GDT: Sweden vs. Czechia, Bronze Medal Game, August 20th, 2022; 1pm PT/ 4pm ET/ 10pm CEST

[Canucks LB]

Lekkerimaki has been really disappointing for me this tournament. I know he’s an 04 in an 02 dominated tournament but I just haven’t seen it from him.

there’s no sugarcoating it, he has been absolutely invisible.

But again, he has a nice built in excuse, Let’s see how he is a Next tourny

 

[snipes]

Sweden scores.

2-1

 

[Czechboy]

Gut with the snipe lol

TSN continues to shit on Sweden. 1 shot in period.

I don't care if oilers fans hate this take... Should've drafted walstedt! And I like Xavier B but walstedt is a beaut

 

[Jukurit]

NOOOOOO!

 

[Prntscrn]

2-1 Sweden, very deserved!

 

[Statsy]

This game’s getting interesting.

 

[Chainshot]

The guy who gets no ice time scores #4 for the tournament.

I'll concede that Rosen doesn't show the most intensity away from the puck, but they should be more fully exploiting one of their top scoring threats.

It will be interesting to see how the Sweden WJC teams perform without Monten.

 

[Czechboy]

I felt we were better in the period but Sweden scored almost instantly. Good for them.

 

[Czechboy]

Jiricek I think was affected by the covid... When I had mine inwent from easily cycling 50 to 80kms to the fridge seemed far. Something tells me he will be great at xmas

 

[czechcanadian]

Czechs playing well. Of course Sweden scores on their first shot of the period. Face off interference on top of that. Then interfere with Suchanek..

 

[Czechboy]

My fav bottom 6er is Hauser... Not sure what his flaw is but he creates offence and can shoot.

Czechs playing well. Of course Sweden scores on their first shot of the period. Face off interference on top of that. Then interfere with Suchanek..

That's what I saw too... Looked sketchy. TSN is saying it as well but they dont seem to like Sweden.lol

Not sure how the tap on suchanek wasn't a penalty either.. maybe because he embellished so much?

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Jiricek makes some baffling decisions.

 

[Czechboy]

Walstedt with a great save on kulich

 

[Czechboy]

Suchanek with a good save himself.. he was roughly our 5th choice and has played great!

Malik declined
Malek declined
Hamara got injured (I spelt his name wrong, Carolina pick)
Bednar was starter
Then suchanek lol

 

[Czechboy]

Czechs need to cash in this gift... Back to back powerplays in a medal game in third... Make it happen

 

[Ginger Papa]

Walstedt with a great save on kulich

To me he’s been Sweden‘s Player of the Game.


Edit:
Good opportunity for the Czechs here to bury one

 

[Statsy]

No call? Wow!

 

[Czechboy]

Refs are shitting the bed both ways lol.

The Swedes shot blocking is insanely brave

 

[NyQuil]

They’re not going to call that given the score and time left in the game.

Only something that takes away a scoring chance.

(Btw I thought you were referring to the late hit)

 

[czechcanadian]

Ah f*** off refs. This is a F***ing joke!

 

[Czechboy]

Suchanek is very good down low... I'm not sure why he wasn't drafted or what his weakness is? Only thing I've seen is weak with puck on his stick

 

[Statsy]

Dagger!

 

[NyQuil]

Tough break Czechs, I was rooting for you guys.
