Olympics: GDT: Latvia vs Finland

[mattihp]

I can't believe Manninen is not in the NHL. That vision!

So many of the Latvians are big and rather strong. This will not be a blowout...

This is my concern with Finlands defense. Better at moving the puck than usual but also smaller than usual which could become an issue.

 

[Lartsaman]

Well this is one those Finland´s games again.....

Any way to follow tis live , through text or so, english or swedish , my finnish is bit rusty... kitos and kippis!

Text ... not on TV - I read it at that classic Finland Teksti-TV side 201 when chaps like Patrik Laine are on a (rock-) roll fire. My bad.

 

[mattihp]

Latvia looking hangry.

 

[olop]

Hietanen and Anttila are pretty much useless at this point. Unfortunately but pretty much as expected.

 

[mattihp]

Nice spinorama by Rajala. Too bad about the weak shot.

 

[karhukissa]

Latvia plays like they should, nothing fancy just simple grinding. With worse goalie this would be 2-0 to Finland already (or with better finishing)

 

[mattihp]

Vatanen has been very good. At calling for the shot. Joking aside, he has had a good look here and there.

 

[Jussi]

Finally!

 

[John Price]

Finland scores!

 

[mattihp]

Wow, that came from nowhere! 1-0!

 

[stastny12]

KEEEEMILAINEEEN!

[karhukissa]

Deserved!

 

[Husqvarna]

Kemiläinen a go go (to Rögle!) and way to go Finland boys ... even I only follow this game on text-TV and this site and that in the year 2022.

 

[karhukissa]

Good period, a bit unlucky with finishing. After two periods, i'd say that Slovakia has better individuals but Latvia plays bit better in d-zone and better goalie.

SVK-LAT is a must watch for me atleast:

 

[Marioesque]

3rd period should offer more excitement, Latvia has to open up and try to score a goal.

 

[mattihp]

Abols

Makes a difference if a team can actually PP..

 

[mattihp]

Vatanen can still skate.

 

[mattihp]

Lehtonen pretty much always on the ice.

 

[mattihp]

Time for Finnish PP!

 

[Kezaster]

I like how Säteri is very calm and confident looking but I'm not a fan of how deep in the net he is half of the time.

#26 Latvia looks just sad
