GDT: FIN vs. DEN May 20, 2024

(Austria would have to beat France).

Wait, not Great Britain?

 

[Finnswiss]

It doesn't matter whether Finland wins or not. It's obviously better, but even if they succeed, they will still miss the quarterfinals. I doubt that Austria will drop any points against Great Britain.

 

[FinPanda]

I kinda hope we don't make the quarterfinal now. I want this tournament to be over. I'm so terribly disappointed and sad about how this tournament has went so I'd rather watch teams who have the passion and joy.. this Finnish team is so anemic its sad.

 

[JoVel]

Riku Helenius said the most insane thing I've ever heard come out of a sports analyst's mouth.

"6th of August was a good day in Hiroshima if you don't count the bomb". This was obviously a metaphor for Finland's power play getting good looks but not scoring.

There is still a chance for us even if this game is tied, but we do need 2 or 3 points from Swiss.

 

[Jussi]

Just getting to this game now and nil-nil after 2?

It's sure been a rough year for Finland.

We're the only "top nation" with an actual C team" in the tournament.

 

[FinPanda]

We're the only "top nation" with an actual C team" in the tournament.

Our best european players are not playing and we didn't wait anyone from NHL so we got Granlund. It definitely is a C team yep. Maybe even D team + Granlund.

 

[Goose The Cat]

I really thought they'd call Aho, after my beloved Rangers eliminated the Canes.

 

[jj cale]

That's Canada's excuse usually. Not sure you want to go there.

and it doesn't explain the results in all the other top international tournaments

 

[Jussi]

FINALLY! BJÖRNINEN!

 

[Czechboy]

Wait, not Great Britain?

Apologies... Gbr

Ah yes, you are right, I forgot the game against Switzerland. But honestly, do you think Finland will have a chance against Switzerland? I don't mean it in a contemptuous way against Finland, but how they have played so far in this tournament I can't imagine that they will take a point from the game against us (because I live in Switzerland, though I root for Finland too). I'm afraid Finland will lose in regular time against Switzerland and always assuming Austria obtains 3 points against Great Britain, they are fourth as they won against Finland.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Do you believe in miracles?!

 

[king89]

BJÖRNINENNN

 

[Czechboy]

Great bounce or awful bounce depending if you are Finnish, Danis or Austrian. What a game

 

[jj cale]

Finns break the deadlock!!

Finland wasn't bad against Canada, they could beat us

There is always a chance. The game starts 0-0.

Seemed intentional shot.

RISSANEN 2-0!

[Goose The Cat]

Another one!!

 

[king89]

Easy win hehe

 

[jj cale]

That hurts.

 

[FinPanda]

I've never seen Mäkinen so excited and relieved. I've heard his calls before but that relief was so sad and amazing at the same time.

Like I could feel the stress in his voice.

It would probably be embarrassing for Viaplay to air the first Worlds where Finland doesn't make the playoff stage.
