GDT: Canada Vs Finland | 12/31 @ 6PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[Statsy]

European soccer players invented diving.

They’re still the masters.

 

[Opak]

I wonder if this is enough for coach Pennanen to realize that he HAS to throw Finland's lines 2-4 into a blender. Gotta come up with some new ideas.

 

[robertocarlos]

Finland

1: Score first.

2: ?

3: Victory

 

[Jagemon]

So what you're saying is your opinion as Finnish is objective, but Canadians fans are not.

K.

If I see a Finn diving like that, I am the first to admit it.
I have a hunch that you are not that person though so i wont waste my breath on you any more.

 

[Belhammer16]

Get perfetti off the PP. had mcmichael wide open four times

Not sure what you're watching, Byram pass it into his feet and then shoot into traffic. Perfetti has literally been a bright spot on the pp

 

[Prntscrn]

Oi Hirvonen swedish speaking finn, I like that guy!

 

[McDrai]

Craig Button has a phenomenal suit, shirt, and tie combo. 10/10

 

[joe dirte]

Your D is doing the minimum. Your forwards are breaking up the play of Finland so effectively that the Finns are constantly on a 1-2 or 2-3 attack where they should never get past your D.

Yeah i dont know its just the forwards. Ive seen a couple of shaky plays out of a couole of others. Byram and drysdale? Never.

 

[SRHRangers]

lol, wait until you see Button’s shirt

They both went shopping at The Playa Haters Ball.

 

[Alerion]

Zary seems to be firmly the 13th forward tonight. Barron and Korczak are splitting shifts alongside Guhle.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Shots 17-1? You w0t mate?

17-1. But ya, that happened.

 

[Snippit]

Fins playing as conservatively as they are is part of the reason they're facing a constant onslaught. The whole team is at or near the goal line when they break out behind the net. Can't generate much offense like that.

 

[The Blue Baron]

1st period stars!

tomasino
Kerbs
Byfield
Guhle
Drysdale

actually the whole D Corp.

A++

 

[Jagemon]

*Byfield gets crosschecked in the back and is pulling out his own teeth on the bench*
*outshooting 17-1*

"Cheap"
"Canadians dive"

Honestly, just lmao

Ok you need to get your eyes checked. It was Canadian stick that hit Byfield on the ugly noggin. Penalty for Finland for what exactly?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Watching this Järventie, I have no idea how he has 14 points in 19 games in a mens league.

players aren't sheltered because their young in the WJC

 

[ORRFForever]

Finland gets one shot and it's from 65 feet. Wow!

 

[The Blue Baron]

I think Levi did his nails that period lol

Cross checking him in the numbers.

 

[Smif]

Liked Perfetti that period. That line needs a goal.

Perfetti is SO due tonight.

 

[NyQuil]

The constant whining isn’t a good look. FYI, that was a slash on the hands during a scoring opportunity = gets called every single time. Be grateful you didn’t take one for the crosscheck on Byfield.

What’s funny about it is that it’s a good penalty to take.

If I’m coaching, and I have, you tell your player to do that every time.

Better a PK than letting a guy go in unmolested at the goalie.

 

[NinjaKick]

I'm expecting the Finns to regroup... we need that insurance goal

Unfortunately we're a one line team. That was enough to get wins in the previous games, now the story is much different.

We've been offensively challenged all tournament long.

[jonu]

Cross checking him in the numbers.
