[viper0220]

Go Russia Go

Please send Johnny home, so we can get the contract signed.

Maybe because it was an absolutely clean hit?

An absolutely clean hit? Are you kidding me? The puck was nowhere near Hedman and he took him out right at the knees. Was so dirty

 

[joe89]

I want NA to advance but I fancy a Canada-Russia semifinal aswell. Going with 3-2 Russia.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Can we loan Finland some players?

PK Subbaninen
Phil Kessela

Damn, sucks I won't get to watch Pavel today.

Can someone post Russia's new official game day lines when they're available?

Big thanks in advance!

 

[Padawan]

I came here to comment during another game that Team Finland loses. I'm a the positive one?

Yeah, you are right, I already corrected my post - confused it with that earlier "controversial" hit. I didn't see this one, but from what I've hear, it might have indeed been bad.

I expected Rinne to start. I like the lines except I perhap would have exchanged on the second line Aho for Donskoi who wasn't that bad...I also would have scratched Korpikoski instead of Haula, and Vatanen instead of Lindell

Why? Rinne was brutal ( albeit very lucky) in game one, a five hole sieve...Gave up 4, but coulda been 8...what with all the posts, pucks dying on line, disallowed goal ( which he woulda knocked in himself, if Schefiele didn't help ) his guys making desparation saves for him, when he was outa position...yadda, yadda

i thought Conner McDavidien was going to play for finland today

 

[llwyd]

Hmm, still no game thread at Jatkoaika - I guess this tells quite a bit about Finnish fans' attitude towards this game...

Thanks for the offer, but we will do it anyways.

I think we thought of Finishing names at the same time

 

[Firsov99]

Russian forward lines:
Tarasenko-Kuznetsov-Ovechkin; Panarin-Malkin-Kulemin; Telegin-Schipachev-Dadonov; Kucherov-Anisimov-Namestnikov

 

[Gsus]

McDavidinen and Barkov would be a killer C duo.

Komarov should punch Shipachyov, damn that face is so annoying.

 

[crowi]

Let's lose boys!! 0 effort!!

 

[Nordic*]

How did Komarov not get suspended for that hit on Hedman?

Didn't even receive a 5 min major + game.

Just 2 min.

 

[Jeppe950]

Cheering for the Finns this game, but not because I care much about Team NA.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Let's lose boys!! 0 effort!!

 

[Chimpradamus]

How did Komarov not get suspended for that hit on Hedman?

An even better question following up on that: how did he only receive a 2 minute penalty for that dirty play? Incredible.

I don't know about the rest of us but I come here because in here there are also some opposition commentary.

Barkov on the cycle, McDavid flying at superhuman speeds would make those two unstoppable.

 

[Scotty B]

I wonder where loyalties will lie if it is a CAN-NA on SF...

Divided , Torn, for sure...

Doubtless cheer for BOTH sides...strange as that sounds

 

[snipes]

Let's lose boys!! 0 effort!!

Well, it's ok here, but sometimes quite busy. JA is often also funnier...
