No Mörkö

Nättinen playing?

Rajala not ready or just getting Nättinen some action early on so that he is ready if needed?

I'm guessing it's because of Rajala joining the team late. A COVID scare sidelined three players from regular preparation, and all three are out of this lineup (even though they're all deemed healthy) - I think we can draw the conclusions from that.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Vats to get a hatty

SLAFFFFFFKOVSKKYYYYYYYYY

 

[Exarz]

Wakey wakey

Finland still with no shot on goal.

Loving the Slovak forchecking and neutral zone play. Fins having trouble getting into the offensive zone.

 

[karhukissa]

UFA line! 1-1

I like how we are playing but I still believe this game ends up 4-1 for Finn’s

 

[elMatador]

Dano with a stupid penalty as expected.

 

[tobu]

Nice PP goal.

 

[Antiillafire]

Finland too much NHL talent for Slovaks I’m afraid. Without guys like Studenic, Ruzicka. This game won’t be won

 

[karhukissa]

You don't want to take penalties against this FIN team. Lehtonen and Vatanen are 2 best d-men in the Europe for PP

Slovakia is usually a hard fight for Finland, no matter if Finland gets a better team or not. Slovakia's way of playing defense and forcing the puck out of their own zone usually shows.

 

[karhukissa]

Stupid penalty, Slovak chance to equalize

 

[Antiillafire]

Pathetic powerplay. But what’s new for Slovak hockey. Hey Ramsay why play the old bums on the PP?

 

[Oberyn Martell]

hahaha my god 2 minutes 5 on 3 and then getting scored on right after

It's getting close.

 

[elMatador]

Konrad is trash. Put Rybar in.

 

[Husqvarna]

Smack!

Finland - Slovakia 3-1.

 

[karhukissa]

If this isn't a morale killer then i don't know what is

 

[Antiillafire]

Konrad is trash. Put Rybar in.

I never had him making this team. Don’t understand why Slovak fans love him so much. He’s so slow

 

[Antiillafire]

No Slafkovsky on that 5 on 3 yet Hudacek is out there full 2 mins. Laughably bad

I don't think you can find a regular elite division team with worse powerplays than us.
