[Reds4Life]

Should be easy win for Russia. 5-1.

 

[Zybalto]

Should be easy win for Russia. 5-1.

Almost everyone thought the US would win that easy too....

 

[DaJackal]

Juhamatti Aaltonen has assisted 2/3 of Finland's playoff goals but he is healthy scratched? Weird.

 

[Lempo]

Juhamatti Aaltonen has assisted 2/3 of Finland's playoff goals but he is healthy scratched? Weird.

He skated off the ice from the warm-up. There's some issue of undisclosed nature.

 

[DaJackal]

What has Rantanen done to make everyone try to kill him?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Gusev, 1-0. Good stuff.

 

[Lempo]

Korps great save.

 

[W75]

When attacking, our players are just trying to survive near the boards and outside the danger zone. When Russians are in the offensive zone, they can move and turn just like they want. Team Finland looks like a bunch of mice.

 

[Lempo]

Lol at Marjis "sportdrink" moment at the penalty.

 

[DaJackal]

It took me a minute to realize Russia had PP.

Luckily, it took 2 minutes for them to do the same.

 

[Lempo]

2nd will start with Finn PP.

 

[malkinfan]

LOL TSN thinks Gusev played an injury filled season with Dynamo Moscow this year? Then correct the error by saying Gusev played for SKA, back to back league champions

Glad to know they cant even get the basics right.

Oh yeah, 2-0 shorthanded!

 

[Lataba76]

So bad!

 

[grieves]

Good game. We can't score to save our lives.

 

[matzz]

Oh My...Finns play horrible

 

[Lempo]

Their turtling is pretty lousy.

 

[Loffer]

Team Finland should be subject to a thorough generation change after this tournament. This "veterans deserve to play in the NT" is a road walked to its end.

 

[Lempo]

2 on 1, and no pass. What is this?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

3-0 Gusev, beast.

 

[matzz]

This might turn out real ugly....7-0 here we come..

 

[DaJackal]

I expect nothing and still get let down.

I only feel bad that I didn't bet on this game. Would have been easy money.

 

[Eisen]

Russia in a different class.

 

[grieves]

2 on 1, and no pass. What is this?

I think he was going for a rebound from the pads.
