GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 21 • QF1: CZE (4) - FIN (3) F/SO

[tobu]

Finland is all over the Czechs past few shifts.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Vesa's having a 3-point game and dominated that shift. Tough crowd here.

It was more humorous to me rather than meant to be malicious.

 

[sadpanda]

Thank god the Czechs are pretty bad in their own zone. At least the refs have been pretty good this game

 

[Snippit]

Finnish D looking unbreachable at the moment

Nothing getting past the blue line

 

[Matti_A]

Finns deserve the lead. Quite frankly it would be a crime if they don't win this.

 

[Macbanan]

Czechs will come back, Finland is the better team but it will go to shootouts and then finland loses because of a crappy goalie.

 

[chauron]

Tolvanen's release is indeed so damn quick

 

[DoubleGold]

REALLY impressed with Juolevi today.

He's really grown in Liiga. People were already labeling him a bust.

 

[Jussi]

Tolvanen won't be playing at the Olympics if he can't score anymore.

 

[BB88]

Finnish D looking unbreachable at the moment

Nothing getting past the blue line

Just wish we had a goalie to go with that.

 

[Jugitsu]

That dive though.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Nice freeze by Korenar to not let that Heiskanen shot be a rebound.

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Juolevi has been great this game

Vancouver fans should be really happy their 5th overall pick from 2 years ago is impressing versus a mediocre group of Czech teenagers.

 

[ijuka]

Tolvanen won't be playing at the Olympics if he can't score anymore.

Um, he can generate scoring chances for others even if he can't score... He's been very impressive in this game also. In fact, he's taken part in every single goal Finland scored.

 

[Lempo]

He's really grown in Liiga. People were already labeling him a bust.

He ain't no marble, no.

 

[chauron]

Tolvanen is such a great player

 

[Drew4u]

Not sure why the Czech coach doesn't put Chytil with Necas and Zadina...

 

[Gereth]

Well Finland is no Belarus, which Czechs could overshoot even with their abysmal defense.

 

[BB88]

So Koivula not even on the bench.

 

[tobu]

Expecting Czechia to tie it up, although Fins absolutely deserve a win here so far.

 

[vaiski]

Räsänen is so clutch. Should probably be the captain of this team.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Juolevi has been great this game

He's looked good for sure. Much more composed in all 3 zones -- and that's a sticky note from the commentators.

 

[ursus maritimus]

Tolvanen is in flames

 

[kabidjan18]

Tolvanen is like star wars. Every game there are people saying he is the greatest ever or the greatest disappointment ever.

 

[Dack]

I like Kupari. He seems to create something every time he's on the ice which is a lot more than you can say for 7-8 of the Finnish forwards. Why was he benched the first two periods?
