Havent seen him

 

[Opak]

Good Lord. Sweden's goalie had no idea where the puck was.

EDIT: I have to take that one back, what a save by the goalie!

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

HOW did Thomson not score there?!

Swede got to block it in time

 

[Loffer]

OT. Its nice to see other than -nen and -la/-lä Finnish players.

Erholtz, Oden, Maccelli, Thomsen are welcomed change to the established pattern. Can't recall have there ever been more "cosmopolitan" variety of surnames in any Team Finland's roster. Even clearly Finnish surnames contain some relative rarities, such like Kupari, Utunen, and Killinen, while Scandinavian/Swedish surnames are abnormally scarce/lacking in this roster.

/OT

Thomsen is quite Scandinavian though... I thought it was Thomson but I am half-blind so...

 

[GoldiFox]

Svechnikov literally proves that the move works in NHL and with nearly no speed at all. No chief, this ain't it. It has been just underused as all hell and that's why the myth of NHL defenders being able to defend against it was born.

It's easy to defend if the attacking player doesn't have the instincts to know exactly when to pull it off. There is a reason Svechnikov has been practicing this move for 2 years, has attempted it only 3 times in games, and scored on two of them.

Hoglander's goal this game was beautiful. Spanned the whole breadth of the crease at speed. I like all of Svechnikov and Hoglander's attempts this year.

 

[karhukissa]

Swedish goalie keeping them in the game. Or is Thomson just shit?

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Thomsen is quite Scandinavian though... I thought it was Thomson but I am half-blind so...

Indeed.

Also Oden is pretty Scandinavian too. I thought "normal" set of Finnish surnames of Swedish origin.

 

[Loffer]

Has Ranta chances to be the next Rantanen?

 

[Star Ocean]

Swedish goalie keeping them in the game. Or is Thomson just ****?

Thomson has been terrible

 

[Opak]

Swede got to block it in time

Saw it later in the replay.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Saw it later in the replay.

nvm the goalie saved it wtf
watching the game in turkey and the frame rate makes it so hard to accurately see those moments without a good replay

 

[Lepardi]

Swedish goalie keeping them in the game. Or is Thomson just ****?

Thomson has been terrible

Watch the replay and see if you can understand what happened there. That was a perfectly good shot.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Stylistically best Lacrosse-goal since infamous Ilmaveivi and Kiprusoff-likeish half-scorpion by Swedes in the same game.

Hopefully they lose, but that is my absolute limit of salt for this game.

 

[Opak]

Watch the replay and see if you can understand what happened there. That was a perfectly good shot.

Think he meant in general. I'm inclined to agree with him.

 

[Cellee]

I would like Hockey Canada to pay for Finland to get some new uniforms.

Those are atrocious and the Olympics are long over

 

[king89]

Please no injury please no injury please no injury...

 

[Loffer]

Damn, Kupari... Hopefully just a. what is it a "horse leg" ?? Lol. Puujalka..

 

[chauron]

Looked like a nasty hit, might be a knee injury

 

[Opak]

Please no injury please no injury please no injury...

Doesn't look good at all. Hopefully it isn't a significant issue...

 

[jepjepjoo]

looks like Kupari is done for the tournament...

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

He fell from high up after the contact, looks like a routine play but I bet it hit a nerve or smth

 

[Chiarelli]

How’s my boy Justus looking?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Annunen saves the 29th breakaway of the game wtf
