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

[Snowsii]

Maybe both, but Willy.

Rantanen is going to be better than William, and i consider Pulju & Laine far better than Rantanen.

 

[Super Cake]

sorry

10 bad mins against the Russians and team NA is out!

Finland hasn't shown jack **** in any of their games to suggest they will be capable of coming back and winning.

Obviously I could be wrong, but it is most likely over for Finland.

Have to score at least one goal before the 2nd period ends to have a chance imo.

 

[snipes]

Ovi having a good game.

 

[JFG]

What about juniors?

WJC are really exciting and fun to watch but come on, it can't be used as bragging rights when comparing the hockey abilities of countries mens teams.

Our coaching staff has been underperforming badly. Our roster quality is not competitive against top countries without excellent game plan. Playbook needs to be our strength. Now it seems to be weakness.

Freaking bring back Jukka Jalonen.

Yeah, you're right. But they aren't this bad.

 

[Scotty B]

It sounded like they are saying that Hull and Chelios will be given live mics during the second period and that they are gonna have "some interesting interaction with Steve Levy and Barry Melrose about the state of this USA Team"

Kinda sounds like they are promoting a live roast of John Tortorella during the second period of USA vs. Czech

On a side note...Team USA will take their frustrations out on Czechs tonite...probably be all over them...

A day late and a dollar short, as they say

 

[Bigleaf]

Biggest fear of all Canadians - losing an ice hockey game against Russia in Canada - is going to happen soon

Losing against this Russian team? You should be headlining at your local comedy club. You've got a good sense of humor.

I disagree.

 

[Tomas W]

Oh Granlund...bad luck!!

Butbutbutbut... the same players...

 

[snipes]

Bobrovsky has been awesome all tournament.

 

[Make]

The score sucked the life out of Finland like I feared. Need someone to make a big hit or get a lucky bounce. The latter is not happening.

 

[Sentinel]

Malkin is clearly the worst player on the squad.

 

[Plural]

I disagree.

Most don't.

 

[Hzzz]

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Tarasenko line has been great

 

[ijuka]

Granlund can't score goals I guess.

 

[MarVell]

Most don't.

True. Still, I do.

 

[alicia]

Well I had a blast watching Team NA!

 

[snipes]

Finns battling hard out there.

 

[Plural]

True. Still, I do.

Fair enough.

 

[Zamuz]

Aho is really good in takeaways

 

[W75]

Lol, typical Finland.

So hype yet play like rubbish. Finland is good when playing IIHF or those kind of tournaments but when come to best on best, they are the worst.

Finland been quite ok few times, best on best too.

 

[Mitchy]

Nice shift from the Laine line. Hopefully, they can get one quick.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Why is Marjamäki the only one who doesnt see this is our top line?

 

[crowi]

Let's go boys!! The DREAM is real!!

 

[Sorey*]

Sweden >> Finland at senior level
