GDT: FIN vs. GBR May 12, 2024

[Finnswiss]

Puljujärvi has been excellent in thia game

The Brits seem to fall apart completely now. Although the Brits are no gauge for the Fins, I think it's good for them to strengthen their confidence. Puljujärvi didn't have a good season in the NHL, as far as I know, but in the NT, it looks like he can improve his game. Possibly, Jukka Jalonen is able to lift him up to a higher level.

Yep well sooner or later we were getting a period like this, not had much rest time and losing focus and structure even a little bit will get us harshly punished.

 

[FinPanda]

GB probably quite tired after the game against Canada yesterday.

 

[jonlin]

Brits just got tired. They fought well in the 1st period, but after yesterdays game, a quite small resting-time, they ran outta gas. It was quite clear in the 2nd.

Cool to see Riikola again.

Always found him to be a nifty dman during his brief cup of coffee with the Pens.

 

[Tribec]

It could be said the Canadian's cooled off a bit in the 3rd yesterday having established a lead, but similar to yesterday after a decent first period and on the long change GB suffered. Objective for the final period is to shut the Fin's out and possibly grab a goal some how. This is the sort of defeat we could do without, but it's still a game to learn from.

 

[Summer Rose]

7-0. Ouch.

Puljujärvi has been excellent in thia game

Good to see Jesse playing again, he seems to be skating better than he used to which is really good, hopefully after this championship and full summer of working out he can produce in the NHL.. As an Oilers fan, I am not alone in wanting him to do well, the Bison King has a place in our hearts.

 

[FinPanda]

Helenius has been good as well. He has 1 assists and got both powerplays for us.

 

[Summer Rose]

This game can't end soon enough for the Brits.

Ohhhh interesing Cameron Critchlow plays for UK. The Summerside, PEI boy. Don't see too many pros from PEI these days.

I remember listening to the Mooseheads during the Mackinnon era and he was captain of the team Macks first year.

How many of the goals have come from shots with a man in front of the netminder?? It's simple hockey, and it's proving very effective.

As I said before if we can stiffle teams long enough and keep in the games right now we are in a good position, but we haven't got the talent to turn defense into some offensive zone time and that's killing us. That's the next step for this development of the team.

He's captain of the Manchester Storm right now, only just made his GB debut within the last few months.

How is that not a penalty? Reckless and dangerous play to on purpose push a player head first against the goalpost.
Not that it matters, but that was easily the most reckless and dangerous play in the game. Clear intent to injure.

 

[Summer Rose]

Mercifully for the Brits, it has finally ended. 8-0 final.

Just a bit of f***ing banter mate.

 

[FinPanda]

Oliver Kapanen was so good. Of course it was not the toughest opponent but a hat trick in a game is always impressive.

Puljujärvi, Kapanen and Oksanen biggesr standouts imo.

Interesting snack on the table.

Routine win. Important confidence boost though.

Interesting snack on the table.

Is that a bratwurst?
