2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup

[Deep Blue Metallic]

There are good penalties and bad ones. That was a good one.

 

[jj cale]

Early yet, but at least the Slovaks don't look totally outclassed.

I think they look pretty good so far.

 

[ORRFForever]

Canada not sharp.

 

[elMatador]

Will our powerplay score once at all this entire tournament?

It's a complete dogshit as expected.
No slap shot, not able to complete 2 passes subsequently, just a harmless wrist shot from a blue line.

 

[Ippenator]

This whole tournament, Halttunen has disappointed. Just hasn't achieved much. Compare to someone like Emil Järventie and Halttunen looks pedestrian.

Even being a first rounder would require a great performance in Liiga and he's on Tappara who's a top contender who definitely will not be handing any ice time for development purposes.

If Halttunen goes to London that could raise his stock but Finnish players have usually taken some time adjusting to CHL.

Now, I know that Slafkovsky didn't have an amazing Liiga season either but I REALLY can't see Halttunen having international performances like Slafkovsky. Even though I think Slafkovsky has his issues, Halttunen is honestly not even close. I doubt he even makes the u20 team.

What are you talking about? Halttunen is in HIFK, not in Tappara. Not that it makes it necessarily much easier for him to get to play in Liiga.

 

[ORRFForever]

Over/Under is 30 shots for Canada in period 1.

Throughout Slovak hockey, same strategy and never works. Yet they will never change it

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Things will go downhill quickly if the Slovaks don't establish a better breakout than I've seen the last few minutes.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Urban came to play... Aggressive

 

[ORRFForever]

Tanner Howe !!!

All of a sudden, Canada can't hit the net.

 

[jj cale]

Man, my feed for this keeps breaking up all the time, sure hope this gets rectified, i'm paying good money for this after all.

 

[Antiillafire]

I feel a Pobezal goal in this game, even if it’s our only goal today

 

[ORRFForever]

That pizza looks soooo good.

Bell?

wild inacurate shots all over, we are not in synch at all yet.

That pizza looks soooo good.


Bell?

I believe so.

 

[ORRFForever]

When I said the Over/Under was 30...

I meant penalties !

wild inaccurate shots all over, we are not in synch at all yet.

Nope. Not sharp.

I say that and then 2-0.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Very dangerous play. Don't like it from any team or player.

 

[Dominance]

Best way to shut a guy up.

Benson makes up for missing that 2 on 1 earlier.

 

[elMatador]

Slovak Ds look all clumsy af.

 

[jj cale]

Benson 2-0

 

[Antiillafire]

Canada keeps taking penalties. Smart, as Slovaks will never score and it will take all the will and effort out of their play

 

[jj cale]

All it is is one power play after another. Who wants to watch that?

 

[FourQuarters]

less penalties, please.

 

[elMatador]

Ok, Eperjesi has become the frontrunner for the Selfish & useless plug trophy.

 

[ORRFForever]

Over/Under is 30 shots for Canada in period 1.

Well, if you had the Under you won - 29 shots.

 

[jj cale]

That was a class A save by the Slovak goaltender.
