Reminder, even though for this game it's hopefully not an issue...

This is not the place for politics. Ultimately it's up to you to control yourself. If any of you get warned or banned for it, don't DM and further waste our time. You all know the rules that you agreed to. Control yourself.

Further to that, that includes talking about how the national anthems are being received. We all know the current situation between Canada and the USA. Let's just focus on the hockey.

If the Swedes play with structure and get a decent forecheck going, they should cruise. The disparity on the blueline is too large to ignore.

Would love another vintage EK game, that was fun to see Wednesday

 

[Razamanaz]

Me myself and I hope for that beautiful proper Finland-named:

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (o' Buffalo fame) to lock 'em Swedes out all, all, all.

But that just maybe me ... that nothin' really rocks and no roll.

But Lankinen will do.

Like a Bat Out of Hell.

 

[Razamanaz]

Erik Karlsson, Victor Hedman and Rasmus Dahlin were there for a hunt for gold in Czechia - actually me in Prague too!

For Finland.

But Sweden were goin' nowhere and that fast.

Czechia killed 'em all and that rather easy.

They - Czechia - are not worth this four nations tournament. By per NHL.

First 2,000 admitted get a free @Summer Rose like.

 

[Razamanaz]

You are a ... summer rose (not close enough for rock 'n'roll!) and bold/bald as Patrik Laine?!

Then I know nuthin' and you're in Trump/Musk nation nowadays.

What does this mean

Sweden with a convincing win. No heiskanen, apparently Rants is under the weather. Saros has been knocked out of the starter job. I’ll predict a 6-3 Sweden win.

 

[Razamanaz]

Can you read?!

Why not.

We are Finland - not Sweden.

 

[catnip]

Finland did better than expected against the US and they usually show up when playing Sweden. Let's say 5-1.

 

[ZEBROA]

Thank u very much US for making the lions angry. They will start with a roar , Sweden will not understand whats happening until mid game. I just hope they will be able to catch up then.

 

[Macbanan]

I don't think for one second that Finland will follow up a 1-6 loss with a bad performance.

They better be on their toes.

 

[Jukurit]

Easy win for Sweden 5-1.

Poor Lesotho, no coverage...
actually I checked, If you are in Lesotho you can watch the game on ESPN3, although delayed

"ESPN3 - delayed airing at 2/13 8:15 am (local)"

I would also say that in a lot of countries you can watch the games for free on official NHL Youtube channel, if there is some international people here, theres gotta be some, i guess.

Sweden's hockey sweaters might be the best uniforms in all of sports

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

In Lankinen we trust. Lol.

 

[LOFIN]

In Lankinen we trust. Lol.

He has been in better form this season.

Kakko needs to play.

Finns need to cut his snus supply.

Thats not snus, this is snus

Yes, don't repeat the Rangers' mistakes. Release the Kakko!

I have little confidence in Pennanen's decisions though. I hope he proves me wrong, but I have a bad feeling about this. Hopefully OJ is the next coach for team Finland.

 

[BullLund]

Finland needs an old school kind of game here, with great goaltending and responsible defending (on part of everybody), in order to have a chance of winning. Sweden took Canada to the wire after they woke up, they'll probably not come into this game sleepwalking through the first half of the game.

The goalie needs to stand on their head, and we probably need to unleash Kakko for improved defense and puck control.

As for Sweden, I think they just need to find opportunities to break the structure and challenge our defenders 1on1 because they'll win those.

 

[LaineBOOM]

TV6 is showing the game here in Sweden.. but.. the freaking Melodifestivalen airs during periods 2 and 3 and family wants to watch it so its 2 vs 1 and I am the 1 that loses

Can one somehow watch FREE from Nelonen/Ruutu? Viaplay in Sweden costs a fortune at least. And no Nelonen is not on my TV as I aint in Finland.
