He was "thrown violently" into the boards. It was a violent hit, for sure, but he turned right into it and was right up against the boards. Boarding is generally 3 ft from the boards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satchmo Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Well, my Swedish genes are happy. I'm also happy the Swedish Canucks prospects did well. The rest of me is very, very sad and disappointed It ain't over yet though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Sweden still hasnt surrendered a goal in this tournament, good thing we have probably the two best defensive players on the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Maybe unpatriotic but I'm cheering for the Swedes. I'll save the patriotism for best on best. That's when it really counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 On a serious note I wouldn't mind spending a mid-late round pick on Rousseau. Score would've been a lot worse without him and some of the saves he's made so far are insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarding is generally 3 ft from the boards I think that was at least a 2 min penalty. Reason being was that IF the Canadian player hadn't turned sideways at the last second, it would have been a full blown violent hit from behind into the boards, on the numbers. The Swede actually started the hit right on the numbers but the Canadian was in the process of turning. It was still a dangerous play that hockey should be trying to eliminate. But all in all, the Swedes deserved the win. And our prospects put on a good show. I just can't NOT cheer for Canada. It's built into my DNA, but I'm also stoked to see how our prospects are helping their team win 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great for their confidence heading into the NHL. I support the Vancouver Canucks first and foremost. My only goal left in life is for Vancouver to win a Stanley Cup.

But he did turn and he did t get hit from behind. You can't get penalized for what might have happened The IIHF is very diligent and always errs on the side of caution with dangerous hits. They took 5 mins to review it and decided it was legal. That says a lot to me Edited December 29, 2023 by stawns 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say Elias Pettersson never makes the NHL, Lekkerimaki gets traded and Willander becomes a 3rd pairing D. These guys don't technically even play for the Canucks yet. I'm just surprised and little disappointed seeing so many people here saying they are cheering for Sweden. I see a lack of patriotism and Canadian pride. These are our Canadian children and they should have our support. We can still cheer for Canucks prospects to have individual success, world Junior tournaments don't make or break NHL careers anyways so might as well cheer for your own home country imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
