Have we ever seen a diarrhea attack on ice?

No, there was one time where Roberto Luongo had to leave the game suddenly to go use the bathroom. The announcers had no idea what was going on, and he returned to the game after that.

 

[ijuka]

I just saw the interview with Hallam and he didn't know. I guess he started to feel bad during the game somehow

...He got ill during the match? He didn't know he was ill before playing?

I've never just suddenly gotten ill like that, shrug.

He told the coach he was not feeling well. I don't know anything more and tbh, I don't care

...remember that game...was f**kin' hilarious when he was rushing back...everyone knew what had happened and even the Broadcasters were giggling...

one of the funniest moments in sports involving sick athletes, the top still goes to Chan Ho Park. His bluntness, the laughing from teammates and reporters, and his reaction to the laughing lol.

 

[Gjman2019]

Nice bounce back by Finland.

Awesome job.

In Asia it's quite common to talk about the state of your bowels.

You should not google what Gary Lineker did at the World Cup in 1990 against Ireland.
English football players, eh?

Against my better judgment, I googled it anyway.

You’ve never started feeling ill?

...it is in my house as well...unfortunately...

Patrick Laine taking a shot at Sweden.

 

[NyQuil]

He actually meant that he was going to be on the show Big Brother now.

 

[Pavels Dog]

If Hallam has balls he will scratch Pettersson against the US. Totally useless player.

 

[TropicOfNoReturn]

Makes sense, he'll be looking for a new career after his current contract with the Habs is up

Reminds me of one of my favorite Daryl Sutter moments:

 

[Phrasing]

Deal him before the NMC kicks in and they're stuck

Who’s going to take that contract?

 

[Nineteen67]

Would have been better had Finland won in regulation but this a good enough result.

But I want to see EP vs Miller, hahaha

And THIS is why I get pissy when certain posters come on and talk about their stacked paper NHL rosters and act like their teams will win every game 10-0 on the way to Gold. It almost never happens (2005 World Jrs, 2015 Worlds are two good examples).

Finland just beat a damn good Swedish team with a depleted roster and their backup goalie. No one would argue going in that the Finniss D on paper is even close to the Swedish one.

Latvia beat Canada at a U20- a few months ago too. And Finn's made that final with a less than spectacular roster. THIS is why it's insulting to the other 4 or so nations that should be here!

Its funny.. the few times we have had a stacked roster (in my opinion) like 2016 WHC (Aho, Laine, Barkov etc).. we managed to get into the final quite easily. Usually we are just so far behind everyone that we have a less of a chance and somehow we end up proving people wrong.

Finn's make better underdogs in hockey IMO. I'm convinced your coaches view the ice as a chess board... and you will allow certain spaces to unguarded and will protect the areas you deem value to the death. Then the other team comes out and skates in the soft spots and doesn't realize they haven't had a good scoring chance in 2 periods.lol It's very tactical and backed by amazing grit and skating.

Meanswhile, Sweden make beautiful front runners. They come in and just play their system to a tee and run you over. I've had so many Czech losses to Sweden where they just beat the shit out of us in the most fair and polite manner. Here is your 6-0 Czechs and you can't even be mad about reffing or dirty plays.lol

Complete opposites from a Czech view.

 

[leafsfan5]

Who’s going to take that contract?

Someone will bite on his talent and past production hoping he needs a change of scenery. The question will be how good the return can be, not if anyone will be interested imo

 

[ijuka]

Patrick Laine taking a shot at Sweden.

Typing his name right clearly is too difficult even if it literally is in the tweet you included.
