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

[Longbow]

I'm a little worried about Hank, but in general I am quite optimistic. Which is nice for once as I was mentally preparing myself to be humiliated before the Russia game.

 

[Gsus]

I'm nervous!! Let's go Sweden!

You should be!



Lets do this!

 

[Sorey*]

Russia were skating past NA defense last night. Sweden is #2.

Niinimaa babbling over the national anthem, classy.

 

[Padawan]

The one thing I am still wondering... How can Henrik Sedin be a captain by himself? Daniel must feel a little left out.

 

[Lempo]

What a beautiful flag.

Your stream is like 30 sec ahead of mine then.... :/

 

[Hasa92]

I'm expecting us to lose but haven't lost hope yet.

Maybe, just maybe Finland can pull of a win and if we beat Sweden today we can do anything in this tournament.

Streams always lag behind, I'm watching the game from TV.

That's about standard delay if you watch a stream compared to watching directly from a tv.

 

[Lempo]

Great singing by the Swedish audience.

 

[lakai17]

Everyone locking in the Swedes ro win due to their d.

Keep in mind the goalies always for the Finninsh + offensive depth

 

[JTX]

I'm watching on ESPN. They don't care about no furriners anthems.

 

[fredligh]

Henrik better be good justifying benching Markstrom

 

[Hzzz]

When was the last time when finland beat sweden in best on best tournament?

 

[flaneur]

sweden v finland is always some of my favourite games.

Finland has offensive depth? That's more than I knew.

 

[BB88]

So I'm assuming our worst line against u23 team is still the 2nd line

 

[m4tt145]

Good start for D, PP now!

 

[DoubleGold]

Great work Jokipakka, amazing.

 

[Padawan]

PK must perform today. It's essential for this game.

 

[kary]

Lol jokipakka sooo obvious

 

[ijuka]

We look at Sweden's defensemen's placements on HFBoards's Defensemen ranking:

#1, #4, #6, #20, #24, #25.

Then Canada's:

#2, #8, #10, #11, #13, #27

It's pretty arguable whose is better but Sweden gets the edge for me because of their better top end talent.


Alright start for Finland, then stupid penalty.

 

[agent082]

Stupid penalty. Good job JJ.
