GDT: Finland - Sweden

[Kibe]

Crazy pass by Rantanen there at the end, and some well deserves feedback for the refs.

 

[FinPanda]

Best period we have had so its a shame that we didn't score

I've said this before but there are no d-men in this tournament that can stop Rantanen and Hartikainen when they are at it. Problem is that Rantanen is creating maybe too much instead of shooting.

 

[jj cale]

First period looked like two teams who know each other too well.

Typical Euro stuff.


Le'ts get some shots here in the 2nd

 

[Elias40]

The impression that Finland is better only arises because Sörensen, de la Rose and Silfverberg are on the ice. I think. that they were on the ice four times and always had to defend against the Finnish attack. The other three offensive lines keep the play away from Johansson and can sometimes generate offensive effort. It is then difficult to play with an offense that does not skate, does not want the puck and has poor movement. Linus Johansson has no problem with movement..

 

[FinPanda]

Sweden's defense is very impressive, can see why they haven't let any goals in in 7 periods.

Yeah that little tap between the legs back to Manninen was so fast and smart, then forcing himself to the rebound. Rantanen heating up!

That's Hallam for you. If Garpenlöv coached this team Finland would be up 3-0 by now.

Let's get some hits here in the 2nd.
Swedish youngsters carlsson and raymond need to be schooled that hitting does exist in this game

His hand-eye coordination is something else.

I agree, that's an even better idea.

 

[weklof]

Jonas saying they've been the best line so far somehow.

Maria Rooth also said it was a bad decesion to bench Everberg. Sometimes I feel like studio experts know which players are disliked and try to prop them up

 

[jj cale]

Shot total................................................Sweden 2 Finland 2

Maria Rooth might be the only Swedish expert who actually is intelligent though.

 

[Jussi]

Karri Kivi finally noticing how bad the ice is.

 

[weklof]

Maria Rooth might be the only Swedish expert who actually is intelligent though.

Yes, I like her. She usually makes good points, so I was surprised by that statement

 

[karhukissa]

Sweden should take more penalties, they play better short handed

 

[Lambo]

This is Sweden from the 80s!

 

[EK47]

Maria Rooth might be the only Swedish expert who actually is intelligent though.

Well ofcourse you want Everberg to play against Finland
Seriously though Maria Rooth isn’t awful. But that opinion is just weird.

 

[mjlee]

No love lost between Finland and Sweden after the Eurovision. Swedish media claims there have been dark vows of revenge from some Finns.

Kakko>Raymond

 

[mattihp]

Kakko>Raymond

Maybe. I still miss the Kakko who had confidence with the puck and played more straightforward. He is a better hockey player now though.

 

[Kibe]

I want to see a replay of that. Seemed like a clean hit.

 

[EK47]

Raymond waking up.
