GDT: Germany Vs Finland | 3:30PM | Group A - Canadian Tire Centre

[Fixed to Ruin]

German shifts are too long

 

[PanniniClaus]

24 Sager, saves one. Great play

 

[Zaar]

That face off looked painful for Sumpf.

 

[Svedu]

They should split Pieniniemi and Kiviharju on 5v5. They are too similar.

Rautiainen has been close two times. But not cool and decisive enough when it mattes.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Bad pass but Pieninemi handled it and scores.

 

[king89]

Finally we score

 

[Svedu]

Pieniniemi needed that one. He had a horrible nervous game against Canada. Let's go!

 

[Zaar]

Well, allowing too many high danger chances will fire back eventually.

 

[Svedu]

Helenius needs to show more. Halttunen is trying at least. Kiiskinen and Uronen hasn't impressed so far.

Hemming? Complete non factor? Does not look like a first rounder whatsoever.

 

[Shocker]

Insanely bad pass but good skate control from Pieniniemi

 

[PanniniClaus]

Germany is susceptible in the high ice of their d zone.

 

[chauron]

What a boring match so far

 

[Namejs]

Expected more of Finland, to be honest

What did you expect? 19 SOG in period 1 are not bad. Not comparable with the firepower of the US Boys but I've seen several good plays so far. Rimpinen with two fantastic saves by the way.

 

[Zaar]

Well, I wouldn't call that a "power" play ...

 

[PanniniClaus]

The more I see Lewandowski, the more I like.

 

[king89]

The more I see Lewandowski, the more I like.

Hockeyplayer Lewandowski haha!

 

[PanniniClaus]

I can see why Finland chose Rimpanen for this game as well. He's made 4 key saves and they have needed them. He's good.

German high forward got caught. Don't like anything from Panocha there.

 

[king89]

Woop woop 2-0

 

[Zaar]

Invested too much in the forecheck

 

[PanniniClaus]

Too close to call.. Panocha needed to gap better and then act as some type of deterrent. Poor defending.

Fooled him... Viellard with some great kicking

 

[jj cale]

That was a stinky one.

2-1

 

[Zaar]

Kinda soft one for Rimpinen. I take it

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was a stinky one.

2-1

Only mistake Rimpanen has made in two days. It was a sneaky play to put that on.

True enough, he's been good other then that.
