[NyQuil]

Batherson beasting.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Remove the mask of Luukkonen and you will find... Antti Niemi.

 

[Canadian Finn]

"whatever the Finnish music is..."

awesome.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's weird for goaltending to be one of our strengths rather than our biggest weakness

 

[Chainshot]

Ugh Comtois is awful

Totally gassed. TSN showing the replay now.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Juolevi... please wake the f*** up. Vesalainen is playing great.

 

[jj cale]

Batherson beasting.

Love the guy........needs a regular shift.

 

[NyQuil]

"whatever the Finnish music is..."

awesome.

I assume it’s some kind of black metal.

 

[agent082]

Valimaki looks better than Heiskanen

Well he does. Doesn't mean he is a better prospect.

 

[Weast]

This is terrible hockey. These kids suck compared to the pros, I don't know why this tournament is so popular.

These players not being the best is part of the fun, it creates more chances. Also it's way more exciting then watching some NHL teams playing the trap for the entire game. Not to mention the stakes are much higher compared to some rando game halfway into the season

 

[Emerz]

Batherson beasting.

Too bad he only had like two shifts in the period.

Yeah you're right. Saw that as soon as I had posted my comment, lol. D'oh

 

[Finnswiss]

According to the IIHF live ticker here the Finns shoot more on the Canadian gaol but without creating really good scoring chances according to the comments here. Is that correct?

 

[Psych0dad]

Let him live, he is like 12

Nah it's not needed. Awful 12 year olds turn into awful teens and awful adults. Best to report the kid en masse.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Finns have more shots from the perimeter. not great scoring chances.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

A goal per side in the 2nd period. Not optimal for Finns, this is a Mount Everest to climb.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Our 4th line looks so much more effective because they are faster and stronger than our D+1 players.

 

[Semantics]

Don't watch it? lol nobody cares what you think.

I have to watch it so I'll look like I know what I'm talking about in HF arguments.

 

[Weast]

According to the IIHF live ticker here the Finns shoot more on the Canadian gaol but without creating really good scoring chances according to the comments here. Is that correct?

The chances have been pretty equal, goaltending is the real difference between the teams

 

[NyQuil]

Too bad he only had like two shifts in the period.

Agreed.

 

[The Macho King]

Joulevi looks... bad.

 

[SullivanT]

Who displaced the goal? Wow that was hard.

So I say that there is a rule that in the NHL if the puck in route to the net before knocked off then it it can still be awarded a goal.
I never mentioned anything about who knocked the net off and you say I'm wrong I prove that I am I fact right. Your lack in ability to have an actual conversation without being insulting though is what is actually wrong here.

 

[jj cale]

Well, it's 4-2 but I wasn't all that crazy about the body of work that period by Canada.

Need to finish strong in the 3rd.

 

[BB88]

According to the IIHF live ticker here the Finns shoot more on the Canadian gaol but without creating really good scoring chances according to the comments here. Is that correct?

Neither team has really created dangerous chances, they've just scored from the ones they've had.

Really disappointing game by both sides so far, talent for so so much better.

 

[DieTomi]

Juolevi... please wake the **** up. Vesalainen is playing great.

Juolevi and Valimaki have been by far the best Finnish D...

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Joulevi looks... bad.

Quick make a thread about this, you're the 1st one to come up with such a witty headline for it also

This is terrible hockey. These kids suck compared to the pros, I don't know why this tournament is so popular.

I started following this tourney way back when it was a bit of a niche thing and people didn't take it so seriously or stake their "national pride" or whatever on it. Was fun to just watch some young talents play their hearts out without all the nonsense. Obviously that's long gone now but I'm still here for some reason.
