[Beerz]

I can't believe people have said these games are like All Star Games lol

Ridiculous

 

[D Wakaluk]

I wasn't excited for this tourney before it started but it's been pretty damn good so far.

Yeah man. "such a useless gimmick tournament with tired players"

*watches every game*

 

[Hntz]

Positively surpripsed with some of our D-men. Määttä, Matinpalo and Vaakainen have been pretty solid.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Kakko is a beauty when he has confidence

Good for him that he got away from, what was reported to be, a toxic locker room in NY.

 

[karhukissa]

This is why you need best vs best tournaments. You enjoy watching it, after world champs and olympics without the NHL guys, this looks like a different sport.

 

[Aashir]

one guy who I've barely noticed is Pettersson, I thought he'd take a key role as one of the top 6 C and drive play with whoever he plays with, but he just looks like a ho-hum 3C fine with having nothing happen when he is on the ice

 

[NyQuil]

Sit him I've seen enough

Las Vegas GM:

 

[Jukurit]

Aho has been bad. Most disappointing player on Finland.

 

[Macbanan]

Good but cautious game. I think Sweden needs to push the speed and intensity

 

[Luolis]

Rooney + Wes ref duo is some shit.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Yeah this is very low intensity everyone is kind of coasting.

 

[Satan]

I wasn't excited for this tourney before it started but it's been pretty damn good so far.

i feel the same - if i had my time back it wouldve made for a great trip to montreal

 

[LaMasquerade]

Aho has been bad. Most disappointing player on Finland.

Yeah, Aho-Hintz aren't connecting

 

[agent082]

That puck cover was huge mistake. You don't cover puck like that after AAA juniors and even there it is usually penalty.

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah this is very low intensity everyone is kind of coasting.

It’s not playoff hockey but its pretty good.

 

[Luolis]

Yeah, Aho-Hintz aren't connecting

Hintz needs to be put as a C yesterday.

 

[FinPanda]

Sweden getting away with penalties.. Is NHL reffing in general this bad?

 

[Czechboy]

I can't see that slowing Barkov now that I've seen the replay.

 

[forsbergavs32]

i feel the same - if i had my time back it wouldve made for a great trip to montreal

To our defense, this is a brand new tournament and none of us really knew what to expect with it.

 

[j c petit]

Why does Wes McCauley hate Finland?

I think Wes McCauley hates hockey, tries to ruin every game he's involved in.

 

[AirGut]

Did they credit Kakko with the goal yet?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Yeah man. "such a useless gimmick tournament with tired players"

*watches every game*

I griped quite a bit about the Four Nations thing.....but find myself watching with interest now.
Go figure....

 

[Lainestache]

2026 Olympic starters are Saros and Lankinen? Korpisalo?

Saros should be the obvious number one, unless his game keeps getting worse (which i don't think. Nashville is just a mess right now). For the 2nd and 3rd goalie it's a battle between UPL and Lankinen. Lankinen doesn't have a long track record though, but that might change in a year. UPL is already a starter and should only get better, so I don't see a spot for Korpisalo in the Finnish olympic team. Obviously that's just my thinking process.

 

[Fatass]

Barkov knee injury?

 

[NyQuil]

Sweden getting away with penalties.. Is NHL reffing in general this bad?

Well, they don’t make as many phantom calls as the IIHF but they miss stuff like all officials in every sport.

In general I think it’s been pretty fairly officiated.
