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

[FinnishSniper]

It was more like 60-40 for Canada but that's still extremely good for Finland. I doubt they've ever been able to play Canada so evenly in the WJC in North America.

What It was like 60-40 to Finland how are you able to see the game so differently. Finns had around 10 A grade scoring chances and buried none.

 

[ViD]

What?

Who cares about that?

It’s about as relevant as the 2018 Olympic Games.

Lol. As you say.

 

[Fred McCarthy]

wow. Just took a look at the score. Finland had been sleeping all tourney, despite being highly touted.

Unexpected.

This Canadian team is disappointing.

I told all my friends the Finns have as good a chance as any and he said I was crazy ..I never said anything to him about the Swiss though.

Canada lost the CHL - Russia challenge

Now Canada lost WJC

both at home

Hockey Canada, we need to talk

happens when u allow politics into the system. kids who should go get snubbed and then you have the ones who suck but get chosen because the coach knows someone in their family or team lol

hunters nose is ugly also/

 

[snipes]

If movies have taught me anything... Canada should have let the guy whose been getting **** on all tourney take that shot and redeem himself for the win.

Everything was set up perfect for it. Hunter had other plans though.

 

[truthbluth]

6Ks was study this game. Dipietro too.

 

[FinnishSniper]

let me repeat

THIS IS 100% ON HUNTER

even calling out 17 year old players in the press ???


**** off

Did he call out Lafreniere? Can you link?
That’s so pathetic...

 

[jj cale]

This isn't best time to ask this but is Tim Hunter any relation to Dale and Mark Hunter?
PS Canada made this very close game but this is hockey sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
Be proud your Country's team and hold your head high.

Some class, good to see.

Congrats on the win CBF, better team took it.

 

[NyQuil]

Lol. As you say.

You honestly think those competitions are important?

Really?

An Olympic tournament without any good players in it and a Junior tournament with a bunch of arbitrary regional rosters?

That’s basically the Russian system

Really?

I just stated the facts. It is what it is

 

[joe dirte]

Both team has been bad, neither of these teams had change to win the gold

Yeah.

Well good luck to Finland!!!!

Well I hope Hockey Canada isn’t losing any sleep over losing the CHL-Russia series because I certainly am not.

 

[Advanced stats]

Patrice Cormier?

Not old enough...you'll have to forgive me

 

[PG Canuck]

That’s basically the Russian system

Not sure how many other systems are different. Everything is politics. It was full of politics when I played midget/etc trying to make a rep team.

 

[joe dirte]

I told all my friends the Finns have as good a chance as any and he said I was crazy ..I never said anything to him about the Swiss though.

Yeah they were expected to be a top team this year. They just havent played like it until now. Some good players there for sure.

That’s so embarrasing, what a f***ing clown...

 

[TimeZone]

Now you're just diving deeper into the denial, bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with your loss

Or perhaps I'm bringing up examples of Tournaments that I genuinely get emotionally invested into.

Not much or an intellectual, are we?

 

[c9777666]

Well I'll be darned. Canada lost.

 

[Club]

Damn I left my buddies place when Canada had the lead in the final minutes of the 3rd. To find out they lost is heart breaking.

 

[Hansen]

YOU CANT WRITE THIS ****
A CANUCKS PROSPECT SCORES ON A CANUCKS PROSPECT

Sooooo Frost is the leading scorer on the team and doesn't see 1 second of ice in overtime. Great coaching

Play to lose and you know what... you lose. Rode Glass and Comtois when Frost line was generating almost all scoring chances in the second period...... Then he goes with the grinder instead of Tippet, Suzuki, Frost or Glass on Penalty Shot. Great job Hunter. He wanted a team that played tight and that didn't generate a lot of offence against good teams and he got it...

 

[Henkka]

Juniors playing regularly against MEN (SUOMI u20) >>> juniors playing against juniors (CANADA u20).

So it's your fault.
