Soderstrom... ugh

Sweden is playing abysmally defensively.

It's never a good thing when your two D are a foot from eachother giving no option of an actual outlet pass.

I've seen the Oilers d do that too many times the last decade lol

Broberg and company are kind of being dominated.

Throwback comparison but I was calling Broberg Nurse+ but I think Tom Poti is a lot more fair.

Nurse is nastier to play against.

Was Brobergs injury a lower body one? He looks a lot slower than normal.

You dont need to be nasty to be effective defensively.

Klefbom barely throws a hit, yet defends very well with his stick and body positioning.

No, no it didnt, podkolzin's stick hooked walstedt out of position.

Watch it again. Broberg wedges his stick between the goalie and the Russian player driving the net. He trips over the stick and Broberg’s stick pushes the goalie away from the post.

Not hating, just surprised that’s not a goal

It looks like swedens equipment staff forgot to sharpen their skates, the whole team looks slow.

The reason why I said Nurse is because Broberg from a skating style/puck transporter POV is very similar to Nurse - but Poti was also like that, had great speed and size too. Poti has a better shot than Nurse and Broberg I think also has a better shot than Nurse.

I've watched it multiple times, Podkolzin's stick gets stuck under the goalies arm.

Games like this will show Brobergs leadership ability. He was given the C, let's see if he can lead by example on the ice or get his guys going between periods.

Sweden looks like a janky old meth head out there.

They definitely need a reset after this period, hopefully they come out a new team.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Podkolzin walked the entire team there

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Podkolzkin looks great, tbh.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Podkolzin looks dynamite today

 

[CycloneSweep]

Sweden needs to pick it up. Askarov is stingy they need to stop giving up so many good chances or this will get out of hand.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I will say that every Swedish defenseman not named Broberg looks even worse

lol!! Don’t do drugs kids, or you could look like Sweden tonight.

I wouldn’t know lol

That’s like... one of those negative compliments to Broberg lmao.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Really weak in the corner from Broberg there. He definitely seems off. Edit: Like his entire team.
