WC: Finland vs USA semi final!

[Zub]

I can't understand why Manninen isn't in the NHL. But I am grateful.

He really only has his shot, rest is mediocre, and he's 30 so he wouldnt do to well in the NHL most likely.

GMs are overly concerned about size when they shouldn’t be. That’s all there is. He could obviously be a good NHLer.

Disagree, he has poor vision and mediocre skating. Good shot though.

Disagree, he has poor vision and mediocre skating,, good shot though.

He's got so much hockey IQ it is ridiculous.

I absolutely don’t see the ”poor vision” thing. Skating concerns are valid.

 

[karhukissa]

To be fair, few teams play defensive neutral zone traps on powerplays.

Maybe that's why they don't panic when opponent scores.

 

[mattihp]

That Seth Jones fellow

 

[Shocker]

Woof, nice shot but Lehtonen made sure Olkinuora saw absolutely nothing

 

[jj cale]

wow, nothing happening for the U.S and then just one shot and 2-2.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

That time Farrell took his time.

 

[AKQJ]

Grrrrrrrr. Olkinuora rusty.

 

[AB13]

Nice Erik Gustavsson impression there Mikko

 

[karhukissa]

Nice shot but Olkinuora should've saved that.

 

[Jussi]

3-2! Vatanen!

 

[Zub]

Pokka u useless plug

VATANEN!!!!

 

[kendoman]

Vats!!!!!

 

[QnebO]

Kahvi samiii!! What a shift (or couple!)

 

[jj cale]

Well, Finland was all over them for so long, the U.S gave up a goal there just out of sheer exhaustion.

That was great work there by Finland, fun to watch.

 

[AKQJ]

Vataaaaaaaaaaanennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Shocker]

Jones turn to screen their own goalie, lmao

 

[karhukissa]

This is Finland, USA scores but Finland just plays their own game. Nothing changes, players are not crumbling.

US player went down on the ice right in front of him, he didn't have a shot.

First we give them siima....

And again the high hockey IQ of Finland. The establishment of the attack again excellent, because the Americans expected the puck to go over the left, but the Finns surprised them with a pass to the right, thus gaining zone and pressure could continue. They stayed on the puck, the Americans did not have time to replace all the players and Vatanen turns the score for Finland.

Hasn´t Manninen been one of Finlands best players or point producers in WC`s and OG`s these last years? If he´s a bad skater and small, how can he be able to produce so much? Against NHL defenders as well? Seems a bit odd.

 

[mattihp]

Hereeeee comes the taxman! You need to pay the VATanen!

Yeah, i was actually pleased that he didn't just blast at the defender there
