Viro seems like a funny surname in Finnish. Isn't he basically caled Estonia?

Yes.

 

[ddlennon]

Järventie is so ass just killing every play when hes on the ice

 

[Jabs102501]

Mudrak has been so good this tournament.

 

[Zub]

They seriously need to move Jarventie away from the 2nd line, play dies on his stick everytime or he shoots it 5 feet wide.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Something must be wrong with the ice, players falling over all the time.

 

[ookhaab]

My god Kokkonen is terrible, he not only lacks IQ but his puck handling and skating are also awful. Physical ability only gets you so far.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Slovakia is good team no denying that

 

[Kamzik]

three or four games a day on the same surface taking a toll perhaps. Or the scoreboard providing too much heat.

Coach Pennanen needs to scramble lines 2-4. Outside the top line, we have nothing going on offensively. Lambert tries, but his effort is wasted playing with these plugs.

what's up with him? He had a good start to the year in Liiga.. Maybe just too much deer in the headlights. He is pretty young

 

[Kamzik]

Golian just saved a goal.

 

[Opak]

what's up with him? He had a good start to the year in Liiga.. Maybe just too much deer in the headlights

Or he's exposed as a passenger, playing for a top Liiga contender...

 

[FinPanda]

Just compare him to Kupari or Maccelli who were supposed to be our #1 guys last year. It's like a night and day.

Yes or Thomson..

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Chippy game between sworn enemies Finland and Souvlakia

 

[crump]

Robust play.

 

[ORRFForever]

I know exactly how they feel.

LOL.

Nasty game.

 

[Erikfromfin]

If that was Canada they would find TSN clock somewhere and allow that goal

 

[Opak]

By FAR the chippiest game of the WJC. The refs have their work cut out for them with this one.

Meh not like I expected him to drive the play at this tourney its not like he does it in liiga either but woulda thought he'd be able to use his shot more with linemates getting easy zone entries for him 5v5 and on the pp

 

[Zub]

Or he's exposed as a passenger, playing for a top Liiga contender...

Precisely.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Holy shit this is actually entertaining
Hope Slovakia can make their way into a real contender vs us in the future, they seem like a competitive bunch

 

[ORRFForever]

They'll look at it.

Lambert was the one killing that line in the 1st period. Parssinen and Jarventie had some nice passing plays.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Chippy chippy game, eh?

Looks like both teams didn't watch Three Wishes for Cinderella before this contest.
