GDT: Sweden vs Czech

[dryz]

Aaaaand it's over.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Czechs championship favorites by the way What a blown opportunity.

 

[Gereth]

Sweden is always unfavorable match for Czechs, but I didn't expect it go south so fast, especially on this tournament where Sweden doesn't play that well.

 

[Swipes]

Nice play by Zadina. We're looking a bit better.

 

[AB13]

Sweden have been the better team and the lead is deserved. Nice to see.

 

[VictorLustig]

Could easily have been a 2-0 lead the other way.

 

[canswetoxic]

Czech is too aggressive, gonna run out of gas by 3rd

Aaaaand it's over.

LOL

I feel like Hrubec's save percentage went down in that period.lol

Like every game in the world then

I thoght it was a great start... some great shot blocks and a few nice saves from the Swedes. Then we take a stupid penalty for a stupid crosscheck. I'd like to see Hrubec stop at least one of those shots.

Zadina with some good looks... Kubalik looked good.

Not sure about Vrana.. got hurt on a nothing play (for a hockey game) but I think he was back.

It's a close game... like TSN is saying.. one bad bounce and one bad penalty (the bounce was the puck getting past Sulak at the Swede blue line, not the nice tip).

Feels like a close game. Need a break or 2.

I could also see the Swedes, um, playing like Sweden and running away with it.

Let's see what happens

Mm..... It doesn‘t look good for the Czechs. They must win to have only a little chance to reach the quarterfinal but they are 2-0 back.

I think we can lose and sitll make Quarters...

I don't think the game is over but our 3 losses would be to Sweden, Switzerland and Russia.. we just have to beat the rest to make it. Not that I think that is easy or anything but we played the top 3 teams in pool in first 4 games. (with all due respect to Slovakia who was in first this morning).

 

[Czechboy]

Aaaaand it's over.

It's one period! We played well. Have faith! I'm not saying i'm confident but there is hope!

 

[Phil McKraken]

Second period??? I thought the game started now.

 

[Czechboy]

Swedes are blocking so many shots.. then if we do get through, Goalie makes a nice save. I like our pressure and fight though... need a bounce. Maybe off a blocking player!

 

[AB13]

Very, very soft call. Hopefully they won’t score

 

[PTmbp13]

Divers. was that same penalty as a cross check to the throat. What a joke!

 

[dryz]

I hope I'm wrong but that team looks done. So much was said in the last two days but nothing changed.

Losing a point against Belarus might hurt in the end, assuming Slovakia beats Denmark for 3.

 

[Czechboy]

Vrana is clearly not 100%... He had a nice look. In fact, we've had several nice looks and plays.

However, Swedish PP.. I've seen this movie before.lol

 

[AB13]

Please play Olofsson on the Power Play

 

[weklof]

Sellgren is playing well and should earn more ice time.

The "NHL line" still does not work. Olofsson feels like he is being misused. He is a sniper and needs someone to feed him pucks, but Lundeström has been a black hole offensively and Sörensen is not really a playmaker. Perhaps switch Olofsson and Rasmussen, so that Olofsson can play with A. Kempe?

 

[Gereth]

Huh I would expect to see a call for that holding on a blue line, but not this one. Anyway quite frustrating to see all the chances and nothing gets in. It would be a dagger to see Swedes convert now.

I think you're right. My bad
