Datsyuk2Zetterberg 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 BAG is a ******* idiot (Weinhandl, Tallinder, Paulsson all on in the final 5), meanwhile Ericksson, Franzen sit on the bench. ******* pathetic. Hope Sammy calls them just to rub it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) What a disapointing day.... Czeck's done, Russia gone, Sweden out... I have no reason to watch this tournament anymore. Crosby going to get a shot at the gold, sickening. A Slovakia upset of Canada is the only thing that can save the day. The Olympics aren't being nice to the Wings.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 McGuire: "It's really weird on the swedish bench, 3minutes left and there's no sense of urgency, and no communication between coaching staff and players" That sums it up for me... BÃ…G the biggest joke ever Well BAG had a questionable act of saying, "Oh, you're considering other coaches for my spot? Well I quit! I'm taking my ball and I'm going home." How are the players supposed to play for a guy like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted February 25, 2010 While we're on the subject of questionable coaching jobs, Sweden's coaching was TERRIBLE. Their primary offensive strategy was as follows: 1) Get the puck behind the net 2) Center the puck to the front of the net They tried that 50 times, and that's no exaggeration. Sweden's coach apparently didn't realize that the point could be used for something other than a waystation to get the puck behind the net. I imagine it took Slovakia's couch, oh, about five minutes to puzzle it out, and I'm pretty sure he put extra lockdown on that strategy after the ONE time that it worked. In response, Sweden's coach kept trying it for the entire time, whilst Slovakia was successful in varying its strategy. Horrible. The team would have been better off letting Lidstrom do the coaching in-between shifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 And Nick Lidstrom, where's the leadership... you were awful this whole tournament... pathetic. Don't know about the whole tournament but yeah he had a bad game today. On the flip side, Forsberg looked amazing. Too bad we didn't win because I think he would have become even better in the upcoming games. BAG really made a couple of big mistakes. Weinhandl should have been Samuelsson. He shouldn't have had 8 defenders. With Modin out the lines were scrambled all game, which is never good. A 13th forward would have solved that. Why didn't he put out Forsberg-Zetterberg-Franzen-Lidstrom-Kronwall? Atleast on the PP.. when he finally did something with the lines, moving Franzen up, it was a bit too late. Glad BAG is on the way out atleast. However Per Marts isn't great at feeling out who is hot and who is not and usually just rolls lines like BAG does.

SweWings 45 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Disgrace. Where's the energy that Canada showed even after the 6-1 goal? The happiness? The urge to get that next goal? Not to mention BÃ…G's coaching which was just stupid. Extremely disappointed with Sweden's performance and the fact that I sacrificed all but 3 hours of sleep for this crap just makes me even more hateful. f*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 So which one was more upsetting? Belarus or Slovakia? Eh... for Belarus the question was just how many goals we would win by, and we lost. The team looked TERRIBLE in that game. I was saying before this game to all my friends that I was really worried. Before the tournament I picked Slovakia as the "upset team" of the tournament. And I'm always right. This was not unexpected at all to me. And Sweden didn't play a bad game. A few mistakes that Slovakia took full advantage of lead to a loss. I'm upset but I'll get over it. I wanted to see this team play mroe games. We won gold 2006 so I didn't expect us to this time, but I really just wanted to watch 2 more games with this team. The best Swedish national team ever (on paper). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
