Oren tops out as a 4C in the nhl
Just not enough offence

Who’s Oren?

 

[McCullogh]

Lekkerimäkis shot is really something else. Everybody in the arena, even the guy not watching the game who sells pop corn, knows its coming yet he scores on the one-timer again and again.. and again.

 

[Knight53]

This guy is going to be scoring 35+ playing with EP40. Special shot.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Any space to shoot and this kid hits the bullseye.

I know he's shooting at an unsustainable rate but what a release he has.

I don’t think he is. He has 30+ shot leading the tournament. With 7 goals which would make his shooting percentage around 20% for a shot and release that good not super unsustainable.

Sweden's record in gold medal games must suck.

Terrible goal to give up by Havelid.

 

[Breakers]

Interesting that Mike Johnston saying the American goal that got Willander is a set play.

It makes you make a decision as a d-man
But you just can’t sit on the fence like Willander

 

[WTG]

America, PDO kings

 

[God]

Terrible goal to give up by Havelid.

yeah the swedes take this with a better goalie

 

[wonton15]

USA is just more hungry and faster. Seems like a heavy uphill battle for Sweden now with that weak goal

 

[Breakers]

Oooooofff

I’m a bit delayed on feed

That is one of those goals against the just decimates the energy of your squad it is so weak.

Sweden saved their worst game for the gold medal game. Mediocre goaltending hasn't helped.

USA just straight up outworking the Sweds and taking shots from everywhere.

 

[God]

awful swedish breakout. 5 guys down low and nobody is calling for a pass / the puck carrier is holding onto it for no reason

 

[WTG]

The American broadcast is awful.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Gold Medal Game: “All Swedish, no Finish”

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Curtains for Sweden.

Congrats to the Americans.

 

[WTG]

Shame for the Swedes, didn't deserve this.

 

[Knight53]

Game killing penalty by Ostlund there

Ohgren has been brutal. David Booth vibes

 

[Vector]

Some of the highly skilled Swedes really let the team down.

 

[God]

every single american team has the most unlikable personalities

way to celebrate on an empty net goal, very cool

megan rapinoe vibes

 

[Vector]

every single american team has the most unlikable personalities

And incredibly stupid names.

 

[Kryten]

3-4 gaffes by Swedens goalie that were costly. He was good the rest of the game. Swedens D was atrocious for the 2nd and 3rd including our guys. Lek and the forwards were pretty great but dont play like a team

 

[JT Milker]

Bad goaltending for Sweden, too bad as Havelid’s had a great tournament. Mike Johnson was going on about how high sticks aren’t penalized if you swing at a puck and touch it, but are penalized if you swing at a puck and miss it, because the former is considered a follow through. Is this really true? Dumb distinction if so.

 

[God]

And incredibly stupid names.

i can't fault their names when the WHL exists

 

[God]

thank god the swedes are showing some pride because these american cellys have been moronic

need EP2 to bury someone into the boards
