GDT: Group S • May 5 • Sweden 4, Czech Republic 1

[BaileyMacTavish]

Quite the crowd here. Seems pretty full to me.

 

[Freudian]

Zetterberg and Eriksson are by far the best players for Sweden this far in the tournament.

 

[gretskidoo]

Fasth is steaming ****. Shouldn't play any more games.

I gotta say that I really like the banter between Wikegård and Jihde

I know most of you don't like them though, but I think they're great

Wikegård is the only sane person in media/commentators in Sweden. Jihde... I don't like him.

 

[Dosing]

Fasth is not a big game goalie, atleast enroth is used to big crownds from the nhl with a little more frequent pressure

 

[RedLeader]

We really need Patrik Berglund and Steen, together with alfredsson would make a much improved second line.

 

[luffis]

Agreed, Berglund and Steen would be great additions.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

yep, big upgrade over kruger and stålberg.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Goal under review
Is it 3-1? Looked like it should count to me

 

[luffis]

Krüger has played better than Stålberg so far though and deserves a spot.

edit: well earned goal by Lundquist.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Deleted

Lundqvist.

 

[Alicat]

Review?

Good goal.

 

[Paatos]

Good goal

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Brodin may have just gotten secondary assist. Larsson's linemate went to net and redirected a point shot.

Larsson got the secondary

 

[Pentothal]

Great to see Lundqvist get a goal. Very good game from him today.

 

[Acetylene]

Stålberg frustrates me, zero hockey sense...

 

[Pentothal]

Credit where it's due. The crowd really woke up even if it's not full. 10 k something in attendance.

Wouldn't ***** about it from my living room armchair.

 

[zorz]

it's crazy how much difference the changes in Swedish lineup since EHT did. At least the score doesn't look that bad with that goal given by Fasth, that man has class

 

[joe89]

Nice to see the fourth line get some production. Well deserved.

Yeah. Only like seven or eight skaters left from that squad. And those guys are depth players now.

 

[Swipes]

What the hell is Hadamczik doing? Pulling the goalie when we're 3-1 down? What's the point of that, given that we couldn't score on any 5-4 powerplays we had the entire game......complete stupidity, such a useless coach.

3 year extension

3 year extension

Yeah.....we all knew it was a bad move....

how does that matter? I would do the same. We have to make the QF by points, there is no point in being there if we couldn't do that.

 

[Erathian]

Nothing but deserved win for Sweden. I think they will go far. On the other hand, this tournament will be tough for us if we don't wake up.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Anyways, Sweden is a very strong team and after seeing all the other teams play they are favorites to win right now IMO.
