PGT: Game 8: Finland 5 - Kazakhstan 0

[JJTT]

Did Honka get cut?

No. Finland still has 2 open spots left.

Who do you think are most likely to claim those spots?

 

[king89]

Honka and Ranta probably.

 

[My3Sons]

Kakko score 5 points and humiliate hughes boy.

I’m not sure if this was intentional but this post reads perfectly in the Borat voice.

It’s going to be a long tournament for those guys if they understand the references.

Does Kazakhstan have any players projected to get drafted this year?

 

[Bonin21]

Probably not lol

Honka and Puustinen were added to the roster, will play today.

Engberg got a one game suspension

 

[EveryDay]

They should give a little more icetime to Ylonen, he got the potential to score and his speed is really something.

 

[hangman005]

So Heinola out and Kaskinen in?

No. Just an error in the OP. The vs. Sweden GDT had that same blunder.

Most apologies, have fixed the OP, I think. Forgot to double check. Feel free to tag me, if you notice any other mistakes so I can fix them

There's a couple I've been touting as late round picks of interest who are draft re-entries. With a decent showing I think a few could definitely be on team's radars.

Gatiyatov

Both Daniyar's

Orekhov



This team has some decent pieces, and plays a really uptempo team game (the majority of the team has been together all season and chemistry in a short tournament shouldn't be taken lightly, and there are like 10+ players from last years gold medal team) including their best players. They don't have a chance tonight unfortunately and I'd bet money they'd lose, but like I've been saying, this team is good enough to beat Slovakia on December 30th, so I expect a competitive showing, and for them to hang around for a period but ultimately lose by 4+ goals. I think it'll be considered a success if they can score tonight, and get to show off their powerplay.

What's Finland's biggest win vs Kazakstan in U20 WJC's.
Only what i remember was 1998 U20 WJC's quarterfinal game in Hämeenlinna when Finland defeated Kazakstan 14-0 or was it 14-1 am i wrong?

I'm going to give you 10 more minutes to google it yourself.

 

[Mestaruus]

Just hoping none of Finland's most important players won't get injured in a game like this. That would suck.

I'm so f***ing sorry if my question ruined your night.
If you can remember something what's happened 20 yrs ago then congrats to you.

I was just hinting that in the time it took you to write your message, you could have googled it and answered yourself. Your second guess was correct.

 

[Jussi]

The distances between the forwards and defensemen on the breakouts are still not balanced.

 

[Blender]

This Kazakh team is quick.

 

[Jussi]

That was quite a powerkill.

 

[Jussi]

Of course it's Latvala!

 

[Newfoundland]

Kazakhs dont look all that bad. Impressed by £9 on defence and the goalie.

 

[SenzZen]

That was unjust.

Not saying Finns didn’t earn it...

 

[Jussi]

Kakko's going to be snakebitten in this game because I have money on him scoring...

 

[Blender]

Kazakhstan clearly lack skill compared with Finland, but they can skate really well and seem to be physical as well.

 

[Jussi]

Winter road!

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

What a shot
