GDT: Sweden vs. Russia, Feb 16, 4:00 PM Torino, 10:00 AM EST

[Herby]

I think the loss of Zhitnik to the Russians is pretty big. Vishnevski was probably the worst player on the ice yesterday for the Russians, the quick Slovak forwards were easily skating around him.

I dont think his brand of hockey fits well on the big ice, kind of like Hatcher.

Russia will win big. They are the class of the group with the Slovaks.

 

[Preds666]

3-2 Russia.

Cannot wait to see the Russian forwards test Lundqvist. Should be a good one.

 

[Seiza]

If Lundqvist and the Sedins play well and our PP gets going I think we will win this 3-1.

 

[Telecaster]

4-4 Can't wait for the game to start, not much work getting done here today.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Should be a great game.

2-1 Sweden.

3-2 Russia.

No man, Russia is worse. Stop underrating yourself!

 

[Coffee and 7's*]

This is a crazy game!! I've never feared Russia as much as I do today...I even removed as many Swedes I could in my fantasy leauge!!
I will watch ever minute of this game and I will cheer for my boys like never before. But to be honest I believe Russia win 4-3

Ovechkin x2
Kovalev
Afinogenov

D. Sedin
H. Sedin
Alfredsson

being the scorers!

EDIT: Oh...is Lundqvist in net? 3-0, Sweden then...

 

[octopi]

I think Sweden takes advantage of Russia's youth, and questionable defensive play, but should be a good game with exciting goals and chances(Watch it be a 0-0 tie now that I said that.... )

 

[Vikke]

I have problems deciding where I'm gonna watch the game.
At home, with a lot of popcorn, but alone.
With friends, without popcorn, but a 72" plasma TV.
Or, at a bar with lots of beer?

Make popcorn and bring them to your friends'?

No, make popcorn bring the pops AND the friends to the bar!! and drink all beer in the world!!

 

[ranold26]

5-3 Sweden.
Goaltending and defence will be the key.

 

[TheRedressor]

Lundqvist is gonna step it up for Sweden. Russia is going to be down 0-2. Thats a big hole to get out of.

 

[Robertsson 4-ever]

I'm really excited now but I'm also a lot worried. However, I'll be optimistic and say that Sweden will win 2-0. Sweden will have a big job in shutting down the russian forwards, but the slovaks impressed me more in the first game. I really hope Ronnie Sundin hasn't arrived yet...

 

[TheRedressor]

This is gonna be such a huge game!

 

[YungGunner94]

nabokov will step up

 

[Bloggins]

5-3 Sweden. Team Russia will lose their composure as the game gets away from them.

 

[Hollywood]

Did Frolov play yesterdays game against the Slovaks? Is he playing today? I figured he'd be a big player for the Russians with his ability to control the puck along the outside especially on PP's

I saw him once in the game yesterday with a give-away...but maybe that was just a coincidence.

 

[Robertsson 4-ever]

Oh no.

Ronnie Sundin will start since Niclas Hävelid got a puck on his knee. PLEASE, play well Ronnie!

 

[Archijerej]

I got a feeling Sweden will win. Maybe even destroy the Russians.

 

[DimaNYR]

What is the time differential between Italy and Eastern US? thanks
