GDT: Gold Medal Game • Feb. 23 • Sweden vs. Canada • Part III

[Boreal01]

Is Subban or Hamhuis dressed?

 

[WinterEmpire]

What's the record for the least amount of goals allowed in an Olympics?

Someone posted it earlier, I think it was 5

 

[YWGinYYZ]

20 minutes to go - Sweden will NOT give up, roll over, and play dead. Stay on 'em, Team Canada.

 

[Juzmo]

Canadas missing Stamkos and Tavares... 2 of the top 5 players in the world..... excuses are for losers.

The gap of skill between the injured players and replacements are totally the same.

 

[BigZ65]

Are the Swedes going to keep going with the hail mary stretch pass offence, or actually try to possess the puck?

 

[Peen]

But to constantly say it makes them sound like they're whining but we're the classless gloating Canadians...please! Yes Finland and Sweden played an amazing Olympics but to use that as an excuse when their goalie is keeping them in it is just so childish.

I don't see any game where the goalie was the reason they won.

 

[SidGenoMario]

Has Canada seriously never trailed? Has that ever happened in an international tournament?

 

[Some Other Flame]

The constant need to white knight Kunitz is beyond pathetic. He doesn't belong anywhere near an Olympic team and that's a fact.

Great game by Canada though. Price has been incredible.

 

[DisgruntledGoat*]

This may sound incredibly Canadian hockey conceited, but this game is over.

Canada is playing too well defensively to allow 3 goals in 20 mins.

Not happening.

Sweden doesn't need three. They need two and then take it to OT.

You can play a lot worse than Sweden has and get a couple bounces in 20 minutes.

Far from over. Never count out a proud team like Team Sweden. Especially when they got the King in goal.

Where is Backstrom?

So many Vancouver fans online... what time is it there?

5:40 am

 

[BoHorvatFan]

Sweden has made some question decisions with their defence that's for sure.

 

[Zack Kassian]

Welcome to an European hockey fans life. Sunday's early games are a blessing sometimes.

I couldn't imagine.

5:40 am. It's worth it

 

[Chimpradamus]

Yeah, this is over. We're too depleted to match Canada and it's obvious. It sucks, but at least I won't be disappointed with a silver medal.

5:40am. Been up since 3:45. Went to bed for a nap at 1:30 lol.

I agree. Their missing players affect that team more than losing Stamkos and Tavares hurts us, in all fairness. Depth and all.

I know this may sound arrogant/homer but even with a full line up do you really believe they'd beat Canada? It might be closer but this team is untouchable right now. They haven't lost, trailed all tournament and look better with each game. A dangerous team.

Game started at 4am here hahaha

 

[Kirk Mclean]

One more boys

 

[gretskidoo]

Stamkos, Tavares, Someone finish the list

Since your Y team could apparently win this tournament with ease, it's really not the same at all.

 

[KingMatthews]

Canada is just absolutely dominating. Love it.

 

[Scotty B]

High hit from behind on Kunitz Elbow up too...Coulda been 5 plus game, at least double minor...He WAS Bleeding...Don't blame refs for chickening out though,,,Don't wanna be the deciding factor

 

[WinterEmpire]

Is Subban or Hamhuis dressed?

Subban - No
Hamhuis - Yes

With our injured players, this would be a close came. It's not now.
