PRE GDT Canada vs. Sweden

[wassup77]

NOw THAT could be effective against some of the Canadian players...but when the killing spree gets to Nash...there will be a problem...Nash cannot be killed,not with heavy artillery,not with poison/toxins...nothing kills Nash.

I know! nobody can kill him! not until he have cured cancer etc.

 

[Everest]

because NHL is overrated! actually SEL is way better than NHL!

Oh...I didn't realize...mibad.

 

[SChan*]

Oh...I didn't realize...mibad.

don't take it too serious.

 

[Everest]

btw everest, aren't you american and not canadian?

Canadian...Alberta...how did you get American? Or are you just trying to bug me?

He thought only Americans could be that stupid

thought you cheered for USA vs Canada. Ok I was wrong, sorry.

 

[Everest]

Nope,I'm 100% Canadian (and stupid apparently)

 

[Levitate]

no matter how good he is, lundqvist is going to have to get help from his team against Canada...no goalie, no matter how good they are, can go it alone against the kind of firepower canada has

 

[Everest]

Lets be nice...I respect Swedish hockey,I think you are great fans...and the game will be awesome tommorow.(is that Canadian enough for ya'?)

agreed

let's enjoy the game.

true, last year Lundqvist let in 5 goals against canada, but he has improved ALOT since, so I just hope he breaks his own record.

Yeah thats the spirit!

PS. sweden will KILL canada!

 

[Everest]

Yeah thats the spirit!

PS. sweden will KILL canada!

That would be the shock of the tourney so far...besides maybe the Swiss and Russia earlier today.

 

[salzy]

What makes me think he's good? The way he've been playing lately?

Oh wait... I forgot... Canadians/Americans only look at statistics from the past and not actually at the games when they judge a player...

With that said, if Swedes are so much smarter, why is Sundin a hero over there?

 

[wassup77]

He isn't... it's over there he is a hero

 

[MykeAbner]

Seriously wassup, I don't know what you think you're doing, but you're coming across as well below impressive right now.

 

[FLYLine27*]

I cannot wait for the game tomorrow, if Lundqvist doesnt perform like he can on an average day though then watch out....Lundqvist will forever have a horrible rep on the board (Cough.. like Montoya after a few torny games)


Lemme chuck this in the post

Last two years Sweden sent their olympic superstars to the Worlds (Forsberg,Sundin,Alfredsson,Lidstrom,Zetterberg) and still couldnt beat an average Canadian line up led by youngers (heatley and Bouwmeester). This year we have a much better line up than Sweden. We'll see what happens...

But you are forgetting the fact that Forsberg, Sundin, Alfredsson, Lidstrom and Zetterberg did not play good back then.

 

[dmcilvan]

I think it'll be a pretty even game with Canada coming out on top. While I think Lundqvist will play as well, if not better, than Brodeur will, I don't see the rest of the Swedish team outplaying the Canadians.

I'm thinking it will be a low scoring game, maybe 2-1 Canada.

Who's fault is that?

 

[wassup77]

Who's fault is that?

I'm just saying that these guys can play their best and maybe have a chance to win!

 

[syc]

Yes I know that. But they think that Sweden is Norway or something...

And you think Sweden is Canada or something...

 

[Ismellofhockey]

Is this the beginning of a Sweden-Canada rivalry?
If a non-NHL swedish squad beats Canada as a revenge for the past 2 gold medal losses, the rivalry could heat up pretty seriously between two hockey-proud countries.

I have faith in Brodeur, it's Hannan, Regehr and Jovanovski that worry me, along with our offence. Nash is good (I hear he's replaced Prince Charming in fairy tales) but where's the secondary scoring?

 

[wassup77]

And you think Sweden is Canada or something...

They IS Canada!

I made this PRE game day thread, since it has so many post already.
I'll make a new GDT later today
