GDT: Group S • May 9 • Sweden 5, Germany 2

[Freudian]

Hedman needs to keep things simple. There's enough offensive quality on the team so he doesn't need to try to play above his capabilities.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Anyone have a feed?

 

[Hedon]

Staffan can also Kronwall.

Thats what I was thinking Fel, not many hype posts leading up to puck drop, I'm sure the countries fans will stumble in @ some point though.

Regarding what was discussed earlier in the thread, I probably wouldn't move one of the top-4 D to FWD either as they would inevitably play less minutes then they're used to, thus making them automatically less effective. Then you'd have to think that there would be a period of time it would take to get accustomed to being up front. Better to use a spare part defense man in hand-picked situations IMO

Maybe leif boork should just suck it up and ask zetterberg for his autograph

 

[gretskidoo]

Germany vs Sweden or
Rammstein vs Peaches




Easy win for Germany

You could tell the first game Zetterberg played that it's the first time Boork sees him.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Stålberg continues to impress.

 

[1912]

N.Kronwall has had a terrible first period.

 

[Manny*]

Niklas Kronwall is playing so badly.

 

[joe89]

Brodin and Hjalmarsson have been our best D's. Sometimes simple is better.

 

[ts11]

Wow, great pass from Greilinger to the blue German player...wait....
Man, that could have been an ugly goal against for them.

Edit: Can't believe it, they can score!

 

[Hedon]

Sigh.

 

[Lugaid]

MASSIVE jinx from Granqvist.

 

[Pentothal]

Scoring in the last second of the period. How very German somehow.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

lol.

The Norris candidate could do with some of that too. You don't have to dangle 3 guys and hit a 30 meter outlet pass every single time.

 

[Texas R]

Great timing - at least they finally scored one...

Swedish PK-guys didnt really need to work.

 

[joe89]

Our best players weren't very good that period.

Germany has way better metalbands then sweden...

Edguy
Avantasia
Helloween
Gamma Ray
Axxis
Freedom Call
Blind Guardian
Masterplan
Primal Fear

Etc. Its just impossible for sweden to compete with Germany in terms of metalbands

 

[Eisen]

Germany's looking a lot better than I expected against Sweden. I love how they relentlessly forecheck. Cool PK by Alfie though.

 

[Freudian]

Like Avery would say: sloppy last seconds.

 

[Like Wall]

I wonder who flagged the last post. What was so insulting?

 

[joe89]

Will Sweden get a PP tonight?

 

[zecke26]

Will Sweden get a PP tonight?

don't worry. the best skill the german team has is taking dumb penalties.

 

[Texas R]

don't worry. the best skill the german team has is taking dumb penalties.

besides not-scoring.
