We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Haltunnen has definitely been a disappointment this tournament. I thought he'd be a better goal scorer than he has been.
Kiiskinen allowed to step right into the slot & shoot from 20 feet out. He went low glove. Great shot. I love Kiiskinen. I definitely wanted Montreal to draft him. *sigh*
1-0 Finland. PPG.

Finland absolutely dominating here.
They're cycling the Americans to death. Americans aren't handling it well at all.

Off to the main boards.
Leonard with a hard shot that Rimpinen can't handle in his glove. Hagens driving the net puts in the rebound. Hagens starts that by creating the turnover & getting it to Leonard.
He starts & ends the play. Good stuff.

Bad goal by Augustine. Uronen shoots from pretty far out & is still able to go far side.
Fins score 59 seconds after US ties it.
Hemming with 2 really nice plays on both of the Fins goals.

Ha. Ha. Leonard goes down & looks around like, where's the call, so he hauls down Haltunnen. Now, they're both going to the box. Lol
Haltunnen picked him, so Leonard was upset. Leonard then rubs his glove in his face and Haltunnen goes down. Leonard for roughing. Haltunnen for embellishment. Good call.

Fins lead 2-1 after 1. Shots 13-8 Finland. They are big & strong upfront. Americans seem small in comparison. They are getting wrecked on the cycle.
US can't get anything going unless the big line is on. Leonard & Hagens are driving things. Perreault is invisible so far.
For me, Hemming has been the best player on the ice. Big, fast & he's creating plays.

Hemming is a Dallas pick, BTW. f*** them. They got a beaut.
Kiiskinen was taken by Nashville, but traded to Detroit. Nashville sent Kiiskinen & a 2024 2nd round draft pick to Detroit for Andrew Gibson (RD). Yes, the same Gibson that took the infamous penalty against the Czech's that led to the game winning PPG.

His OHL stats are pretty bad though. I mean Mesar was great at the u20 too but because he did not put the OHL on fire he was an awful pick ...
Leonard isn't big. But he's a bull on skates. So strong on his skates. insane.
