SAATANA PERKELEEE

 

[SI90]

32 with a tackle on USA player and no call.

 

[Jussi]

Thank you, Anti-Midas.

Since it has been decided that Sweden is never to win another WJC tournament in my lifetime I will henceforth set my gold medal hopes in the hands of team Suomi. In this way I can still enjoy the tournament and join the Finns in taunting an ridiculing my countrymen. Great times will be had by all.

Goaltender not coming up with the big saves when needed and still waving at guys instead of throwing the body

 

[SI90]

Finland dominating. In complete control

 

[SenzZen]

Feel like Pieniniemi was really underhyped as being not an ideal #1 D for this tournament but he’s actually looked quite good?

Can’t argue with the timing of this post!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

USA hanging on for dear life at this point.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Tripp;ing on US not called. Looked like a high stick just now.

 

[Shocker]

Absolute domination by Finns so far, but lot can change in minutes in junior hockey

 

[Svedu]

Väisänen and Tuhkala needs to get sharp now. They hesitate with the puck a bit too much sometimes.

 

[Blender]

Finland's forecheck is just relentless.

 

[Buttermilk]

Refs.... I hope u remember that

 

[Huokaus]

Finns winning most of the puck battles so convincingly feels so strange.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Some great top end talent on team USA but they are so leaky defensively. Well deserved lead for Finland, they've been solid top to bottom.

 

[sadpanda]

US too skilled offensively we need to keep pushing

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Put Eiserman, Nelson and Connolly back together please

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

How is Finland so good

 

[vildurson]

First line from USA with Hagens and co only line that can do something at all in the offensive zone.

 

[agent082]

Finnish goalie made a save that was about miss a goal 6 feet

 

[SoundAndFury]

I expect "What is wrong with the USA?" thread after this game

 

[vildurson]

How is Finland so good

Beats me. We should have sucked in this tourney considering how it started for us but I take this as a happy accident.

 

[Jussi]

We're making full use of the bench location.

 

[Svedu]

Eiserman roughing!?

 

[Go19]

USA looks they are running on fumes. Not looking promising
