GDT: Game 19: Finland Vs Switzerland | 1PM EST 7PM CET | SUI 5 - 2 FIN

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Well I got some money for betting against Finland. For some reason they are always trash in the last game of the group.

I thought Finland would cruise this. They seemed genuinely disinterested.

GG Switz, this one was definetally on the coach. It was good hockey the first half from the Finn's, then all the sudden boring 80's playstyle and they just pass forever in the ozone just to shoot a lame slapshot from the blueline, the offensive effort was horrible and PP sucked balls. Fire that clown coach.

 

[Reynys]

So much for cheering for Finland once... Not impressed...

He's a SUI fan as you could probably tell by reading the thread.. but you didn't.

I know he is a Swiss fan and I've been reading this thread... he was a whiner in the Swe-Swiss thread aswell... and bashing Sweden in this thread...

 

[tellermine]

Switserland played some good defence and used their changes. No clear errors.

Not that bad also from Finland, but few errors from defence and goalie.

Basicly anything can happen.

 

[Zub]

Also Maccelli's linemates should be benched, Ranta was a anchor for the Raty brothers aswell.

He has a history of bashing sweden if you watched other threads.

That oldschool boring hockey Finland played was horrible, many shots yeah but 3/4 of them were lame muffins from the blueline.

Maybe they didnt want russia

 

[Jussi]

I don't think I've ever felt less confident about the coaching abilities of a coach after that Helminen interview.

 

[Hinterland]

They're probably gonna lose against Russia and they played awful defense in this tournament but I don't care because of this game.
That was fun to watch. Solid defense, good goaltending and great offensive depth. That was something else and they did it without Gross and with the top line having a relatively quiet game.

Well switserland played even more boring hockey and won.
Far more oldschool.
Keep own goals front manned and counterattack.

So are you gonna claim that those refs were good? Seriously?
Where did I bash Sweden? I didn't even watch the game...calm down

Want me to quote you?

Boring?

 

[aphyro]

Refs are complete trash...literally all penalties they made up. But hey, that's how hockey works in Sweden.

If hockey works like this in Sweden and we still win far more medal than Switzerland you guys maybe should take after

 

[tellermine]

Boring?

I did not find it boring.
It was counter to other post that thinks Finland played boring hockey.

I liked both teams. Good game.

Possible they prefer to play US over Russia, or were indifferent.

 

[Jussi]

Possible they prefer to play US over Russia, or were indifferent.

Or the more obvious: this team just isn't very good.

 

[Jussi]

So we're playing either 13.30 or 18.30 on Thursday.

Tsn had it listed as the first game of the day 630 am est

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Tsn had it listed as the first game of the day 630 am est

And they just changed there mind to the 1130 am game est

 

[Jussi]

Finnish tv showed those times. I think they might move it to the later time since the US is involved.

The description was "disinterested". I didn't see the game.

 

[NekcuP]

Team Finland did not want to win this game.
Avoid Russia would i do too.
