Series Talk: Four Nations Face-Off Tournament

[Freaky Styley]

Classic game of Rants giveth and Rants taketh.

PPG (kinda lucky), nice move to set up the Barkov goal.
Slacked on the backcheck on Karlsson's goal, overpowered and loses his footing in an important OT moment

Everyone's main focus: the move on the Barkov goal and the PPG - the rest will be forgotten by the laymen

 

[LOFIN]

Amazing. So much better than an all star game or some random Blue Jackets/Ducks game.

Need much more of this international best on best hockey.

"It might be a step above the All-star game but not the NHL regular season and certainly not the Olympics"...

I've only seen highlights and bits and pieces but they look like preseason games. They look right, but if you watch for a few minutes you see only a few guys are going 100%.

Saw the winning goal. Nostalgic to see Granlund win it for the Finns. For those who don't live here, he became like a national icon when he scored a lacrosse style GWG at World Championships.

Did Lehkonen get benched or injured?

 

[sethro109]

Pieces of shit?

Always going to overtime.

Not having proper camp before the tournament is reason for that. Players seem to be giving their everything.

I heard he was benched, but never got a confirmation

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Teuvo Teravainen had 5:25 TOI. Erik Haula managed 7:01. Lehky got 10:42.

When they shortened the bench it looks likey threw the baby out with the bathwater.

 

[LOFIN]

I too, would've felt ill as a head coach after seeing that Rantanen goal go in

 

[hockeyfish]

Could be he's also sick.

 

[Jasenr]

It was classic Finland vs Sweden. Zero ****s given to avoid injury. Pure neighborly love game giving crosschecks and tackles

And to top it all Finland winning

Propably the Canada Finland game will be epic ass kicking, but atleast they won once and Rants scored like the good old times.

Hopefully Lehky just sick..

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Hopefully Makar sits the rest of this with the flu.

 

[myperbixhurts]

I guess Lehky wasn’t doing much offensively that’s why he was benched. In this type of tournament where you only play few games, you need to put players out there who will score and provide something offensively, or else you’ll be out. If Finns lost in regulation they would have been out

 

[dahrougem2]

No issues at all with Lehkonen getting some rest lol.

[Tommy Shelby]

So Makar and possibly Lehky hurt. Classic Avs

Eh, his recruiting campaign of Crosby coming to an end, Makar sustains a nagging injury that requires rest. He'll go on LTIR allowing the Avs to make moves between now and the deadline resting until the playoffs where he immediately steps on the ice and skates 30 minutes and nobody bates an eye... because that's just Cale and he actually took it a bit lighter than normal.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Makar is sick, and an entire line of Lehk-Haula-TT saw one shift in the 3rd. They're fine.

 

[Ceremony]

Get Makar to give Crosby his cooties, then he has to go home to Colorado with him.

You don’t think he’s had his cooties shot?

 

[Metallo]

Are you calling Lehky a baby?

 

[drhiii]

If mikko had played even close to consistently like on that scoring play... well... asking too much about what's done and done anywayz.

 

[Gumballhead]

Zibby or Emily Kaplan?

I don't think Emily is bad looking, and who cares anyway, but I'm straight as hell (except on here) and even I can see she needs a good stylist. She's tried so many looks and they all look wrong. Today she looked like Rachel Dratch playing Oliver Twist on SNL.

Zibby kind of looks like why we don't shave the fur off of cats, but the face version of that.

Had to read this a couple of times to let it sink in.

Me too, and I penned it.
