GDT: Exhibition • Finland vs. Sweden

[JFG]

Deserved win imo

Are you serious? It was a close game of pre season character but to say that Finland was the better team...?

 

[Gentle Man]

What a backcheck by Barkov before the two on one though!

 

[Jim Morrison]

Classic Soumi-style-win

Joking aside, I liked this game alot from Sweden. Total dominance as the game went on. Especially in the 3v3.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Well that was alot fun thanks to Sweden. It was nice beating you

 

[jj cale]

Enroth looked awful. Bad luck or conditioning?

Well, he is not all world to begin with really. But conditioning may have factored into it today.

Won't likely seem him playing again anyway.

 

[McCullogh]

Well sweden were a better team but Finland won.

Agree.
Need Hank.

 

[sethro109]

No Soderberg or Landeskog in OT....... I think that was a mistake.

 

[EK47]

Enroth looked awful. Bad luck or conditioning?

Bad goalie rather

over 23k views so far for an exhibition game. please tell me again how no one cares about the tourney

It's virtually prime time for us Finns and Swedes and the game is on free tv here with nothing good going against it.

 

[vippe]

Not sure I have ever seen such dominance in 3v3 before to see the game end in a loss hah. Great to have hockey back!

Lots of rust as seen. It'll be a better game between the two on saturday

It's because the hockey is back

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Sweden was looking for the perfect chance and got fancy. They dominated possession but only had 1 or 2 prime chances.

Finland just took what came to them.

 

[VoidCreature]

Didn't Markstrom start this game? Did he get pulled?

 

[Quiksilver*]

Darn. Was looking forward to see what Laine could pull off in the shootout.

 

[Canucks LB]

I am so happy hockey is back

 

[vippe]

No Soderberg or Landeskog in OT....... I think that was a mistake.

Not really, Sweden totally dominated and should have scored a goal for sure. A bit unlucky to say the least. Soderberg had a good game though

 

[jj cale]

It's because the hockey is back

And that still means they care.

 

[llwyd]

Well, at times it was good quality hockey but mostly rather lazy tempo and sloppy plays, understandable of course in the circumstances. Pretty good game by Finland, Sweden being the 2nd favourite in the tournament.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Wow Barkov what a play all around leading to the goal. Hes going to be 1 of the better players in the tournement.

 

[JFG]

Sweden was looking for the perfect chance and got fancy. They dominated possession but only had 1 or 2 prime chances.

Finland just took what came to them.

lol what counts as a prime chance for you?

 

[Leafs87]

How was Enroth?

 

[Canucks LB]

Didn't Markstrom start this game? Did he get pulled?

Yes he was pulled at the half. Played really well. No goals against

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Not too bad considering we played half the game with our 4th goalie! Less penalties, Lunkan in goal, no disallowed goals and I'm pretty sure we'll take this when the tournament starts! Great to have the first game done, can only get better from here!

 

[ijuka]

Does Marjamaki know what 3-3 is?
He's playing our slowest forwards there, Jokinen, Lehtera

I wanted to see Laine 3v3. He dominated in it in Liiga and could hardly je worse than 0 touches on puck in first 3 min. For experience during a training match if nothing else.

 

[MardyBum]

And this is why they have exhibition games lol.
