GDT: Exhibition • Sep. 13 • Finland vs. USA • 7PM ET

[Daximus]

Wow what a last few minutes!!

 

[DoubleGold]

Damn, that was so close. Great game USA.

 

[satbank]

Now that was an intense ending.

 

[Brie]

Argh, bad luck for the Fins but good job by USA.

 

[MardyBum]

No Laine. Makes sense.

 

[stokes84]

No Risto, no Laine for the final two minutes. Lol Finland.

 

[Nordic*]

According to the comments, Laine looks great?

He did absolutely nothing in the previous two games against Sweden?

 

[Heldig]

No Laine?

 

[Jetabre]

Exciting ending.

 

[DaJackal]

Why no Laine in the end? I can't understand.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Imagine having a PP in the last 2 minutes of the game and not having Laine out there for it. >_>

 

[Purity*]

Where the **** was Laine on that PP???

They seriously didn't give the kid a chance to tie it up after the game he had? Just wow.

 

[Canadienna]

6on 4 no Laine?

He would have drained that open net koivu missed.

 

[DoubleGold]

koivu broke his stick during a crucial time, never seen that one before.

dont remind me.

 

[ijuka]

No Aho or Laine 6v4...

No Aho or Laine 6v4...

No Aho or Laine 6v4...

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

USA was scrambling hard there. If Koivu's stick stayed in a single piece, it was an easy goal. He had half the net open there.
Typical Torts win, blocking shots like there's no tomorrow to protect a one goal lead.

 

[armyjoe]

No Laine? Wtf he is the best player to have on ice if you want to get a goal

 

[kunekune]

6on4 and not a single good shot. Why No Laine?!?

 

[Liminality]

Exciting game at the end! Quick had to be really good on some of those shots.

 

[ijuka]

Wow, unlucky Koivu.

Sticks breaking is not luck. It's a mistake.

 

[heretik27]

Finland's coaching is very questionable this game. No idea what this guy is thinking, but I hope he realizes his mistakes now before the actual tournament begins.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Hull and Chelios just crushed not having Laine out at the end of the game.

 

[llwyd]

Where the **** was Laine on that PP???

They seriously didn't give the kid a chance to tie it up after the game he had? Just wow.

Yeah, an interesting choice... I think he probably wouldn't have missed those great chances. Hopefully not injured.

 

[Festinator]

Lmao last 2 minutes on the powerplay down a goal and the coach doesn't put Laine on the ice? Is he ill?

 

[Alwalys]

wow business sure picked up at the end there
