GDT: Bronze Medal Game | Finland vs Russia | 1/5 @ 5PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[John Agar]

Lets see which Team Finland shows up in the 2nd...

 

[Antonglk]

Looks like Canadian refs installed some kind of device in to the goal which create a deflecting field.

 

[ViD]

Easy first period recap for team Russia

first 10 minutes - great

last 10 minutes - bad

Askarov - perfect so far

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Lundell should have ripped it there.

I'm really trying but emotionally i have zero investment in this game, feels as pointless like a karjala cup game.

 

[agent082]

If your business is chirping your opponent in real time... I totally get that...

I think it is. Same as with fan's whipping boys. You just don't compliment them or angry feedback is recieved. You just say what fans want to hear.

I hope they come home with a medal. It's better than coming home with nothing after this kind of experience. But yea I won't be too upset if we lose.

 

[Svedu]

Nah, not for me. Medal winners will be in the history books. Fourth place means nothing. You win the bronze, that should be enough motivation. To represent Leijonat is an honor. Tsemppiä!

 

[FinPanda]

This game should be 0-0 after first but we are down 1-0. Sad.

After such an exciting game last night, this is pretty boring.

Yep. Top-3 is in Wikipedia and you have to click to see who was the fourth.

Anger happens...

No doubt...

If you have played hockey at a high enough level... you would know when you are on the ice or bench...

It's not for the shy or feint of heart... the chirping is sometimes spectacularly graphic and relentless...

 

[Svedu]

Haha! I´m watching SVT... Darius Kasparaitis got interviewed. Funny guy! But a bit mental too. He wants more fighting and tackles, no surprises there. Has three boys playing hockey.

 

[ViD]

This game should be 0-0 after first but we are down 1-0. Sad.

Should be 3-1 Russia looking at top chances both teams had

 

[Svedu]

I have to admit Russians deserve the lead after the first period. Finland did not have a shot on goal after half of the first period. But the actual goal was Piiroinens to save. Hopefully things change and Pennanen can fire up these tired guys.

I just the goal Russia scored was saveable.

 

[kudla]

I think Askarov grabs a shoutout in this game. That's how hockey works

This has been a clean tournament. It's better they show temper with keeping the helmet on during national athem rather than cheapshots and fighting.

Where is Darius living now... ?

He's was always a character...

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

WAKE UP Finland.
I don't have good feeling of this game.
Next 40 minutes needs to miles better than this 1st period was.

Don't know, I guess Russia. He spoke a bit Swedish though.

What network... ?

 

[c9gunner]

Terrible PP

[ViD]

The shot selection on that power play was atrocious
