lfggggg

 

[MMANumminen]

Horribly soft defence by Pokka and Anttila

 

[Cinderblox]

2-2... Nice goal tho

 

[snipes]

This Gold medal game turning into a classic.

Henrique gets it back after having one called off.

 

[jj cale]

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

Nice work, make them pay for those mistakes.

 

[karlstegger]

Captain clutch

 

[Natey]

Get your own joke, syrup boi

Point proven.

 

[Nexon]

I still have feeling Canadian are taking this this time. They are more likely to bury some of their chances and their speed in OT would be deadly for Finns.

It's been a great game, too much moaning about reffing.

Point proven.

I was joking, sorry if it seemed aggressive

 

[Natey]

You basing this on a whopping 3-4 finnish posters just fyi.

Well my mistake for not pointing out I'm referring to the ones posting aggressively in the thread. We have a few Finnish fans over on the Habs forum whom I adore!

This team Caana has one line and Comtois and it keeps working!

I can't understand the finnish penalty kill. It's been same shit for 10 years, anemic with no one trying to break the opposing teams power play. Most of the teams play pretty aggressive penalty kill and for example, Finlands powerplay is always in shambles because our players just can't make decisions fast enough to actually get any kind of passing going on.

 

[BlackDogg]

Down the stretch we come...

 

[CashMash]

I actually kind of like watching lesser known names when it's just worlds.

 

[Tmu84]

Challenge that Finland

No need this time, it was on site unlike the previous one.

 

[QnebO]

Likely no one from this Finnish team would make the olympic roster.

 

[Peiskos]

Likely no one from this Finnish team would make the olympic roster.

Same with Canada.

 

[mattihp]

Bunting, Hagel and Danforth are useless. Bad penalties, minus players.

Zero assists and 1 empty net goal between the three of them the entire tournament. But by all means keep playing them lol

Why is Danforth there? Not any qualities that were missing. Gallant getting the Columbus job?

 

[robertocarlos]

I predict AM leads Toronto, I mean Canada, to victory.

It's weird because I think of the Finns as a stingy, composed team on the international stage but maybe it's more of a 5v5 unit thing.

Määttä easily.

 

[zyklone]

Not sure if either team has a gameplan but whatever it is they're doing out there it's fun to watch.

Wasn't the first Finn goal 1 second after the PP and the second goal on the PP? I could be wrong.. I thought the Lindbohm goal was a PP?

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Finland is missing like 5 players.

Canada is missing 23.

1 Rantanen, 2 Rask, 3 Aho, 4 Barkov, 5 Laine, 6 Teräväinen, 7 Raanta, 8 Saros, 9 Heiskanen, 10 Hintz, 11 Lindell, 12 Kotkaniemi, 12 Puljujärvi, 13 Granlund, 14 Armia, 15 Donskoi, 16 Kapanen, 17 Halanpää, 18 Tolvanen, 19 Lehkonen, 20 Kuokkanen, 21 Ristolainen, 22 Kakko, 23 Vatanen..

and more. With 1/7th the population of Canada, Finland is actually missing more stars than Canada is per capita

Wasn't a powerplay, just seems that way cause finland often has 6 players on the ice.
