Thanks Systemfel! Sorry for the bronze-game lost. So are you cheering for us to win it all?

 

[Finnpin]

Let's Go Lions!

Final(ly).

Thanks Systemfel!

Was just waiting for the official line-ups to drop.

Sorry for the bronze-game lost. So are you cheering for us to win it all?

Of course, my father is from Finland so it's a given.

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Hoping for a close, high-scoring thriller of a game. Go Finland!

 

[Appleyard]

Georgiev over Samsonov is... surprising.

That's positive to hear. Is your dad watching the game?

 

[Russiaboy]

Why the hell is Samsonov not the starting goalie ?

 

[Plural]

Georgiev over Samsonov is... surprising.

I read somewhere this board about a speculation if Samsonov is suffering from some kind of injury. Maybe it's true?

 

[agent082]

I think Finland has won all the tournaments where JVG has had the support song.

Well he did look like he got injured vs. the US when a player snagged his pad and pulled his leg in the wrong direction...but he stayed in the game. So who knows.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

1. Win

2. Play the same way as against Sweden rather than Canada. I don't think my heart can take another emotional roller coaster.

 

[Arthuros]

Cheering for Finland for this one.

 

[S A W F T*]

Puck drop yet? Live scoreboard hasn't started.

 

[jesui]

Hoping for a tight and entertaining game!
Also hoping that no matter what happens there wouldn't be much refs blaming.
They're doing their best, but bad calls happens almost every game.

Go Finland!!

 

[Trotzig]

I can't for the life of me understand how Pitoscia gets the gold medal game after the FIN-CAN and SWE-FIN games.

I don't think the refs "ruined" those games in term of outcome but I don't think they where any good either, oh well.

 

[hototogisu]

Puck drop yet? Live scoreboard hasn't started.

Game starts in 45 mins. 1:30pm ET.

 

[Russiaboy]

Go russia ! Russia got to step it up and play like they did in the second player not like the first and second just standing around watching the play go its going to end up costing a game

 

[S A W F T*]

Game starts in 45 mins. 1:30pm ET.

Ahh. All this GMT crap gets me confused. Thought it was 12:30ET.

Guess reading the OP would have helped!

 

[FinPanda]

One thing is for sure that Aho will score the GWG.

 

[LoveNHL]

Go Finland......

 

[Plural]

One thing is for sure that Aho will score the GWG.

Yup. Other than that, it's 100% open game. Going to be exciting!!

 

[Fantomas]

Bragin is going with the fresher goalie. I am actually not surprised.
