GDT: Germany - Finland

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

The slower pace of the game has a lot to do with the bigger rink too.

Eh I was unclear, by pace of play I meant how quick a period goes by in real time. NHL seems to have more stoppages or at least the stoppages take longer. Not sure how long intermissions are at this tournament but surely not longer than the NHL's 18 minutes.

The good play from US game is totally gone.

I think they are about 15 minutes. This is based entirely on my NHL-timed intermission showers taking that little bit too long at IIHF tourneys lol.

I didn’t see the game against the USA but the games against Germany had never been easy for Finland in the past years. Remember 2019 when they won the title the only game they lost was against Germany.

I misread your comment.

Powerplay is Finland's chance..

 

[Zub]

Good puck movement on the first unit but no cigar.

 

[Kibe]

That hit the hand im pretty sure.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

Already our best PP, heh

 

[Gsus]

embellishment from german player

 

[Finnswiss]

May be the Finns have so much problems against Germany because their coach is a Finn.

 

[Jussi]

Ruotsalainen!

 

[king89]

Woooo 2-1 SUOMI

A finnish coach may be more versed to understand the passive phases of finnish hockey, but german teams always have solid coaching.

 

[Zub]

Why is that even under review lmao

 

[Porvari]

I think I like this edition of Ruotsalainen as much as the previous one,

 

[Kibe]

Lundell-Ruotsalainen duo heating up.

 

[Finnswiss]

Ruotsolainen 2:1 Finland. If Finland can keep this score they assured the quarterfinal spot.

 

[Zub]

I still can't believe how Lundell slipped all the way to 12th OA at the draft, i've always rated him so highly.

 

[GKJ]

I feel like after being on lockdown for a year, someone should have invented a net that actually keeps the puck inside of it

No joke, it's an actual aesthetic problem how the modern goal cages can't provide a satisfying visual after a goal with their goalcams and those whatever lunar modules at the base of the cage.

 

[Zub]

Very good puck cycle for a extended time and Sund decides to shoot from far out from a low % angle, sigh.

 

[Loffer]

Lundell is such a solid player. You cannot but like his poise, composure, style, skills, attitude.

 

[Kibe]

Wow that could've been dangerous.

 

[Edenjung]

The problem for germany is that in Offense we are unimaginative.

The defense plays well.
The goalie is hot

But in the offense we are lacking that spark.
A Stützle, a Draisaitl could have brought that with them.
