GDT: Finland Vs Switzerland | 12/27 @ 2PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[Luolis]

So is Pärssinen even with him scoring that nice goal he's been very bad outside of that.

I don't think that he's been too bad. Does his job.

 

[Chainshot]

That fourth goal was a beaut too. Great tic-tac-toe passing and shot, so pretty.

I don't think Pärssinen is the issue here.

 

[snipes]

Congrats Suomi.

Well earned win, clearly the superior team.

 

[Zub]

Pärssinen gets Finland's player of the game because of a highlightreel goal, shouldn't it be given to the player that's best performing overall?

 

[Zub]

Disagree, didn't win a single puck battle all game vs a team it should't have been a problem doing.

'
Heinola or Lundell that is.

 

[FinPanda]

U18s cancelled

Nope, not yet at least. Unless you have a source for that.

 

[Lambo]

Well deserved win by Suomi! Absolut dominant game. Could be 10:1 or higher.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nope, not yet at least. Unless you have a source for that.

In a statement, the IIHF said “all 2020-21 tournaments in the lower division men's senior, women's senior, and men's U18 categories have been cancelled.” As a result, the only tournaments remaining on the schedule for this winter are: the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, .

 

[LOFIN]

Pärssinen has not been good, but not terrible either. I still expect him to step up his game when we play against Canada.

 

[Zub]

'

I'd say Heinola but could be Lundell just as well.

Key words here is "this winter". U18 tournament is a Spring tournament, not winter.

I think they are trying to host it in the US, maybe in a bubble.

" All tournaments other than the top division tournament were cancelled by IIHF on 18 November 2020 due to the covid19 pandemic"

So as of now it is possible that the tournament will be played.

He'd fit right in with Montreal. Suck for 90% of the game and then pull some magic out of his ass

 

[JJTT]

Järventie, where are you? Supposed to be our goal scorer, the PP instantly worked without him too..

 

[Hinterland]

Well deserved win by Suomi! Absolut dominant game. Could be 10:1 or higher.

Maybe against the German goalies...not against Fatton
Also, Finnland was quite lucky that the idiots behind our bench played the worst players only. With reverse ice times, particularly regarding forwards and PP, and better line matching this would have been a close game.

Finnland should accept the gift and run. They have a lot to fix if they want to come even close from beating Canada.

My misunderstanding of that. I just saw a headline that was not specific..

 

[Whileee]

I'd say Heinola but could be Lundell just as well.

I think they could probably choose either Lundell or Heinola as Finland's best performer just about every game. They really drive the play.

 

[FinPanda]

My misunderstanding of that. I just saw a headline that was not specific..

During these times is hard to know what will happen anyway. Would be pretty cool see the best players playing in the U18 tournament, should have a lot of excellent players from Canada and Russia.

 

[Zub]

Järventie, where are you? Supposed to be our goal scorer, the PP instantly worked without him too..

He's showing that he's been a passenger in Ilves all along for me People can defend him all they want but i know when i see a anchor.

 

[FinPanda]

Järventie, where are you? Supposed to be our goal scorer, the PP instantly worked without him too..

Yeah he shouldn't be on the top PP.

Don’t think Hatakka has gotten enough credit for how well he’s playing. Eating a lot of minutes and making smart plays all over the ice. He may not stand out as much as Heinola but has been every bit as solid.

Hatakka has been underrated for years... had him behind Heinola and Thomson and ahead of Kokkonen, Honka, Tuomisto for draft ranking got a lot of critique

Finland must not beat Canada! They are strong in K.O.s. This is the reason why the Finns are gain 3 Gold medals in last 7 Years. Not because they played a suberb RR. But this game today was good and i see the team works.

Reminds me of Lindell when Ristolainen got all the spotlight in 2014.
