GDT: Qf Finland - USA 17:35 CET 02-22-06

[SuomiOlli]

Great passing and puck control by the Finns. They are getting quality shots in front of the net, while the US is taking tough angle shots.

 

[GKJ]

Ville Peltonen scores

 

[bottleCAPS]

who's starting for USA in net? Deeps?

 

[Vagrant]

USA network

Bah. No cable where i'm at right now. Not having this on network tv is a disgrace.

 

[mattihp]

Pretty much looked like a full speed football tackle. It was a pretty nasty thing.

And goal Finland.

Peltonen should be an NHLer.

Peltonen's too slow, and stickhandles too much... Perfect on the big ice, but not suitable for the small ice.

 

[mr gib]

tough break - love the fins nba defense - they've started already

 

[norrisnick]

Heh. JD thinks Sweden dogged it yesterday to play Switzerland...

The majority of teams assured of advancing "dogged" it yesterday. Most played their backups, didn't double shift their stars, rolled all the lines, etc... Sweden just had an added benefit of not going all out in a meaningless game. Any other team would have done the same. The coach was just honest about the situation which caused the controversy.

Go USA!!

Soap operas > hockey in the States.

 

[Takeo]

The USA lacks highend offensive skill. You'd think somebody would notice when selecting the roster.

 

[chiavsfan]

Miller wouldn't have made a difference in this tournament. Rick D has played just fine in net. the US just can't score a freaking goal when it matters

 

[Matti from Finland]

Usa took time-out

 

[djtino224]

I didn't think that the US had three shots on goal.

 

[Epsilon]

Emrick has been really bad with names so far during this tournament.

Timeout?!?!?!?

Is Laviolette ****ing Stupid?

 

[Mr Brownstone]

Let's see if having to use this timeout here comes back to burn them late in the 3rd.

 

[Greyhounds]

Peltonen's too slow, and stickhandles too much... Perfect on the big ice, but not suitable for the small ice.

One of those strange cases of a player who can play at an élite level in Europe, but not in North America.

He really deserved his goal today, though, he's already had two great chances.

As a Sabre fan, I agree 100%.

 

[helicecopter]

Finland is amazing!!

 

[3 goals = chili]

TimeOut U.S.A.

something needs to wake this squad up


is it too many games in too few days for the 30+ year olds?

whats the deal?

 

[RSBPC]

Ruutu got ran over.



Finally Chelios does something right.

 

[acr*]

NICE HIT Chelios!

 

[Famous Flames]

The was the US and Finland have been playing, 1 goal may be all it takes.

 

[gib]

Ruutu got what he was asking for..

 

[Snap Wilson]

Good timeout. The team was scrambling.
