GDT: Four Nations Face-Off III - NO Politics!

[22Brad Park]

Alternatively, possibly.

This is what Canada looks like against non aggressive/physical defensive rosters.

Finland and Sweden are very distant 3rd and 4th after USA and Canada. This tournament tells me this much.

Swedes went to overtime with Canada so not that distant.Not as physical though I admit

That's what Sweden does though. Good team on paper but they always tend to come up small in bigger moments.

See; this past WJC

 

[NeelyDan]

The Finns are trying to bully the Canadians?

no, the canadians are

as in the fans

we have been brutal in supporting our team through this, almost as tho faith in our country has been shaken

and they're responding and doing what heroes do - lifting others up instead of driving them further down

.3 on 3 was big advantage for Canada in my opinion over 5 on 5.

 

[Alicat]

Not a fan of the overhead angle

Currently at work pretending to be paying attention to a video conference call......while watching Finland v Canada on a separate screen.

I love technology....

 

[22Brad Park]

Vaak playing best on best ..Yes I get Finns smaller nation but it's still something should definitely help his game blossom.

This commercial break seems... long.

This commercial break seems... long.

Yep. TV timeouts are longer during this tournament. Intermissions shorter..

 

[Blitzkrug]

Brutal rebound by Lankinen

Seems backwards to how it could be!

 

[Shaun]

pretty sure I heard that @Shaun guy bellowing out, checks out

beating up on lowly finland, sad!


i was joking when i said tuukka should start for finland but i think they may have had a better chance

 

[RoccoF14]

I don't think we'll be seeing Lankinen in net much longer....

 

[Ladyfan]

Go Canada!

That’s always been the case with Hockey Canada during these tournaments. Similar to euro soccer fanbases. Borderline obsession

 

[Blitzkrug]

Finland's coach overreacted to the US loss.

Saros wasn't great in that game but your whole team got its skull caved in. He probably should have started again today over the other options.

 

[TinyRivers]

Sooo, Yankinen?

 

[22Brad Park]

Is there any chance at all Canada does not win this 5-1 etc?

Could be worse if Finns don't start getting some chances

 

[RoccoF14]

Sooo, Yankinen?

Yep. He's really fighting the puck right now and is a rebound machine....

 

[Number8]

Aside from Bennington and Bennett, I really don’t hate anyone on Canada

I kinda do. Nothing insane, but…..

Mitch Marner is a lightweight whiny little smarmy try hard who I’d like to punch in the mouth.

Auston Matthews is a Justin Bieber wanabee and a total Dick.

Other than that, I have no strong feelings about Matthews and Marner, i guess.

 

[22Brad Park]

Be anxious to see how much Rantanens numbers dip without MacKinnon over a full season.No way I pay him 14 million.

Marner doesnt bother me.

 

[Blitzkrug]

You might say aw sucks for Finland.

In reality, they leave this tournament happy regardless since they beat Sweden lmao. Nothing could ruin that for them.
