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

[chauron]

Oh fuuuu

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That was beautiful

 

[BB88]

Finland is so strong on paper. I’m surprised they haven’t been more dominant

Don't know how to play on small rink.

 

[SI90]

Filthy dishing there

 

[DoubleGold]

Finland sucks, slow as typical. How sad.

 

[ijuka]

Finland just has been completely unable to really threaten offensively really at all in this tournament.

The guy with the puck tries something while the rest of the team does some puck watching. 1 player plays the game at one time.

You have to assume it's some terrible coaching.

 

[Plub]

Finland's getting better

Yeah, they were on the Power play.....

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Mittelstadt on fiyah!

 

[Opak]

USA just doing whatever they want right now.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

I get Motzko coaches Poehling at St. Cloud but he's getting wayyy too much ice time for me. Providing no offense given all of those opportunities. Hope this changes they're going to need more production from guys like him, Anderson, Yamamoto who are getting prime minutes if they are going to medal

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

There's no coming back with the offense of Finland.
This game is a Mount Everest to climb.
The Finns just have no reaction speed and skating speed needed at this level just because they have played large rink all their life.

 

[King 88]

Well it wasnt Luukkonens fault. Best defence of tournament kill me now please.

 

[julkki]

Luukkonen has been fine, our forwards just suck so bad. First line is miserable, Tolvanen is so lonely out there. I haven't seen anything special in Vesalainen and this tournament hasn't changed it..

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Suck it Finland.

But please do go back to discussing attendance since you won't win the battle on the ice.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Someone needs to teach young Finns how to skate. They are always seemingly so slow.

 

[jj cale]

Was sure wrong about this game, thought finland would start to get things together today and take this thing but they looked just as f***ed up as every other game they have played so far.

 

[TeddyBare]

The reason Heiskanen and Joulevi are shooting from distance is because the finland forwards are either incredibly slow, or afraid to go to the front of the net.

 

[SI90]

Finland coach looks like he failed at a career in modeling

 

[4thlineduster]

All I heard about coming into this tourney was the powerhouse finns with 5 1st rounders on the blueline. Nothing I've seen from that team has impressed me in the slightest this tournament.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice move Samberg.

 

[Woodhouse]

Oh, Samberg, that would've been pretty...

 

[Plub]

If the U.S. can get one 4 on 4 they can turn this into a route.

 

[King 88]

But please do go back to discussing attendance since you won't win the battle on the ice.

There isnt any to discuss about it.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Uhm.. He raised Andersons' stick to andersons face. That's a penalty.
But it sure looks like he high sticked him when it's in real time

 

[ijuka]

Hits himself in the face with his own stick huh
