WJC: Dec 30 GDT - Sweden vs. Germany

[Riddarn]

Man was this boring. I thought it would never end. At least it's nice to see that there are a few swedes that can shoot well.

The ref sucked. Again. I usually don't complain about them but geez.. the way he tried to "compensate" the germans in the second period and then stopped blowing for hooking, holding and crosschecking was embarrassing to see. I hope it improves in the playoffs.

Not so good im afraid. Last game against slovaks the was benched because too many mistakes. Today he wasn´t bad but hardly any good... he needs to step up.

He managed to miss a penalty shot aswell.

I'm watching the game via the SVT.se website, that little chip/flip pass by Backstrom was sweet. Maybe he'll be the next Cap to hit a hole in one

... on which he deked bad and finished bad.

Yeah, that's pretty neat. Both that you can watch the games on the website and that Bäckström is very good on those chip passes.

Maybe.

I really like his way of bringing the puck in to the offensive zone. He isn't afraid to deke, and when he does, he rarely fails.

Someone mentioned the music earlier, but what's with the 80's music they play during the breaks? I noticed during the Slovakia game as well

I've never been to a Swedish Hockey Arena that plays good hockey anthems and music. It's just the way it is, I bet there's some 50 year old guy up there in every arena playing his themes, sometimes letting his 7 year old daughter choose.

True, but the "DJ" (or something like it) in Mora is exceptionally awful. He mixes '80s hits with mora träsk and accordeon music.

I wish all of swedens games had been in Ejendals arena. Way better atmosphere.

 

[Vikke]

It's true. Wherever you get, no matter if it's the SEL or division 4, in North or South, it's still the same music in every arena.

The ones responsible!

Oh god.

How did Berglund look today?

 

[Gozer]

How did Berglund look today?

Kind of quiet today, didn't really do much good or bad. Personally I think he is a little misused by the coach. He is a very good offensive player, but he playes on a line with two not so offensivly gifted players. I can think of several other line combinations that I think would create much better chemistry for him, but the swedish coach seems satisfied as it is right now. I would like to see him with perhaps Bergfors and Pettersson, which would be a leathal line if they get going.

Not true, In Scandinavium we only have commercials
