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

You Americans don't scare me. We have a stone cold killer. Some kid named Crosby, maybe you're familiar?

Always interviews like he's waiting for his dealer.

Showing footage from 15 years ago isn't exactly the flex you think it is.

 

[koyvoo]

Meddled.

I mimicked the post who was quoted who pointed out that Canada didn’t metal at this years would juniors.

US was definitely better, but there was a chance the score could've been closer even if we were icing an AHL defence.

Jets are hiding an NHL ready Finnish D-man in the AHL because they don't want to pay him or lose him.

Crosby alone has as many rings as the American roster

2 more Olympic gold medals than the USA roster combined!

Come on man, I've never even heard of this Matinpalo guy. Quinn Hughes to Sanderson is way less of a drop-off than Heiskanen to Matinpalo or Vaikannen or Olli Maata

but if he isn't enough to propel Finland into a Championship win here, thus it becomes a moot point or an indifferent point. In otherwards who cares if Heiskanen improves their defense when they are still the 4th best team in the tournament, On the hand, Hughes can actually be the difference between Championship and no Championship that's why he is more important to the team and really the tournament at large despite Heiskanen being a key cog to Finland. Missing Hughes will possibly be the difference for USA, whereas Heiskanen isn't going to make Finland suddenly a contender.

They had to make room for the charisma-oozing Gretzky.

Sullivan looked like he had some charisma on his upper lip tonight, hope that clears up for him

I've liked Heinola, shame he seems to still be in a dog house in Winnipeg

That was 11 years ago... It took you guys OT to beat the Swedes yesterday.

Sorry USA hasn’t had the privilege of losing to Canada in a final in the last 15 years, I guess.

 

[NotCommitted]

Well, in 2016 they still defeated Finland and NA Young Stars and lost close games to Sweden and Canada.
Besides Russia won gold and silver in the last two Olympics despite it being without the NHLers which is better than any nation

Yeah and that silver they lost to Liiga Finland team.

Look I'm not saying Finland is the better team than Russia, just that there's next to nothing between them in international play for the last 15 years.

FWIW I'd much rather Russia was participating in this tournament than doing the things that got them banned, the tournament would have better hockey and the world would be a better place, but we don't always get what we want.

They haven't played in the past 10+ years, again, weak flex.

Weren't they banned from international competitions for running a huge doping program?

Listen, if you pretend it’s 2017 he’s a great coach!

 

[IceManCat]

So.. if Mcdavid doesn't win this tournament and doesn't win the Cup this year, is he in the double doghouse for Canada?

Haha got eem

I wasn't really correcting you. I'm confused about using metal or medal. So I deliberately used meddled instead of medalled or medaled.
The things are probably plastic now made in China.

Nah the doghouse is too crowded with “The Core Four.”

 

[benfranklin]

Spanking. Canada is next.

Crosby has killed more washing machines than the Russians.

He'll go sign with the Rangers and win there.

I don’t think USA dominated as much as the score was. They got some bounces in the third. Tkachuks goal on the pp from the point with no one in front was weak. Expecting a much closer game on Saturday. It’s nice to have pride but stay humble

 

[Blanka]

You guys haven't done anything since 96. Actually, that's not true. Big Daddy Tkachuk trashed a hotel room after getting bounced in Nagano. So there's that

 

[bdub24]

We're used to this crap!

Got that right homeslice!

That's a huge ask...
