Yup... we have the best crowd in the world... let's deflate them and play 6 minutes shorthanded while the Swedes pelt our all star goalie. Also, let's give Sweden a lead because they're real easy to score on.haha

Okay, that's a game. Dostal loses confidence and he is the only one preventing swedes from making this an exhibition game.

That Swedish guy seriously shushed the crowd after being given 3 PPs in a row?

lol

”given”

When you leave your defensive zone once in, what, 14 minutes, penalties are going to happen.

Is it considered a Hat trick if Sweden scores a PP goal, shorthanded goal and even strength goal?

Sweden has now allowed 2 goals in PP and scored two in boxplay, so it's a +/- game so far. Sweden has played a really aggressive boxplay this tournament.

This would probably sound like a total Capt. Obvious' line but Czechs just can't afford giving up another goal the rest of the game. From now on it's a sudden death OT for them except a goal wouldn't seal the win for them.

Nightmare!

Dostal looked great and like he was going to steal one... no fault on the powerplay goal against. Then he sets up a Sweden for an empty netter.

When we weren't taking stupid penalties we were hustling and trying.

The good news is that we can't play any stupided (well, I mean, I 'think' we can't play any stupider)... ONLY down 2-0. Who knows. A goal and the crowd starts hopping.

I originally said we had a 10% chance based on not taking stupid penalties and Dostal being our best player. I might be lowering that number now.lmao

Is anyone outside of Sweden aware of the "boxplay" expression? ;P
Well, they should, it's a great expression. :laugh: When you play shorthanded, you're in a box, in many ways. The penalized player is in a box, the team plays in a box and the obvious disadvantage of the team is in a box.


Speaking of which, why didn't the Czech DJ pick this for the penalty jingle? "I'm living in a box. I'm living in a cardboard box."
