GDT: FIN vs. DEN May 20, 2024

[FinPanda]

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

True. But I don't think it's about that. I feel like its mostly that we were tied for so long against Denmark..

 

[Finnswiss]

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

Ok, I understand your argument. You can be right of course. I'm rather pessimistic for Finland but maybe they surprise me and punish me with lies.

If we win this game, only getting 1 point from Switzerland would be enough too. The games against Switzerland have been very close recently. 3-2 game and some ties as well.

Lot of you writing off Finland too soon. Save that for Thursday and see if they are still there. No way they are losing 10-0 in quarters.

I know, you are right. Sweden and Finland have always been difficult games for Switzerland, Sweden even more than Finland. I would be glad if Finland could reach the quarterfinal and I'm wrong. In theory, my dream final Switzerland-Finland would still be possible, but Finland would face Sweden in the quarterfinal.......And Switzerland USA or Germany.....

The windows 95 guys are the heroes Finland needs right now

I'm not even worried about Sweden. I would be happy if we make it into the quarterfinal now. That should say everything about how Finland has played recently.

 

[Jussi]

No Razzmatazz, no goals for Denmark.
Spoke too soon.

 

[Czechboy]

That hit 3 things before back of net.lol

 

[Jussi]

Jormakka seals it.

 

[Czechboy]

Tape to tape pass for the ENG.

 

[Czechboy]

Good job Finland tomorrow... Totally fine if you want to beat the Swiss in regulation!

 

[FinPanda]

We have a chance! I'm happy, terrible 1st and 2nd period though.

 

[Jussi]

Well this explains Denmark scoring:

Finland only needs to tie the game in regular time and lose in overtime to earn one point and advance to the quarterfinals. However, they cannot place higher than fourth, even if they win in regular time.

Yes... But a clean win guarantees the czechs second place regardless of what Canada does to us.lol

 

[mattihp]

I don't know if there are two less likely goal scorers than Björninen and Rissanen.

Ah, I see. Wish your team good luck against Canada. It would be funny if Finlands wins in regular time and the Czechs too against Canada. Then Canada would finish the preliminary round as second while Switzerland remains third. For Switzerland it doesn't matter whether they are ranked 2nd or 3rd, first place is anyway no longer possible for Switzerland in their group and it's not a big difference if they play against the USA or Germany in the quarterfinal.

But maybe is Germany the "easier" opponent than the USA for the Czechs.

It was Jormakka's first goal in WHC I believe so all three quite unlikely
