WJC: Dec 30 GDT - Sweden vs. Germany

[Telecaster]

PP coming up for Sweden.

 

[Chimpradamus]

2-0 is lingering in the air. Numerous great scoring chances.

Really smooth by Bäckström when he was trapped at the blueline, when he flipped it in to his teammate in front of the goalie. I thought he was screwed.

 

[Preds666]

Finally Bäckström has found his game. He has been very good so far!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Only one team on the ice so far. Germany can only clear it for icing when they get the puck. And there came PP no. 3.

What bugs me is the Swedish players are bad at going directly for goal without the puck. The puck comes in, but no one is there.

 

[Jussi]

On a side note: the music in between breaks in Swedish arenas is so redicilously bad you want to cry.

Let me guess, Boten Anna?

Even worse. "Klappa händerna när du är riktigt glad."

If you watch Simpsons, it's something Ned Flanders and his sons would sing if they were Swedish.

Bäckström has found his linemates.

Sweden should lead with 3-0, at the very least, IMO.

We will surely face some PK in the second.

Agreed. The germans are probably very pleased to keep the score down to 1 goal. One quick counter attack or one good PP from the germans and this game is even again.

We have a finnish version of that song, I thought they sing it only in kindergartens??

 

[EHCler]

Well as long as you guys beat the US for us we let you win today.

Kindergartens and Swedish Hockey Arenas.

"Alla ni som älskar Jesus klappar nu"?

Kind of.

It took 30 seconds. And there is number 2 for one of the most redicilous rules ever added to the sport. Delay of game my ***. I mean, how can you call it "intentional delay of game"?! No one in their right mind would intentionally do anything that cost a penalty, the same with goalies that are unlucky and clears it out of the rink.

1-1 on a 5 on 3.

Dammit, 5-on-3..

Dammit, 1-1..

 

[Telecaster]

Not good.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The Swedes are really working hard to make it difficult for the Germans to make that long line change. The German bench was warned for not making the substitutions in between plays fast enough.

2-1! Isaksson in the wonderful Omark line!

Wikegård: "Where did that come from? What cream in that shot!"

"Vilken kräm i skottet!"

 

[daikan]

2-1 Isaksson!!!

 

[Telecaster]

Nice shot by Isaksson! 2-1

 

[daikan]

Wow, what a play by Zackrisson. Almost got a goal there, but the shot wasn't great.

Are you guys finding out the Germans are a pain in the *** yet?

Because they are.

Because they are.

They've only played it for icing about 320 times so far. I think the Swedish model suits us better playing Germany than it does for Canada. Also, Germany play back to back.

Zachrisson! Very nice dekes.
