GDT: 9/20 - Finland vs. Sweden - 3 PM ET

[DoubleGold]

Nice save Lundqvist, didn't think I was going to say that.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Hank looking sharp.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Swedes seem to be protecting 1 goal lead. I like where this is going.

It worked in sochi!

 

[Sorey*]

Sweden cant win a faceoff

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Laine meets King Henry. Love it

 

[JTX]

LOL, EPSN color announcer just made a reference to a "Pizza Pizza" advert on the boards that the viewer can't actually see because it is covered up by a digital ad for SAP.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Is that all you got Laine?

 

[Prntscrn]

Lundqvist aint impressed, Laine.

Oh man think I just might have jinxed it..

 

[Slimmy]

We should expect nothing else from these guys! But Lundqvist was more of a question mark before the game I think.

There was never any question about who would be in net today. If healthy, Lundqvist is starting.

 

[EK47]

Terrible Box play

 

[llwyd]

Hmm, this will get nervous now...

 

[spacemanatee]

great end by the period by lunkan

 

[zeke]

Finland needs you, Laine.

and Leo isn't Leo today. does he feel bad that he concussed Ekblad?

 

[Gsus]

Lundqvist aint impressed, Laine.

Oh man think I just might have jinxed it..

Damn shame the puck didn't elevate more. This is exhausting.

Vatanen gives every second pass to tape for Laine, he's so ****ing annoying

 

[Che vy Teemuchuk]

Laine and Vatanen have terrible chemistry on the PP. They shouldn't be on the same unit.

 

[Slimmy]

Did Tre Kronor win a single face-off this period?

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Better period from Sweden, but still not good. Very close game so far.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Laine meets King Henry. Love it

Unfortunately for Laine, Lundqvist's practiced taking shots from Ovechkin for like a decade now

 

[Confucius]

Sweden working on a shutout. Finland can't even get 1, pathetic

 

[BB88]

How have the barkov line been for the Finns. Haven't been able to watch but am hoping to see the highlights after the game.

Been the best line, but wouldn't guess that by the way they've been played.

 

[JayGould]

If they win in OT they tie Russia and NA in points

How? You get 3 points for an OT win now?

 

[ijuka]

Is that all you got Laine?

It would be so nice if he got to do that more often. It again wasn't properly set up, the pass was too slow so Lundqvist was in completely proper position(Though even with that, if it was a bit higher I wonder if Lundqvist could have saved it). I don't get why it's so difficult.

We see time and time in any Ovechkin or Stamkos PP with their clubs how they first pass it around until the situation is right, then give the good pass for a one timer. There's no reason why you can't have 1-3 good one timer passes almost every PP. Now it's like one per 10 PPs.

 

[BonAppleTea]

Finland needs you, Laine.

and Leo isn't Leo today. does he feel bad that he concussed Ekblad?

He is probably thinking about how every Panther will try to chop his head off if Ekblad is out for reg season

 

[spacemanatee]

and Leo isn't Leo today. does he feel bad that he concussed Ekblad?

he should

 

[Nordic*]

Does anyone have the faceoff statistics?

Seems like Finland has won 95% of them.
