GDT: CAN vs. FIN May 18, 2024

[ORRFForever]

well, we haven't been very good with leads so far so I figure this is 50-50 to happen.

Fixed it.

50/50???

The skill level on all the small things is huge between these two teams, Canada is miles ahead on pass receiving, bord battles, keeping the blue line etc. The small things are making the difference here.

maybe, but Canada still failing to make easy plays getting the puck out of our zone.

Minor hockey stuff

 

[NyQuil]

The most Finnish looking dude ever in the crowd.

I'm a harsh taskmaster for sure.

 

[FinPanda]

I will say we have played a good hockey game against a way better opponent. I'm proud of this team.

Your poor wife.

Your poor wife.

lol, no worries there, never been married and don't care to be.

Canadian hockey is my wife.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

i was wrong, we didn't win

 

[Jukurit]

Wtf was that Puustinen.

 

[HabSgt]

Your poor wife.

Good for you! You saved yourself a LOT of $$$$.

 

[LaMasquerade]

Well.. at least it was a close game.. Now we kind of have to win the last ones.

 

[NyQuil]

Mercer ices it.

Solid effort from Canada in this one.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Mercer should have taken a slap shot on that empty net breakaway. Very disappointed in him. Not very Canadian of him.

 

[JackSlater]

Mercer finishes it. Good game, you'd like to see Canada not start as horribly as it did. A good 50-55 minutes though. Thought that Tavares was Canada's best player.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

GG, great effort for both teams in this one, fun game to watch as a neutral!

 

[HabSgt]

Mercer ends it 5-3

Appropriate for Mercer, he had some good chances today but couldn't score. Like me on a Friday.

 

[Czechboy]

Austria has Norway and GBR left. Finns have Swiss and Denmark.

This is going to be interesting.

Or maybe the Pre-Celly?

 

[Jukurit]

Bedard was surprisingly invisible. Only time I noticed him was when Pakarinen crushed him with a hit.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Da da Canada...

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Or maybe the Pre-Celly?

Pre-celly, followed by slapshot, followed by riding the stick and then the swan dive.

If he can work in the running man... that would ice it.

Way better game from him today, he was effective.

Yes. Credit to where credit is due, they put together a pretty darn good team in 2024.

 

[OKR]

They're doing pretty good considering it's a bunch of kids from Europe vs an NHL team

Well yes, but Finland also preffered players that specialize in those thing when choosing the team.

Säteri’s own and Power’s goals are really stinging now.
