Will be very rough time with that D for Finns

 

[DearDiary]

We saw Captain Canada, time for Captain America to show us what he's got

Finland has the solution for that

Avi to post off the charts

 

[Zalos]

A lot of people hyping up this USA squad as the best ever put together. Let's find out how they play on the ice!

 

[Summer Rose]

Let's go USA!

 

[hockey20000]

hope finland keeps it close but god damn that d core looks painful lol

 

[mphmiles]

The US is better on paper but I never feel incredibly confidents against the Finns.

 

[FinPanda]

Imagine Nikolas Matinpalo scoring the game winner

 

[Nineteen67]

US should win this tournament, if last night is any indication.

 

[hockey20000]

US should win this tournament, if last night is any indication.

can't say that before we even see them play a game lol.. canada looked good and sweden proved they can hang and fight back the way i see it either canada or sweden can win it... usa probably also but need to see them first.. and finland always performs better on international ice with less talent at every level so yea who knows could upset americans

One of his worst character traits is trying to show what he's got to an unwilling audience

 

[Phosphophyllite]

Kakko as 13rd forward and Laine in 2nd line is hockey terrorism.

 

[NyQuil]

8-0 USA.

 

[JoVel]

Imagine Nikolas Matinpalo scoring the game winner

If Matinpalo scores even a single point in this tournament, it'll be a hell of a trivia question in the future, because he doesn't even have his first NHL point yet.

Canada has to find a goalie.

It's chemistry. Kakko sitting sucks, but Laine is not the guy he should be subbed with.

He has been saving his points for the important games.

 

[mattihp]

He has been saving his points for the important games.

When he played in the world champs he looked more dangerous offensively than he should have. Finnish players getting hyped up on the national team is not unheard of.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Tone will be set when Barkov cross checks Matthew Tkachuk in the head 5 minutes in. No call

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

I would expect it takes a couple of practices more than what we have had so far to gel, new coach, crisis in defence, playing in the middle of the night with nobody in Finland watching... USA by 4

 

[Gabranth]

Teräväinen should be playing with Aho. Hintz could center 3rd line. Drop Lundell for Kakko.

 

[Mooche]

Finland always plays hard. But goodness, that defense, especially compared to what other teams in this tournament are icing, is a tire fire.

 

[teugen]

Yea Barkov what a dirty bum.

Seriously tho I saw someone claiming on instagram comments that Chucky and Barkov are the most dirtiest players in the league, lol.
