GDT: Semifinal • Sweden vs. Finland

[snizzbone*]

Kempe one of the best for Sweden..? What? Wheres Nylander?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Yeah all thanks to refs.

Sweden didn't do nearly enough to win the game, regardless of a couple questionable calls. Your whining just makes you look immature.

 

[PTmbp13]

Stop complaining. Finland was better team, created way more chances overall in the game !

correction. Finns got better after refs leading them to 5 on 4

Clearly one of the parameters

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Finland was overall better, we didnt create a single scoring chance in the 3rd.

 

[aphyro]

The taste of tears from whining *****es about refs umm... so good.

Yepp i can still taste the salty tears from Finland after Turin

 

[Macbanan]

Sweden couldn't get their act together after falling behind. If you can't rebound after one goal deficit than you won't win the game.

 

[Sher-Wood]

Lol the Finns trapped for half the game. What exactly were you better at?

True that. Refs kind of handed the finns the lead and from then on it was all about the trap for the finns.

 

[Antonglk]

Sweden offense simply disappeared.

 

[Gaps]

Our team finally learned how to defend. Who would have thought?

JJ does know how to coach a good defensive system, so it was IMO only a matter of time when he'd manage to bring the same into this team. What I wasn't sure of was if he'd succeed in time, but he did.

 

[S A W F T*]

Wooooooo!

Finland/USA is the final I wanted. Now that is a huge possibility!

 

[JimboA]

Congrats and good luck.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

What were those awards for?

 

[Dahlman1221]

Kempe one of the best for Sweden..? What? Wheres Nylander?

Or Timashov

 

[Porvari]

One more time:
No delay of game when the puck goes to the benches.

OK, thanks for the clear-up!

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Not surprised. Didn't see the calls, but they capitalized - can't blame em.

 

[jonlin]

It's sad when the referees have to win the game for Finland

Its sad when Swedes cant play better and blame the refs for loosing. Refs gavu us 1 PP, I give you that, but overall we were the better team. More shots, better attacks and more dangerous scoring chances. But hey, keep on crying all you want...

 

[VictorLustig]

Kempe one of the best for Sweden..? What? Wheres Nylander?

Honestly, Nylander was a ghost most of the tournament. Scored on his chances.

 

[QnebO]

Yeah all thanks to refs.

One bad call there was, and there should be many to come in our favor before we are even. Why was whining about the refs so wrong last time? Hmmm... Oh, because it was for your favor and against us. You wont win with just 1 goal against Finlands subpar defence and goaltending, you didint deserve.

 

[hirawl]

Jalonen took Gronborg to school. They're really appointing him head coach of tre kronor next year?

Anyway good game pojat and grabbar. Let's be civil again.

 

[LiveeviL]

Stop complaining. Finland was better team, created way more chances overall in the game !

Yes Finland was good, but without the phantom calls which resulted in goals the score could have been something else. Better reffing is needed this is just lottery otherwise when two equal teams are matched.

 

[Tobeflop]

In all honesty, even though Finland did benefit from some of the calls, Sweden did not play well enough today. I was expecting a cake walk given how well they'd played in the previous games. Finland showed guts and grinded the win.

 

[geoo9]

OMG Swedes stop it. All nonbaised fans saw that finns deserve a win and were better team

 

[Opado]

It seems like Finnish juniors have passed Swedes in progress. Two years ago u18 they lost 10-0 and today they won u20 2-1.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Finland was better because the refs crushed the Swedes morale.

Well then Sweden was too mentally fragile to deserve moving on if that's the case.

 

[Canuckistani]

It's quite stunning that despite going 36-0 in the opening round since 2008, Sweden has only one gold (2012) to show for it.
