hf101 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Purely speculation here, but it did anyone lift an eyebrow in noticing that several Swedes who played horribly in their playoff series against the Sharks played so much better on home ice in Sweden for the World Championships? Is it the bigger ice surface, weaker competition?Did they tank on purpose? Were they willing to forgo a chance to win the cup so they could win a meaningless trophy at home?. Tanking might also have a dual purpose, a poor playoffs could also show that Vigneault has lost the room.Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Tanking might also have a duel purpose, a poor playoffs could also show that Vigneault has lost the room.You could really be onto something with this line of thinking. The room could also be fractured by who supports who for the goalie situation too Edited May 20, 2013 by flyerrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 @hf101 I thought the same thing 101, very sketchy how they looked lost in the NHL playoffs, then suddenly took their game to an elite level when the Worlds started. I always wonder about some Euros when it comes to this tourny, it's like the Stanley Cup to them, so you always have to wonder a bit.

hf101 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 @AlaskaFlyerFanlol, haven't won the lottery yet. I'm surprised though that Vigneault wasn't fired a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
