GDT: Finland vs. USA | 13 February 2025 | 8:00

[Jarvi]

Yeah i mean absolutely that

Atleast you didn't miss on Matthew for Puljujarvi, like us.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Can we get a participation banner? Didn't some team get a banner for some irrelevant stuff?

That joke was a little too Juuse for my taste.

 

[heretik27]

You goons!

 

[1989]

The fact that Mike Sullivan needed a period to realize that the Tkachuk brothers had chemistry is... something.

I mean, if I could coach the USA team, I'd keep the Tkachuks separated until they played Canada if the rest of the team were producing.
Just as an ace in the hole.

When everyone is healthy (read: Heiskanen) I would say it's adequate, but yeah, very thin.

Yeah for sure Heiskanen is the biggest loss in this tournament

 

[tarheelhockey]

Brady Tkachuk and Erik Haula is quite the pair of upstanding citizens to find each other in a scrum.

 

[IceManCat]

Yeah for sure Heiskanen is the biggest loss in this tournament

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

 

[robertocarlos]

I hear Laine is good at CoD.

He needs a fortnight break from hockey.

 

[1989]

40 FINLAND MINOR ROUGH

 

[Mirka the Turka]

This American team is gonna blow Canada out of the water

The Canadiens don’t have our depth. US has 3 elite lines, Canada has 1.

 

[robbieberns]

A man considered a meme of an NHL player in Ristolainen missing the tournament being such a huge miss for Finland is a real sign how much of an uphill battle this tournament was going to be for them

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Suit up Pekka for game 2, or no balls.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Love their style of game. Such old school hockey in them

both on the same team is stupid

 

[Schennanigans]

What a spanking.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Going with the Yankee Doodle Dandys by a million. Maybe even two million.

Grit and togetherness only get you so far my Finnish friends. The talent disparity, especially on the blueline and down the middle is far too great to overcome.

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

The better player, but not nearly as devastating a loss in context of the team he plays for.

 

[Kennedys]

Atleast you didn't miss on Matthew for Puljujarvi, like us.

I missed on this more than you think

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

Nope
US is plenty deep to replace him
Finns have no one

 

[Blanka]

I've seen this Hyundai commercial 4347 times already. Because of that I will never buy one of their vehicles.

 

[maroon 6]

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

I’m a Canucks fan but I don’t think so

USA has so many options on D

Whereas Finland after Heiskanen is a huge drop

 

[Summer Rose]

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

I disagree, in terms of relative value for the team. I don't think Heiskanen is a better player than Q. Hughes, but we're a lot deeper on D than Finland is when drawing from only NHL players, so losing Heiskanen hurts Finland more than losing Q. Hughes hurts us.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Austin Matthews is a great player, clearly the most dominant player on the US

The Leafs are doing something wrong if he’s not making it deep in the playoffs each year.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

This American team is gonna blow Canada out of the water

The Canadiens don’t have our depth. US has 3 elite lines, Canada has 1.

It's not even a question. How everyone can't see it is beyond me.

 

[MNRube]

This American team is gonna blow Canada out of the water

The Canadiens don’t have our depth. US has 3 elite lines, Canada has 1.

If they do it will be bc Canadas goalies are booty. US blueline is not as good as it should be. No Hughes, Faber fresh off a concussion, McAvoy on a down year.

They have McDavid in second line. He's kinda ok.
