GDT: 9/18/16 - North America Vs Finland - 8PM ET (II)

[WTFMAN99]

I think Russia vs Team NA will be more exciting. Which happens to be on tomorrow

Back to back? That sucks. I would have liked to have seen a fresh match up.

I think that represents a goal fest.

Russia's forwards might be too much for team NA's young defense while Russia suspect D might really struggle to contain team NA's speed and skill.

 

[Brock Radunske]

I know team NA is exciting but Canada is going to smash these guys.

 

[Kratti]

I can't remember them being completely dominated like this in a very long time. Can't even think of the last time?

Vancouver

 

[Plub]

This team is full of 1st liners, franchise level, and generational talents. People should've expected this.

That may be true, but no one expected them to do well.

 

[sepHF]

Has there been one bad player on Team NA tonight?

Gostisbehere makes me nervous

 

[Baby Ryan]

Agreed. They should look to the wily vets on team NA D corp and emulate that.

Nice try.

Whether you like it or not, they aren't experienced enough to handle high speed + offensive skill. I would like Finland to win too, so I'm watching them closely. Most of the D panics and can't maintain gap.

2010 Vancouver Olympics 6-0....

 

[spacemunky]

Team Finland playing on rookie difficulty

Umm... Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Where's Laine?

Careful, you are about to get attacked by Finns/Jets fans. No criticizing the golden boy.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Where's Laine?

Havent noticed him at all 2nd period. Its allllllll team NA.

 

[spacemunky]

Where's Laine?

In bed.

 

[heretik27]

Careful, you are about to get attacked by Finns/Jets fans.

Not really a player on that entire Finnish team that looks great tonight. They're just being completely dominated.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Nice try.

Psst I am a big Team NA fan. Age has nothing to do with it in this game, it's all about skill.

 

[WTFMAN99]

He just dumped the puck

In all seriousness though, I don't know what an 18 year old kid is supposed to do against this onslaught.

 

[heksagon]

Why you heff to be mad?

Yes I admit that I am mad. The reason being I felt these gimmick teams had no place in an international competition from the moment I heard of them. I simply hoped they would've lost all their games so the real national teams could compete in peace, the gimmick teams being this good do not allow that and that leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

It is true though that the Finns have been bad today but a lot of it has to do with team NA being good also.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Hard to pick the best Finn tonight. But I would say Maata would be it.

 

[DoubleGold]

Finland is so, so, so unbelievably bad, I can't watch this anymore. Congratulations to all NA fans.

 

[gerardfraser]

WOW this NA team is just amazing.Living up to my hype I expected.

Quote from me on another forum in 2015

I personally want to see the young guys 23 and under do well.
I think this maybe better hockey than all before.Including Olympics.Yep I said it maybe might be best hockey ever on
TV.
Will it be Olympic hype no,but will it be great hockey YES.

 

[X66]

Where's Laine?

Same place as the rest of the Finns in this thread right now.

Lol

 

[bennysflyers16]

not entirely bad but Ghost hasn't looked good

+3 and on ice for all 4 goals, what he is actually supposed to do !!!

 

[Macman]

On a positive note for Finland, their jerseys are beautiful.

 

[Daximus]

That may be true, but no one expected them to do well.

I did. Anyone that didn't hasn't got a clue.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

Finland is so, so, so unbelievably bad, I can't watch this anymore. Congratulations to all NA fans.

[Ninety7]
