GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 18 • Group A: USA (5) - FIN (4) F

[Kyndig]

USA looks gassed using 11 forwards...hopefully Brown is back next game. Everything Finland is generating is off of USA changing slow.

 

[TeddyBare]

That Valimaki - Heiskanen pairing is not playing well.

 

[Johno]

Good guy Rasanen highfived them kiddos.

Of course, he is maybe the most humble and levelheaded guy playing the sport atm

 

[Opak]

That Valimaki - Heiskanen pairing is not playing well.

That pairing performs poorly, whenever they have to play D against big/fast/physical forecheckers. Heiskanen especially looks like a player that doesn't like physicality at all.

 

[FinPanda]

Räsänen is so smart guy. I also could see him probably being the nicest guy on our team. Too bad he took 2 penalties.

 

[Lempo]

Good guy Rasanen takes blame for the fat boy falling over without complaining.

Has there even been a scenario in a tourney where a team needed to make emergency additions due to not having enough players to ice for a game? Just curious.

 

[ijuka]

Shouldn't Räsänen's goal have #28 as second assist? I recall seeing that, or did it hit an opposing player first?

No clue if it's even allowed, seems strange to play down a man to start the game.

 

[Lempo]

So, once they tie up, will the be OT?

IIHF scorekeeping is bush tier, they will probably add that assist like a week later.

 

[Lempo]

So did the boys go **** the gameplan and are about odd man rushes now?

Only for goalies according to Bob Mckenzie earlier in the tournament when Canada had d injuries.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Ehh...

 

[MrHeiskanen]

How is that interference?

 

[Martinez]

Weak

 

[Lempo]

Great timing for Finlandia.

 

[agent082]

Only north americans are allowed to play tough. It has been like this 40 years of international games.

 

[ijuka]

So scary every time USA is on PP. I wonder if it's their PP being amazing or Finland's PK being awful.

 

[chauron]

Oh yeah baby yeah!

 

[Zybalto]

What a shot

 

[Opak]

SH goal what even is this!?!?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

WOAH
Koppanen actually SNIPES

 

[agent082]

Koppanen's 3rd goal of the tournament. Impressive.

 

[SI90]

Damn. Perfect shot.
