GDT: Group C • May 2 • Sweden 3, Austria 0

[hockeydog]

Deserved, but lucky.
A goal out of nowhere in the first. Then Austria hit the post. Second goal coming by a double deflection.

It would be more interesting, if Sweden had to do more, like in a tie game. I'm sure Austria couldn't handle the pressure, but it would be more fun to watch.

Guess since Sweden won't take the points won today in the next round, the only positive thing for both sides is that they found their starting goaltender.

I think the problem is that they dnt know each other. They dnt know what their teammates will do.... Loui is just so good that it dosent mather. He can do it all by himself. Hopefuly they get to know each other in the next games. Remember Canada in the first games in the olympics. Lots of stars that couldnt play well together. Later in the competition they managed to play as a team and then Boooooooom!!!

Except that they do.. Berglund and Pääjärvi are new to each other, but Sjögren and Wallin play on the same team and Silfverberg, Krüger, Tedenby etc. are familiar with each other. A couple of fill-ins and you have the whole forward crop. First line is the only one showing some chemistry.

[Garl]

PP was bad. Even though we managed to score.

 

[Systemfel]

Grossman's knee is ****ed.

 

[disrespectful]

Well there goes our best defenseman

 

[Garl]

Grossman's knee is ****ed.

He didn't looked that bad when he walked off. But wow, the 2 people in one spot today is ridiculous.

 

[vippe]

Our only defenseman who can actually play defense :<

 

[disrespectful]

OEL has looked lost all game until he recently started lining up the opposition for a couple of hipchecks

 

[Bjorn Le]

**** Grossman you can't stay healthy during any thing thats important can you. Dallas down the strech and now the WC?

OEL has looked lost all game until he recently started lining up the opposition for a couple of hipchecks

OEL is so much worse now than when he left Sweden. Phoenix ****ed him up...badly.

 

[Nordic*]

Berglund is damn dominant out there, he has finally found the groove I said he'd have when he was 18.

3-0 FT

Pretty meh game

 

[Everlasting]

An okay game by Sweden. Still many things that needs to be improve.

I also want Tedenby, fernholm and OEL to leave the team. They are just too bad.

 

[vippe]

I liked what I saw from Krüger.

We could really need someone running the PP...

 

[Pentothal]

Nice to win, but this was not a very reassuring performance. I wonder what will happen when we play a good team. Thank god that the US have had an insane amount of rejections.

Tedenby just falls on the ice where ever he might be, but Fernholm and OEL werent even the worst defenders on the team today. Petrasek, Gunnarsson were god awful.

 

[Garl]

A win is a win. We played pretty badly but I will not overdramatize this performance. In 2nd and 3rd we controlled the play, and I hope that we will improve the team chemistry in next games.

Petrasek can be used in PP, he has a great shot. OEL on the other hand is bad everywhere on the ice. Even in the offence and he is suppose to be an offensive deffender, right?

 

[Dosing]

The forwards just stopped passing the dmen inthe offensive zone for long stretches, thats how bad they all are.

 

[Robin Hood]

Did Berglund get a secondary assist on the last goal?

 

[zecke26]

Petrasek, Gunnarsson were god awful.

i don't think calle was awful. he was just left alone in almost every situation. it's not fair that he has no defensive partner.

[Eye of Ra]

Rickard Wallin, what a friggin joke. The guy is past his prime by about 5yrs, he's as soft as a marshmellow and he's not a fourth liner.

 

[Eye of Ra]

I liked what I saw from Krüger.
