WC SF: May 20 GDT - Canada vs. Sweden

[MMX]

It'll injure the best players on Team Sweden so it'll be harder to capture the gold.

What are we just supposed to let some 4th liner take out the best player in the tournament and screw our chances for gold and not do anything about it?

Hannula is a fine player himself. FYI, he has scored hat-trick in the QF, so his loss will hurt Sweden.

 

[MartinFr]

Alright swedes and finns, VM or Melodifestivalen?

tough choice I don't wanna see Carola get pwned by Lordi

 

[Dala]

Why did the ref allow the goal? It was blocked between holmqvists skates, right? To me it looked like he had control of the play and waited for the ref to call.

Thoughts?

With 30 seconds left of the period

I'm pretty sure that the "kid" is fine.

Intent is still there, hopefully when we try to take off Zeterburgs head he gets just as lucky.

Zeterburg? are you going after our waterboy?

 

[Pete Rock]

We've all seen our fair share of hits, either way. That doesn't change the fact that this was pretty hideous.

Suter on Kariya anyone?

I'd prefer to bring up the Suter on Gretzky cross-check.

The most atrocious piece of classlessness (I like using the letter "s") that I have ever seen, and it led to the back problems that brought the Great One down.

Holmqvist should have dived down to cover the puck, he can't stand erect like some freaking Eiffel Tower.

 

[BigE]

Yeah, this eye for an eye non sense is a little disturbing. I'm pretty sure the Swedes wouldn't resort to that garbage, and I expect the same out of my country. Line the guy up and drill him cleanly (international rules you'd probably still get a penalty) but there's no need to do anything illegal or dangerous.

I dunno, I thought he had it blocked, too, but the ref had a good position and view of it, so I'll have to say it was a clear goal.

10 years old? or just a regular in trailer park boys?

[Riddarn]

Alright swedes and finns, VM or Melodifestivalen?

Are you kidding? I'm a proud music snob, so.. Well, I might watch the voting. It's fun to see how neighbouring countries play politics.

 

[bottleCAPS]

[CUBErt]

Hmm...recall:

Niedermayer on Forsberg..

Or Cory Cross on Nylander.

 

[bottleCAPS]

Bergeron! Watch Out Baby!!!!!

 

[Le Golie]

What a pass. What a finish.

What a combo.

 

[skullman80]

What a pass. What a finish.

What a combo.

Crosby and Bergeron?

Does anyone even have an audio link for this game?

 

[Le Golie]

Crosby and Bergeron?

Does anyone even have an audio link for this game?

Yes. Powerplay, Crosby going behind the net, spins backwards and fires a pass that nobody saw coming to Bergeron... and Bergeron burries it.

No audio link from me, sorry.

[Agasthya]

Big PK here.

 

[Macman]

How much time left? What's happening???

 

[SergeiK]

5 mins left and score is still 4-5. Swedes are so passive and Canada is pushing hard.
