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

[hizzoner]

Well their goals for/goals against was still way better thanks to the 14-0 win over Denmark!

 

[jj cale]

That was the flukiest series of events I can recall seeing in a while. Full marks to Finland for fighting back but wow....just terrible luck. Wow.

Yep, have no problem with the Finnish win here, I never do pretty much ever, the better team wins, simple as that.

What a weird showing by this team though, like it was cursed or something.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Comtois Karma

 

[1OApick]

We got so lucky. Can't believe this.
We lack scoring but Canada played without heart and lost all puckbattles.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

How the **** do we lose to ****ING FINLAND? WHAT A ****ING JOKE **** THIS TOURNAMENT ITS A JOKE

It’s the ultimate if you win, but a joke if you lose?

Grow up.

 

[204hockey]

congrats fins go get that gold. don cherry was right once again the hockey gods have spoken

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I bought a TSN subscription for $28 to watch this trash?

you played yourself

 

[Sheppy]

Finland posters not showing much class here, I for one hope you go all the way despite the attitude.

I don’t even think it’s really The Finland fans, it’s other dorks.

 

[Stand Witness]

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

Must have made the olympic dive team already!

 

[MXD]

Why in the **** did they let Comtois shoot?

... Actually, Hunter CHOSE Comtois to shoot.
I mean, Evan Bouchard himself would've been a better pick!

 

[king89]

Karma is a bitch. Canada played well, Dipietro amazing.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

He should have had the opportunity. He drew the penalty.

I’m so disgusted at Hunter right now.

If Bouchard wasn’t hooked he was going roof. Great play to hook him up though because there really wasn’t no other option.

 

[Addison Rae]

Barret Haydon and Bouchard were absolutely terrible for top 10 picks.

Garbage, trash.

 

[francis246]

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

They need to start taking the best players possible at the time they are available. No more of this summer camp bullshit it doesn’t work. Go back to the old days where you take the best CHL players in December regardless of who they are.

 

[SwaggySpungo]

Why was Canada wearing black? Looked absurd.

 

[Sol]

How do Canadians expect to get far when there captain is Comtois Lmao

 

[TimeZone]

Finland finally gets 2006 OG final and Saku Koivu's broken stick back. I might not get to sleep right away.

I'm not sure a quarter final game in a tournament with teenagers competing is very comparable to Olympic gold.

 

[Wendelstache]

well, what the kids can take home from this is they can score 14 goals in a game!

Go CANADA!!

 

[Avs425]

Dipietro played great, not a strong team this year in front of him. Congrats to the Fins, Lets go SUI!

 

[lawrence]

How does a team with this much fire power lose is beyond me ! Very sad!

 

[PG Canuck]

Comtois one of the worst captains in recent memory for Canada

 

[Daximus]

DiPietro was a better pick for that penalty shot than f***ing comtois.

 

[lillypad33]

Hunter didn't know the rules about who could take the penalty shot.
Should have been predetermined.
Inexcusable.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Comtois should've dove on the penalty shot.

 

[HanSolo]

Slinging asterisks ?

I think you can assume what I meant.

But let me speak in excruciatingly simple terms since you seem to be struggling:

I didn't make any commentary about Dobson, his performance, or his standing as a prospect. I just pointed out that Pronman isn't good persuasive authority and isnt evidence of anything. If you are trying to disprove someone's claim, it is my opinion that using a Pronman tweet is as effective is writing "Dobson was good" on toilet paper. I like Dobson and thought he was fine so there's no need to get pissy with me.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Tim Hunter has too many punches to the head to think straight
Comtois on the penalty shot??

 

[Saekk]

Finland posters not showing much class here, I for one hope you go all the way despite the attitude.

Huh?
