Olympics: Game Thread: Slovakia - Finland

[IceHockeyDude]

The moment when Jalonen starts to think what is not working, he fixes the problem and now it is 3-1 after 0-1.

Suomi were half asleep the first 10minutes but still managed to score 3 goals.

Marincin is tragic defensively.
Dano is a waste of roster spot just plain dumb.
Kondrad is a sieve.
Hudacek a useless primadonna on the PP.

 

[Antiillafire]

Some of these roster choices actually make me miss Liska. And of course Lantosi not being here ​

Watching swedish feed. Thank god for Kim Martin. Peter Forsberg is not made for TV. The man is boring.

 

[karhukissa]

Slovaks should get Slovakian coach who comes from their own system rather than this NA guy.

Didn't know Harri Sateri was Finland's starting goalie. I saw him start his pro career with the AHL's Worcester Sharks. Good kid and I'm glad to see him having success on the international stage.

Atleast Slafkovsky scored, that's all that matters. We never stood a chance against Finland anyway. Slaf was like 2 months old when we beat them last time.

Any comments worth quoting?

He will be an NHL-player sooner or later.

And the game is all but over.

Nope. But Forsberg is not impressed with the players that make out the finnish defense. Seriously? There must be maybe two teams with better players on the backend?

 

[mattihp]

The commentator also likes to speak about a Jussi Jalonen. I am not sure they have read up on the team.

Watching Eurosport1 instead, of course. English speaking commentator. Male.

 

[mattihp]

Slovakia looking hungry, playin simple and effective.

 

[mattihp]

Pakarinen is getting better with age.

 

[mattihp]

Leksa is such a clown. And I love him for it.

 

[Antiillafire]

Finnish fans or really any team should not panic if they take penalties vs Slovaks

 

[Husqvarna]

Uncle Leo ... get's heavy. Slovak power play.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Leksa is such a clown. And I love him for it.

Weird penalty, Leksa was pushed towards the goalie..

 

[mattihp]

Easiest clear in olympics history..

[mattihp]

Weird penalty, Leksa was pushed towards the goalie..

Yep, but by default in the olympics. I was talking about his antics straight from the faceoff He was in his opponent's spot basically.

 

[karhukissa]

A penalty?

 

[mattihp]

That powerplay doesn't seem to have a plan. Are they playing an umbrella or a large box? No one knows.

 

[Zub]

Really loving these Finnish jerseys

 

[elMatador]

Hahaha, it took Slovakia only 1:20min to set up a shop on the PP.
