[Artorius Horus T]

Finland always starts slow at worlds, then improves through out the games
USA has that up tempo, high, hard press, aggressive style of hockey

4-2 USA. (unless Larmi plays out of his mind and shuts down team USA)

I see 4-2 Finland here. Rantanen 2+1, Kakko 1+2. EN from Mörkö

 

[Nexon]

I think it will be 5-2 for Finland with empty netter.

Let's see if this U.S team can cause some problems for Finland with their speed and aggressive forecheck.

 

[Chainshot]

Bjork dropped to the extra forward already. Heh.

 

[jj cale]

Jalonen just on talking about the 4 week training camp his team had lol.

God, if only we had that!! Man do the N.A teams ever start behind the eight ball at this thing.

 

[Chainshot]

Strong opening shift from the Finns.

 

[Chainshot]

 

[FinPanda]

So far I've lIked our 1st and 2nd lines.

 

[Chainshot]

Mackey with a silly penalty, need to keep your stick under control.

 

[Chainshot]

So far I've lIked our 1st and 2nd lines.

They're buzzing, that's for sure.

 

[AmericanDream]

The one player I didn't want to see here was Mackey lol

 

[Chainshot]

Bonino throwing himself in front of shots already.

 

[jj cale]

Finns refuse to shoot puck on that p.p

 

[Chainshot]

Feels like the Finns are still on the powerplay.

 

[Bruce Granville]

A lot of Finns declining to play, eh?
Aho, Barkov, Hintz, Haula and Heiskanen would add centre depth and a #1D.

Trying to picture Lucic and Myers rolling around our zone trying to stick with this Finnish team.

I've had my nightmare 14 hours before bedtime tonight.

Good for them to show up here and at least it's NHL sized ice, so how bad can it get?? lol...

 

[jj cale]

American p.p.............couldn't have come at a better time.

Don't worry, Myers is usually so out of position he might appear in this game.
