Olympics: Game Thread: Slovakia - Finland

[BigBadBoar]

Jalonen is a great hockey coach. After his team had a poor start, he reacted perfectly with a few adjustments in strategy, at the same time avoided any panic. Real class.

It's fun to hear the swedes try to pronounce Mäenalanen.

Menalinen
Miinaliainen
Mannilainen
etc

 

[Antiillafire]

Can't blame them though

 

[Husqvarna]

Number 65 to the score - Manninen is the man. 4-1. Easy like that.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

convincing performance, really solid from Finland

The whole line looks lost so far.

Yeah. To their credit swedish commentators have gotten ALOT better at pronouncing finnish names. 10-15 years ago it was always much, much worse than at random.

Loving the way Channel 5 is implementing the ads to the broadcast. Two windows and you are able to watch the game from one and see the necessery ads on the other one.

Slaf with another one. 4-2 and Slovakia is back in the game.

 

[Antiillafire]

SLAFKOOOO…. HES SAYING IM THE BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE IN 2022

 

[mattihp]

Slovakia should play that line alot more... So more focused.

 

[tobu]

4th line our best line

 

[karhukissa]

Nice goal by Slafkovsky

 

[Antiillafire]

4th line our best line

Our first line is literally incompetent today

 

[mattihp]

Time for a powerplay who actually makes use of the extra man.

 

[Husqvarna]

Danger, danger ... Finland power play.

 

[Luolis]

I'm happy to see Slafkovsky do well, but obviously happier about Finland leading 4-2

 

[mattihp]

Simple play by Slovakian PK, much better.

 

[Zub]

Lehtonen needs to wake up lol

 

[mattihp]

Lehtonen needs to wake up lol

Yep, in both directions.

 

[mattihp]

Jurco is looking for more penalties, his stickwork is questionable.
