GDT: Finland vs USA

[thestudent]

Lundell needs more ice time

 

[serp]

J-Rob doing his thing. Neat

 

[king89]

What a goal.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The shot wasn't that great, but the smoothness with the puckhandling on the blueline was really well done. To make a pass that high in the air die down like that isn't exactly easy.

 

[Fjordsen]

Robertson f***ing genius

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Good pressure here at the end US. Didn’t want to go into the break down two goals.

 

[Zub]

Lundell needs to centre the 1st line, his linemates can't hang.

I want to see a Lundell and Ruotsalainen line, make it happen!

 

[IceHockeyDude]

USA is as bad as usual.

 

[Husqvarna]

Nothing new from the Eastern front (Riga) after the second period.

Except that Finland has the lead over USA by 2-1.
A small margin.

A chap like HIFK:s workin' horse Jere Sallinen doesn't get too much love/respect for his work effort, me thinx - so I'll give him that; everybody knows he ain't a super star per se - but he knows how to play the hockey game and that all over the ice.

That chap is ... dangerous.

It's his first men's tournament. I like the idea of him being a jack-in-the-box without all that pressure.

 

[Gee Wally]

Thread is ‘live’.

 

[thestudent]

Well so what's that Lundell
comment about ? He is in the team and belongs there like everyone else?

 

[mattihp]

Is there any free legal stream? Trying to watch on swedish TV but these commentators are atrocious.

 

[Loffer]

Team Finland faces a test of mental fortitude at the outset. Will they melt down like an ice cream in a tiny hand of a toddler screaming mom in the sun or stand their ground like battle hardened veterans. That's the plot for the 3rd set and it is about to thicken.

If you have a VPN point to country where there is low ice hockey interest like the UK and then watch the live feed from IIHF website

 

[Zub]

USA playing hockey now

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Finland goalie holding strong.

 

[JohnWillow]

Garland having fun on the big ice, great player.

aijaa...

 

[Zub]

Määttä is overall good defensively and can lay some good passes but offensively he's a blackhole.

 

[mattihp]

Finland would really have needed another offensive player. Pakarinen is on the ice almost all the time it seems. He could be a complimentary player if there was an offensive force on his line...

These swedish commentators are so disinterested that they should have asked the janitor to do the commentary. The most repeated comment "The finnish defense help the goalie" well. yeah?

 

[jj cale]

I think the U.S is gonna tie this thing up.

 

[mattihp]

I think the U.S is gonna tie this thing up.

They are at least creative. Finland has lots of guys who could do the puck retrieving and energy at the NHL level, but few who can do anything unexpected.
