GDT: Game 23: Quarter Finals | Finland Eliminate Canada 2-1 OT

[HolyCrap]

Better team won. Congrats Finland.

 

[clydesdale line]

Man among boys, IMO. That NHL experience really showed.

You saw that game saving stick deflection that led to that goal? Was jumping out of my seat on that play. He was dead tired pretty much played most of that OT. Jokiharju's best game for the Fins.

 

[HOPE]

LOL comtois getting best 3 players???

 

[didimentionlarseller]

is it bad that I was silently wanting Ylonnen to score a hat trick this whole game

he looked good

 

[Dicky113]

Haha, they look happy, nice photo for the 8th place finish

 

[Saekk]

I feel kinda bad for DiPietro, but also i don't feel bad for Comtois at all, so i guess that cancels it out?

 

[Tripod]

Hunter doesn't play Frost at all in OT....just leads the team in points

 

[La Masse]

Dipietro kept Canada in the game. Would hardly call this win by Finland lucky.

Both goals were lucky bounces

 

[Sonny21]

This loss is 100% on Hunter. This ain't no hindsight shit either, as soon as I heard he picked Comtois, horrible decision irregardless had he scored or not.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Utunen you lucky bastard.
You're national hero now.
Thank you Team FINLAND- 1-2

 

[Ace]

Now we have to hear Don Cherry say this was because they scored too many in the first game

 

[BCShark]

terribly coached team, im glad this tim hunter experiment will be over

 

[Hogan86]

Hunter was a brutal coach. Made next to no attempt to change his teams failings the whole tournament.

Congrats to Finland. Great comeback, and a huge win. Like always, the Finns are resilient.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Great job by the finns. Impressive game on their part.

This canada team tho...

 

[El Travo]

Canada needs to get their shit together. It feels like they're too complacent with just being known as the favourites. Hope this lights a spark under Hockey Canadas ass.

 

[PG Canuck]

the **** did Comtois do?

Nothing. That’s why we are upset.

 

[PBandJ]

Congrats Finland.

Looks good on this Canadian team. Comtois and his antics soured this team for me.

 

[JJTT]

Finland getting 2 lucky goals? Whaat

 

[MXD]

... I still don't understand how Comtois ended up taking the penalty shot.

 

[GoBs]

Canada was getting every break in the tournament including PP advantages, schedule including all the prime time games.

 

[Del Preston]

Why did DiPietro and Glass get a watch but Comtois got a speedo?

 

[Cellee]

And here comes the rest of the world to join in a fluke win they had nothing to do with

 

[604]

DiPietro has to make that save.

Oh well.

Tipped over his shoulder off his own guys stick.

Ridiculous to claimed he should have stopped it.

 

[Connor McConnor]

I feel sick. Comtois should not even be top 5 for your penalty shot takers, how do you not have a go-to guy?? Hunter didn't even know the f***ing rule. Terrible luck all game. Also, Dobson played like complete garbage the whole tourney and I'm not even surprised his stick shattered.

 

[jaalru]

They won the whole tournament in 2016....

Beating CAN on home ice, small rink is very much up there.

 

[Brobust]

Oof that was a soft one. Should have played Scott

He's already small. Those types of goalies absolutely cannot afford to go down early.

 

[Emerz]

Canada had no even strength offence all tournament when it mattered.
