Sweden looks damn good today and Dumba got tossed for a knee-on-knee hit.

Sweden looks damn good today and Dumba got tossed for a knee-on-knee hit.

what a Dumby.


and it sounds like Sweden has Filip Forsberg enroute to join the team as well.
they will be a tough out.

 

[dash]

3-0 Sweden and Team Canada is starting to lose its composure.

 

[dash]

If I'm Kerby Rychel or Charles Hudon, I might think about getting my bags packed.

/Canada could really use Monahan and Rielly.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Bobmac said it a couple of times that canada doesnt have the speed or skill to compete with sweden

Said they have to play like boston plays

Slewfoots and knockout blows???

/only 1 exhibition game imo. They will bring it me thinks

 

[puckhead]

I don't mind them getting beaten like this in exhibition.
Team has historically needed some kind of wake-up call to get into gear.

if it's in the exhibition, against the host team, against the favoured team, all the better.
This will also be an added bit of fuel if (when) they meet in the Gold Medal Game.

what a Dumby.

they will be a tough out.

Elias Lindholm as well.

/Drouin will get better as he recovers from his concussion and Paterson played well between the pipes today. Sweden is returning 11 guys from the team last year, they should be favourites/

Felix Girard is the final Canadian cut.

 

[dash]

Dumba lucky avoiding suspension, in my opinion.

No further discipline on Dumba for kneeing Karlsson

 

[dash]

Canada versus Switzerland coming up in a few minutes.

 

[dash]

Jake Paterson gets the start between the pipes - Looks like he may have supplanted Fucale as the Number 1 puckstopper.

 

[dash]

A Tomas Sandstrom sighting (heck of a player back in the day).

 

[dash]

That didn't take long - Swiss capitalize on a early PP, 1-0

 

[dash]

You can take a team picture in the Swiss penalty box - Canada yet to score on a 5-on-3 until Drouin just did (lol).

1-1

 

[dash]

Drouin on another 5-on-3 PP makes it 2-1 Canada.

 

[dash]

Geez, Ekblad is a nice skater (and a big dude). He would look great in a Flames uniform.

 

[dash]

Horvat with a shorty makes it 3-1 Canada.

 

[dash]

McDavid on a McBreakaway makes it 4-1 good guys.

 

[dash]

4-1 final - Not a great game, but a solid effort from Canada. Defense stepped up today and played well, Paterson was solid when called upon.
