[Eye of Ra]

[VictorLustig]

Pettersson not playing today. Sick.

Most likely Nilsson. Hellberg got to play 2 games in a row, so I assume Nilsson gets to do the same.

Shutout for Sweden, by how much depends on which Sweden is playing, and I assume ice will be as bad as last time as we get the late game again.

Haha you are 10 years too late to see that.

 

[Koolo92]

How good is the defence of Sweden tho? Austria has scored 2 goals in 2 of the 3 matches. They also played 4-3 last time they played against each other. Don't know if this is really going to be a slaughter.

 

[FinPanda]

4-0 Sweden as they stop playing after 3-0.

Sweden has the best defense in the tournament, only ones close are Canada.

Edit: and last time we played eachother we won 8-1(2015)?

 

[Koolo92]

Ok, i didn't know. Thanks for clearing that up. Last time, it was 4-3.

Austrian lineup:

Liszt - Mozart - Schubert

Haydn - Strauss

Mozart (son of shut up'n play yer pianoforte)

 

[EK47]

4-0 Sweden as they stop playing after 3-0.

Unlike those classless statpadding Finns, I bet they even smile after scoring 8-1

 

[FinPanda]

Unlike those classless statpadding Finns, I bet they even smile after scoring 8-1

So true.

 

[EK47]

So true.

The smiling comment was about some french dude in the last Sweden game GDT. I suggest you check it out for the hilarity.

 

[EK47]

And that’s why you have Kempe on the powerplay

 

[Phil McKraken]

 

[rickardr]

Nyq is not good at all.

 

[rickardr]

Rakell is a good player.

 

[EK47]

That third pairing are not very good in their own end.

 

[VictorLustig]

Yeah Rakell and OEL are on a different level

 

[kabidjan18]

Schlacher and Heinrich fail again.

Not that it will change the outcome, but some of these penalties are stupid. This is not a game the refs need to affect to get a predictable result.
