GDT: Sweden - Denmark

[theslatcher]

You know the team is playing like absolute manure when DENMARK has an advantage playing 4 on 4.

Is to be expected. Swedish NT coaches, and 3v3/4v4 go together like Kalles and lingonberry. You should play skilled players, but they choose Loui Eriksson, & Viktor Lööv instead.

 

[theslatcher]

Send the U18 or U20 team instead, this is painful to watch

Eklund

 

[Garl]

Now Sweden will start pressuring

The fact that Garpenlöv sent him home and broke up the Skellefteå line (which was the best line) is laughable to be honest.

 

[theslatcher]

It's a good thing Montén is assisting Garpen, no idea where we would be without him.

 

[Urbanskog]

And Jensen with a hat trick

 

[Quonis]

Well this is fun. And a nice little hattrick to get us going

 

[LKI]

 

[Chimpradamus]

I knew this team would be bad, but this is beyond even my wildest pessimistic expectations.

Fire Garpenlöv on the spot and send Montén home with him. Put a basketball with a cap on it in his place and let the players solve it themselves.

 

[Prntscrn]

I mean Lundeström is our 1c.. Not sure what the thought was there

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Ok losing in handboll but hockey... Cmon man

 

[theslatcher]

Carl Klingberg, huh?

 

[Urbanskog]

I wish I didn't, but I sense an incoming heart breaker.

We are playing against Denmark and whining that there are not enough NHLers on the team. Can't beat Lauridsen bros and Morten Madsen, we need Hedman and Backstrom to do it!

 

[Mestaruus]

Arla mjölk game.

You could probably pick a bunch of centers from the euro leagues who are a better fit to play top line center. Maybe he has improved a lot but his point totals in NHL doesn't really suggest it.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Another brutal turnover by Lundestrom.. The kid has been bad.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The Danes are interfering like crazy now, any calls? Of course not.

Yep, there is too much faith put in players just because they play in the NHL. Lundeström is a fringe NHLer presently, that is about the level of the top players in Euro leagues and they are coming from seasons were they are used to playing top line minutes and carrying the team.

Thing is, the replacements are... Less than ideal too. There's nobody on this roster that should ever be anywhere close to 1C on a Swedish NT.

 

[Chimpradamus]

WHAT THE HELL is Tömmernes doing out there 6 on 5 as the QB?! Lundkvist was wide open for a shot 3-4 times and he didn't pass it ONCE.

Total fiasco. Garbage team. Send home half the team and the clown coach, we can play with 3 lines and 2 defensive pairings and probably do better.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Denmark deserved it at the end. Two blatant penalties not called with the empty better on Sweden.

Surprised teams don't try to get the puck down low for a jam play with time running down.

 

[Quonis]

Yeeeees. Finally Denmark managed to beat Sweden at the World Championships. I approve!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Lol.

 

[weklof]

I'm starting to worry that we might not even qualify for the quaterfinals. Russia and Czech Republic are for sure better teams than us and Switzerland is not far behind. And now we lose to Denmark. Could very well be that Russia, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Denmark or Slovakia finishes above us.

Our centers are real problem. Neither Lundeström nor Holmberg looked good, and Lindholm, Rasmussen and Wingerli are not really top-6 centers. And the defense was as bad as advertised, Lööv, ufhh what a horrible game. At least Nils Lundqvist looks like a future NHLer.
