GDT: 9/22 - Finland vs. Russia - 3 PM ET

[BB88]

I have never seen Granlund as good as he's been in this tournament, on the senior level. Looks much faster than I remember.

Thoughts, Finns?

He's always good in tourneys and he's a winger in this one.
Just can't undrstand why he's a shooter on that other pp unit.

 

[DoubleGold]

Donskoi is good

Was pretty invisible throughout the tournament tho.

Thoughts, Finns?

He's been one of the better Finnish players in this tournament for sure. I think he has looked a lot faster too. Hopefully it translates to NHL level.

 

[Fragmuffin]

really good shift by donskoi and maata

 

[Nordic*]

It's almost funny that he seems to be taking all the block and is dying every PK on the ice. This tournament he's blocked 3 shots which have left him struggling on the ice. Respect to him.

Or he's just a big ***** going down in pain, when other players just continue playing.

In Sochi 2014 was better...

What? Don't be silly.

Well, that's what he was in the SF in this years WC. He got a crosscheck from Finnish Dman and fell on to the ice and tried to crawl off the ice in their PP

 

[MMANumminen]

Russian bear has been pretty tame so far

 

[Padawan]

That was a great play by Donskoi!

 

[Gsus]

Lehterä and Tarasenko having some words

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Donskoi best player on the ice

 

[MMANumminen]

Our fourth has been good

 

[Pi]

Finland playing well and their horrible PP goes to work. Decline it!

 

[chauron]

OV was a bit lazy with that one, hooks

 

[Dris]

Lehtera and Donskoi is being a good line

 

[JTX]

C'mon Finland. Capitalize on this Power Play...

 

[BB88]

Now do something pp.

 

[snipes]

Get a PP goal here.

 

[ijuka]

Lehterä-Donskoi are wasted with Korpikoski.

 

[Nordic*]

Finland is the best in the world at getting the most out of the roster players. Russia is probably the worst.

How many Finns would make the Russian roster, among forwards?

 

[Lempo]

I thought the puch was atomized by Laine's shot when everyone were looking where it disappeared.

 

[ijuka]

Again Vatanen shot with one timer when he had good opportunity to pass to Laine. Why does he pass when it's a bad situation and when it's a good situation he never passes?

 

[Plural]

Damn. Score already!

 

[FinnLightning26]

We just can't score to save our lives. Vatanen should learn how to pass.
