WJC Bronze Medal Game: Jan 5 GDT - Sweden vs. USA

[CapsWolverinesUSA]

The Johnsons have been excellent, but Chorney and Lawson have really done a great job in this tournament as well. They deserve a lot of credit. Each has made a top notch partner for a Johnson and contributed effectively at both ends.

Zimmerman has also been a solid contributor on that 3rd D-line.

 

[Garo]

What a play... they got to check him better than that.

1-1

nice pass by backstrom. it seems like the swedish and canadian fans have formed an unholy alliance at the game. i'm assuming part of the 'deal' is that the swedes will back canada against the vodka-soaked bear in the gold medal game

 

[Foy]

It's interesting to see Sweden put that one home, because for the last few mintues it seemed like the US was just trying to hit more than actually score and pad the lead.

 

[CapsWolverinesUSA]

Awesome play and pass by my NHL team's future 1st line center, but Frazee needs to do a little better on that shot.

Still, I can forgive him, as well as he's played recently...

 

[Preds666]

wow, nice reffing

 

[Kaktus*]

Penalty USA?

 

[reaper]

Crappy call by the ref... Wake up, damn the refs suck this tournament...

 

[Garo]

Ehm... whatever.

 

[Kaktus*]

My gooooooooooooooooooood

Thats a crappy call...
I mean real crappy call..

A damn shame.

 

[reaper]

Thanks ref, USA scores, 2-1...

 

[Foy]

2-1 as the Penalty expires.

 

[emb24*]

2-1 E johnson

gotta love this canadian ref

 

[Kaktus*]

O my god.... this is pure BS. Calls like that..

Thats why I said.. I do not want USA or Canada refs in Russia game.

I am scared of these types of call..

 

[Chimpradamus]

No one can say Sweden has received any home ice advantage from the refs in this tournament, for sure...

Where's Rahimi? I haven't seen him out there

 

[Preds666]

Where's Rahimi? I haven't seen him out there

looks he is benched right now, cause they are playing no 7 defenseman alex ribbenstrand

 

[Zim]

Where's Rahimi? I haven't seen him out there

He got a ten minute misconduct.

 

[emb24*]

Where's Rahimi? I haven't seen him out there

yeah rahimi, that doesn't sound very swedish - where's he originally from?
iran? italy? armenia?
swedish posters can you answer this?

 

[Fighter]

[Kaktus*]

[Preds666]

Okay for the other two countries, but Rahimi an italian name??? Not that Italy has all of that in common with Iran...

 

[Bad News Benning]

I don't think Okposo is NHL ready, he needs to bulk up and get stronger on the puck.

 

[Tinordi24*]

Father is from Iran.

Makes sense. Tons of my relatives moved from Iran to Sweden as its easier for them to get in that country than USA apparently.

Nice to see Backstrom involved and I hope he does well..but...

USA! USA!
