expressen, SVD, etc. all make the same mistake.

Aside from the goals he's scored, that's exactly how he has played for most of the season.
