Finland easy win

Hope Hughes is healthy so he can get sonned by Kaapo the Great.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Not a lot at stake in this one. The most important outcomes of the preliminary round are avoided as Finland won't win the group and won't be the last or fourth. To me it really doesn't matter weather we face Czechs or Russians.

Yeah I don't care about it either, maybe I would like us to play against Russia a little bit more though.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Yep. On the other hand a revenge of the Czechs from last year would be nice.

I predict Russia beats Canada.

Want to see Finland rock USA. I have a feeling Kakko and Tolvanen come up big today.

 

[pvr]

Hate the start time and that this game straddles midnight eastern time. Terrible scheduling.

 

[FinnishSniper]

Hate the start time and that this game straddles midnight eastern time. Terrible scheduling.

Well every eurofan has to wake up at like 3 AM to watch NHL games. This game starts at 5 AM finnish time so yeah, NA people have nothing to complain about here

It’s all about the New Years Eve parties and not being able to watch. I’m used to late NHL games out west from the eastern time zone.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Tells something about a terrible scheduling when even the NA viewers are complaining.

 

[FinnishSniper]

That’s true, in Finland everyone’s already becoming sober so that’s an ideal start time

 

[pvr]

That’s true, in Finland everyone’s already becoming sober so that’s an ideal start time

Might as well just stay up!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yeah I don't care about it either, maybe I would like us to play against Russia a little bit more though.

Ehh seeing how the Czechs have played this year there is a pretty big advantage to playing them over Canada/Russia in my opinion anyways.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

What do you mean sober? Finnish people aren't sober

 

[ORRFForever]

Predicting a Finland win.

A lot of quality hockey on NYE - after returning from dinner.

 

[Patman123and4]

USA 4
Finland 2

NA size advantage..

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Not sure what to expect, hope that we could win, but USA has so many good players,
so many players who can pressure us to make mistakes with and with out the puck.

Its a coaches battle, whom ever finds the best tactic, wins this game
we have enough good players to hurt them and vice versa.

UPL needs to have his best game of the tournament and Hepo&Kupari needs smell the coffin and awake the **** up!!!.

Yeah but Finns have been usually good against Russians and even when we lose it doesn't annoy me as much as losing to the Czechs.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Kakko gets 3 today...just a feeling.

 

[Scouter]

Fin's could win, US hasn't looked great so far.

Smell the coffin? Lol, even for an autocorrect that's a good one

Edit: As for the game I'm worried by the Finnish D, not convinced by all of them. And some of the forwards do indeed need to wake up

 

[Scouter]

Oh yeah, I can say the Czech's are most likely going out in the QF, which is sad since this is the best team they've put together in a very long time, coach is screwing it all up, they may not even make the QF, have to win today.

 

[TakeTheBody]

I think this is the worst USA team in a few years. It happens. Even Babe Ruth struck out. USA will be back.

Finland 5-2 tonight it pains me to say.

Gold medal game will be Canada Finland. Canada wins 5-3.

 

[Fred McCarthy]

Should be a good game , the States will be in tough with this very good Finland team. That being said , USA comes alive for this one ..3-1 USA

 

[MarVell]

Fin's could win, US hasn't looked great so far.

Neither has the finns.
