WJC: Dec 26 GDT - Sweden vs. Canada

[deandebean]

Canada looked very bad on the PP. Plus, they have now shown any solid puck movement in the offensive zone. They need to get their rythm into it, because right now, they haven't looked comfortable.

Price has looked confident out there. Always prone to a softie, but as of now, he's been solid.

for Sweden, I liked the first periods of Joel Gistedt (goalie) and especially defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson.

 

[Riddarn]

Decent first period by the swedes. If they can keep this play up then I'm sure the numbers won't be too embarassing. As long as they play reasonably entertaining and don't waste too much energy on this game I'm satisfied. Gotto save something for the Slovaks and Germans, those are the teams we have to beat.

 

[KRM]

Too bad Canada got that deflection in net.

And why the hell isn't this game in HD? Great that it is in widescreen but why not HD?

I haven't watched a lot of OHL this year, can anyone inform me as to what Downie has done this year to justify having him on a PP unit?

59 points in 28 games.

both teams started strong. sweden looks like they can skate a bit - not sure they're in Canada's league but they seem to lack finish - that may be because Canada is exceptionally strong on D...canada seems to have some problems positionally on the pp because of the size of the rink and speed of the boards. we did take over late as sweden is having problems with our speed and transition game..
it is the first 'real' game for both teams so team chemistry is a factor - though we do have 11 guys back this year

that's the link someone on the Capitals' message boards gave me, and I'm listening now.

 

[Telecaster]

He looks like a mess to me.
Caughing the puck up, fanning on great chances and isn't finishing his checks. He just got a lot of icetime.

Some nice saves early by Price, especially on Sweden's first PP chance.

Well, i think he was pretty good. My eyes are on the TV and the Computer so maybe i missed some.

 

[BloodOnIce]

It looked like the Swedish coach told his players to take the body and set the tone in the first.

...I'd like to see Canada playing more of their own game in the third; FINISH YOUR CHECKS BOYS!

dude, you mean the 2nd, we have to play the 2nd before the 3rd

I may be stupid, but not sure what you're getting at. All im saying is that he isn't too bad offensively, and the person asked why he is on the powerplay....and he was last years best player...

Wow. I really have to start paying attention.

Stupid promotion at work giving me way more work than before. I knew it would come back to bite me in the *** soon enough.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I wonder if Jose gave Price any pointers about hair care!

 

[Foy]

Game On!

Cool, that's working for me here in Sweden at least. Watching this one on TV anyway, but will be useful for other games maybe, so thanks for the info.

Let's go boys!

We definitely have to take advantage of US losing in OT...

Nice PK by the Swedes...collapsing near their goaltender.

I find the lack of an on-screen penalty timer irritating
