WJC: Dec 28 GDT - Slovakia 3 Sweden 6

[GuloGulo]

Lindeborg hasn't forgotten his crack pipe today either:
"Kommer från Dalarna, från Vännäs"

Vansbro?

Ornäs?

Lindeborgian brainfarts are tradition!

 

[The Viking Fury]

Who drafted this Omark guy?

 

[Chimpradamus]

I think Bergfors is benched. I didn't see any injury on him.

I don't think Omark has been drafted by anyone?

Sundström, Bergfors and Pettersson have been benched. Good, active coaching, sending a message to the team.

 

[Piggymon]

Where has Backstrom been?

A lot better these last 2 periods but really anything less than multiple appearances on the scoresheet is not good enough for him.

 

[Preds666]

Who drafted this Omark guy?

he is a midget (by NHL standards), not drafted.

 

[GuloGulo]

Who drafted this Omark guy?

I don't think he's drafted (could be wrong)

 

[Telecaster]

Lindeborg hasn't forgotten his crack pipe today either:
"Kommer från Dalarna, från Vännäs"

Yeah i caught that.

 

[Preds666]

Juraj Mikus has good puck control, but he is also a first-class diver. Interesting player nonetheless.

 

[Preds666]

Bäckström improved his play and was overall OK. Should be credited for the second assist on Sweden's last goal.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I still give credit to Bäckström. It's not easy being a 1st class playmaker when your linemates can't finish. He fed Rahimi on the PP as well, but Rahimi missed the puck.

 

[Telecaster]

Well. I am worried.

 

[Whitesnake]

Juraj Mikus has good puck control, but he is also a first-class diver. Interesting player nonetheless.

So besides diving.... , could you tell us a little bit more about how you see his game? Interested Hab fan here, thanks!

Afraid he's playing a perimeter game, is he afraid of the physical stuff going on? I know we'll see that more against the US or Canada on the weekend, but wondering what makes you think he could be an interesting player.

 

[Cush]

Bäckström improved his play and was overall OK. Should be credited for the second assist on Sweden's last goal.

3 - 6 EQ Sweden
27. LINDQVIST, Robin
(22. RAHIMI, Daniel)
(25. ZACKRISSON, Patrik)

 

[Gozer]

Bad first period, decent second, good third. Just need a little more consistensy and this tournament could be fun.

 

[Vikke]

Heh, it was Bäckström to Zackrisson to Lindqvist. Rahimi was nowhere near that play. If he was, I have to blame that infamous crack pipe

 

[Preds666]

3 - 6 EQ Sweden
27. LINDQVIST, Robin
(22. RAHIMI, Daniel)
(25. ZACKRISSON, Patrik)

Yeah, Rahimi is out of place there. Bäckström made two Slovakian players, got the puck to Zackrisson who then assisted Robin Lindqvist.

 

[MeHateHe]

iihf.com reports the final shots as 19-12 (!) For those of us who didn't actually see the game, could someone answer a couple of questions:

First: How is it possible to give up nine goals on 31 shots?
Second: Were the teams missing the nets, not shooting or did they play the entire game in the neutral zone?

 

[Dala]

Well, somewhat impressive that the : not managed to **** this game up more than he did...

Bergfors benched - about time...

 

[Cush]

Heh, it was Bäckström to Zackrisson to Lindqvist. Rahimi was nowhere near that play. If he was, I have to blame that infamous crack pipe

they changed to:

27. LINDQVIST, Robin
(19. BACKSTROM, Nicklas)
(25. ZACKRISSON, Patrik)

 

[daikan]

Heh, it was Bäckström to Zackrisson to Lindqvist. Rahimi was nowhere near that play. If he was, I have to blame that infamous crack pipe

Well on the IIHF site it says:

49.05 3 - 6 EQ Sweden 27. LINDQVIST, Robin
(19. BACKSTROM, Nicklas)
(25. ZACKRISSON, Patrik)



Bendelin thinks the refs were horrible.

Edit: Bleh, late.

 

[Stealth JD]

I'm really liking this Berglund kid. Can't believe he went so late in the 1st round. The Blues got a steal here. What a draft day for them.

Not only did the Blues grab EJ and Berglund in that draft.......but they also grabbed Junland. Not bad at all...

Swedish TV reported something like 26-24

 

[Chimpradamus]

I agree with Bendelin, the refs were indeed horrible. Good refs are invisible to the game, these were constantly visible.

At least the ref and the german linesman who twice interfered with the play because of clumpsiness.

 

[SChan*]

3 - 6 EQ Sweden
27. LINDQVIST, Robin
(22. RAHIMI, Daniel)
(25. ZACKRISSON, Patrik)

yeah swedish text tv pulled the same BS. Backstrom made the play and should have the assist.

 

[Riddarn]

Good thing that Bendelin benched Bergfors and put Zackrisson with Bäckström. Hopefully this will not be a one-time thing. Bergfors was crap against Canada and he was crap today as well.
