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

[1989]

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

Wah.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Quinn Hughes is a bigger loss

Hughes is a better player but not a bigger loss, FInland doesn't have a single top pair D besides him, USA has plenty

 

[Three On Zero]

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.

In terms of teams need, Heiskanen is a bigger loss

 

[heynowbababooey]

Dirty chicken shit play there on McAvoy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

That’s a shitty cross check. Come on, man.

 

[um]

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.

Of all the flaws to point out on Canada, you somehow picked a nonsense one.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

If Sullivan breaks up the Tkachuk’s and Eichel he should be deported

 

[Blanka]

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.

Well maybe Matthews not actually doing any scoring in the playoffs might have something to do with it.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

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

Canada should concede now and save the embarrassment

I agree and I’m Canadian. Your players are all in their prime. Canada has some elder statesman. We used to have vezina caliber goaltending, multiple Norris winners, and elite power forwards, we have none of that now

 

[Summer Rose]

In terms of teams need, Heiskanen is a bigger loss

I'm glad we agree then.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

The Finnish players are soft. Avoiding all physical play or confrontation. Quite weak, US is sensing their fear.

 

[IceManCat]

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

Heiskanen would help but inst impactful enough to make Finland the best team in the tournament. They would still be 4th best with him in there. Hughes on the other hand makes the difference between USA being the best and USA being the 2nd best to Canada.

 

[tarheelhockey]

The Leafs are doing something wrong

Well… yeah.

 

[Chainshot]

Ray, that's where Eichel plays in Vegas too. It isn't just Matthews.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Canada should concede now and save the embarrassment

Nah, we ain't letting them off that easy. They're gonna endure the fire.

 

[Summer Rose]

Okay now this is just getting ugly.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

womp womp .. them boys

 

[Chainshot]

Tkachonks.

I dunno about that man. It took us 40 mins to get going before the dam broke and Finland's defense is like, turbo ass.

 

[rainier]

2 for mathew

 

[VivaLasVegas]

too easy

 

[Felidae]

f*** it just give both Tkachuk brothers hattricks.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hey, not sure this has been thought of, but boy do the Finns miss Heiskanen.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Tkachuk’s killing it as I expected they would
