Sweden was better in the first 2 periods. The USA has been better in the 3rd.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Overtime.

 

[Nordic*]

Overtime.

Equals a 100% loss for Sweden. Game over.

 

[Klaus]

No, that statement is incorrect. I have said that refs are very biased when you face Canada, and Canada only.

Who cares. Point is you whine and make excuses just as much as anyone else.

I believe they will change over to the Philadelphia - Buffalo game soon, but I seem to have found a (temporary) stream. http://sportspleasure.yolasite.com/

The game isn't over yet...



I don't necessarily mean his defensive play, which I think is still fine. What I mean more are some of the chances he takes. For example, in the 2nd period against Russia, he broke up the right side, put the puck between the Russian defenders legs, walked around him and got a great scoring chance. Stuff like that will not work at the next level. That defensive player could have easily picked that puck off and turned it up ice for an odd man break the other way. NHL teams have to see that and likely won't be overly blown away by some of the things he pulls against 17 year old players.

I still think he is a great prospect and a valid top 10 pick, I just don't expect some of his bread and butter moves to translate all that well.

They said the same thing when he was playing for York Simcoe before entering the OHL. No sense in changing him. He's a big time difference maker that will make whatever team takes him very happy with the offensive punch he provides from the blue line.

4on4 or 5on5?

 

[SuperSaiyanBeastmode]

******* tsn the philly game isn't gonna be on for 20+min you can easily watch the rest of the game and the panel gets a rest, who doesn't want a small rest during the playoffs? Edit: nvm, thanks tsn. Zibanejad score a sick OT goal plz!

 

[cheerupmurray]

4on4 I think

That doesn't start until 20 past, I think we're safe unless there's a prolonged shootout.

The Canada and USA game was 4 on 4. So I assume it is the same.

 

[Pentothal]

That doesn't start until 20 past, I think we're safe unless there's a prolonged shootout.

I hope so. I'm just worried that the guy with the stream is going to change over to TSN 2 where the pre-game talk is at.

Being treated unfairly gives you the right to speak up and even makes excuses. Not being able to use your best players due to the tournament going at the same time as junior leagues playoffs isn't unfair, it's a choice by the league in question.
