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

[Gsus]

Finland is awful. Now that the goaltending is working, they cant do anything.

 

[crowi]

Only gold matters. Other medals don't mean anything (canadian fans). Finland is playing as they should. Too bad for U23 wagoneers.

 

[ijuka]

I get his feeling too. Not enough creativity. Too systematic.

Too systematic? I got the opposite feeling. Not systematic enough. Dump and chase?

 

[The Missing Piece]

The Conservation of Prowess.

M = 1/O

very underrated comment to the physics geeks!

 

[X66]

Playing on North American ice is too much for the Finns. Going to be hard to evaluate their young talent until we see them adapt

 

[KGL]

You are already giving the US a win over the Czechs?

The Czechs have one point from an OT loss. Finland would have zero.

 

[Divine]

Doesn't matter, only winning counts

Is that why all these Finnish posters were bragging about all their top 3 finishes before the tournament?

 

[Sorey*]

Swedish tv raving over bobovsky praising how good he is

 

[Bear12Good]

In a series of 10 games, Canada would take 8.

I'll give Russia 20% chance to proceed. Entirely possible.

15-25 % normal chance

 

[Breakers]

So who plays who if this score holds up

is it Russia Vs Canada

Sweden vs Europe?

or is the other way around

 

[DoubleGold]

Barkov has always been really mature. Like the guy.

 

[Divine]

granlund has to be the most overhyped player to come out of finland ever, just don't see it with him

I'd argue Patrik Laine is.

about right, that's why it's better to face them in semis rather than in the finals

 

[Confucius]

They are gone. Wait 12 years for the next one

Crap...
Lol

 

[Ingvar]

The Czechs have one point from an OT loss. Finland would have zero.

What makes US better than Finland?

I guess the finnish golden generation might be in trouble

 

[FinnLightning26]

Should've dressed Niinimaa for the game against the Swedes. He could've scored against Lundqvist.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

What I have learned today.

3 games is enough to determine Matthews > McDavid, and that Laine is the biggest bust to ever come out of Finland.

Makes sense.

 

[jfont]

More like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

more like quantum entanglement than heisenberg's UP.

 

[Plural]

very underrated comment to the physics geeks!

I agree. I really laughed out loud when I read it. And that's rare.

 

[Selannne]

1 goal in 160 minutes for finns in this tournament. I think team Norway or whatever country had score more goals than that...

 

[Gsus]

I guess the finnish golden generation might be in trouble

They are in trouble, they're all busts.

 

[KGL]

What makes US better than Finland?

As of now, goal differential. But that could change.

 

[DoubleGold]

Should've dressed Niinimaa for the game against the Swedes. He could've scored against Lundqvist.

My thoughts exactly, LOL!

 

[ViD]

The Czechs have one point from an OT loss. Finland would have zero.

Didn't you say Finland would finish last? the US also has 0 point right now.
