[Steven1562]

Finns pouring the pressure on but no goal.

 

[chauron]

Even my blind grandma would understand what finland is trying. We need new tricks! Bring in Pulju to the other side!

 

[Gsus]

What the **** is with Vatanen? Laine wanted to take a onetimer but Vatanen is doing ****

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Finland has to realize, you can move it as quick as you want around the perimeter, it does nothing.

 

[kary]

Laine just always takes forever to decide what to do with the puck... Its like he is afraid.

 

[Festinator]

Holy crap vatanen, can you set up laine for a one timer with a decent pass? Geez lol

 

[Phil McKraken]

Germany's fun, everyone has named them according to the Germanic tribe they first met. We call them 'Saxons', the French 'Allemagnes', the Italians 'Tedesci'...

Have never thought about that, interesting. In Swedish, Germany is Tyskland which I assume has something to with Teutons then.

 

[KGL]

When will the Finns stop trying to run the PP through Laine as if he's the only option. It's just not working for them yet they keep trying to force it.

 

[Aladyyn]

Why is Vatanen still on PP1???

 

[Plural]

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

Yeah. His PP passes have been abysmal.

 

[Macbanan]

I don't understand how this russian team managed to beat the u-23's. What a waste ifthe N-americans misses the semis

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

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

None.

 

[DoubleGold]

Vatman can't set Laine up. Typical.

 

[Hennessy]

I'm pretty sure Russia is on to what Laine and Finland are trying. Maybe they should try something else.

 

[ijuka]

Holy crap vatanen, can you set up laine for a one timer with a decent pass? Geez lol

The answer is no.

It's very visible when it'd be a good pass and when not. When it'd be a good pass Vatanen NEVER has passed. And there's been probably a dozen opportunities so far.

Buying a Karlsson.

 

[JTX]

What, did this Fins get like 3 shots on goal during that Power Play?

 

[cotopaxi]

Vatman can't set Laine up. Typical.

He's so ****ing bad. Not a single good pass to one time the puck properly.

 

[MMANumminen]

Wut? Korpi what are you doing

 

[MardyBum]

Man vatanen cant set up a one timer to save his life.

 

[oXo Cube]

Russians look like they don't give a ****.

Finns look like they had 0 hours of practice time.

 

[Gsus]

Laine just always takes forever to decide what to do with the puck... Its like he is afraid.

No. It's because he wants the onetimer, but Vatanen cant pass it.

 

[ijuka]

I'm pretty sure Russia is on to what Laine and Finland are trying. Maybe they should try something else.

There was one opportunity and Vatanen didn't pass. Nothing to do with anyone being on to anything.

 

[Lennu32]

Finns pouring the pressure on but no goal.

Story of our lives

 

[Pi]

Finland pouring it on. 0-0 is a good score.

 

[KGL]

I'm pretty sure Russia is on to what Laine and Finland are trying. Maybe they should try something else.

Yup. Everyone is on to it, that's why it hasn't worked all tournament and yet no adjustments are made.
