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

[scotian1]

When was Laine called the best player not in the NHL?

I think people would be a little less critical if he hadn't said he should have been the number 1 pick in this year's draft.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Time for a Finnish PP! No movement, only stationary shooters.



And then it's a Russian PP instead, haha. Oh well, same song.

 

[chauron]

Laine, not really close. He has looked terrible so far. Expected more from what I read on here about how great he is.

Let him adapt to this rink. He'll be there. Not today but he'll be

 

[Luolis]

If you want your country to lose just so you can watch people post on a meaningless message bored about how bad your players are, you have a problem, or aren't really Finnish.

Were out anyway, makes it feel a bit better when you get to see them rage.

 

[snipes]

You got that right. I call him concrete Korpi.

I actually chuckled at that. He's terrible, a possession and offensive black hole.

 

[Make]

Salomäki should have got the grinder's duties instead of Korps. At least Salomäki hits often.

 

[Lempo]

No he's Finnish alright.

 

[ijuka]

Weird, Russian PP plays one timers to Ovechkin properly. And it didn't even take 40 seconds. Finland hasn't done it properly once in 6 matches.

It's so sad both top picks are going to be out of this tournament soon. So very, very sad.

Leafs fans frustration really shows.

What frustration? Team NA dummies Finland, beat Sweden and gave Russia a hell of a scare.

Auston Matthews has more goals than all of Finland. Nothing to be frustrated about. I'm actually excited that he will be at camp very soon and start gelling with Nylander and Marner.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

does the linesman get an assist for that?

 

[MardyBum]

Lol ref assist on that one.

 

[Erikfromfin]

that just made the tournament... unreal

 

[ClydeLee]

and so fitting

 

[oobga]

This game...

 

[snipes]

This is a mystery I'm afraid will never be solved. They obviously didn't watch any Oilers games last year. OR, they only watched 1 where he got a hat trick

There's another Oiler they could have brought who just had 8 points in 3 games. A young Pulju could have been taken.

And Russia scores, it's over.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Oh ref...lol

 

[Plural]

No he's Finnish alright.

Finns, the only people in the world who would pay 100 euros to make sure their neighbor don't get 50.

 

[chauron]

Let's see again in 4 years .. then we'll probably have names like Puljujärvi, Juolevi, Saarijärvi, Tolvanen, Rantanen, Vesalainen, Vaakanainen and others.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Rask

 

[SashaSemin28]

Malkin!!! This hopefully will be it now

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

WTF Laine, that goal was totally your fault.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Now THAT is bad luck.

 

[DoubleGold]

Malkin finally showed up!
