GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 22 - Finland vs Canada (MOD NOTE - POST 749)

[Satan]

satisfaction

 

[Romang67]

I'm watching it, the only time I noticed him was when that perfect pass went to him and he had a chance.

Maybe you should pay more attention?

 

[Chimpradamus]

Finland is playing 5 across in the neutral zone down a goal.

It's the Finnish way. Try to bore your opponents to death and counter attack.

 

[Gsus]

What's the deal with this Finnish goalie? He seems pretty good... why isn't he in the NHL??

He gets more money in the KHL and a guaranteed starter spot.

 

[Liminality]

How many faceoffs has McDavid won? Seems like he's been great on the draw.

 

[Polar Vortex]

Give it time.

The hockey lords know he's
better than some of the scrubs getting over paid in NA right now.

Would love him on the jets.

 

[BB88]

Some of them are upset their boy Laine they hyped so much is invisible in the most important game, and has 1 assist in the last game as well.

Dominates against easier competition with NHL linemates, gets shut down by any team with NHL caliber players.

Never mind his terrible Skating. Good hands and a good shot, but man oh man he has some work to do.

Why are you so obsessed with Laine, you can't talk about anything else???????
He created the game winner last night.

 

[slobbergob]

Why does Duchene shoot from such low % angles?

I wouldn't call that a low% shot. He made a move past the defender and had a decent shot at the net. Canada is in trouble when they over pass.

 

[Satan]

Can Duchene pass?

he enjoys playing with the puck and subsequently losing it

it's kind of enjoyable until you realize its not rec hockej

 

[Plural]

Laine cant hold on to puck at all.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Puck dying everytime Laine touches it.

 

[jorbjorb]

taylor hall is unreal wow

 

[Kamiccolo]

I'm impressed with Pokka. He's really good.

 

[Hobble]

Canucks definitely need an insurance goal soon.

Problem is they have to shoot around the mini van the Finns parked in the net.

 

[22FUTON9]

its comical how oilers fans crap on duchene everytime he tries to make a play.

 

[SometimesY]

From this tournament, it's going to be a tough decision for Toronto... Winnipeg can just lean back and put their feet on the desk.

 

[saintflannel]

What's with Finnish goalies and their odd numbers? Koskinen wearing 19; Räisänen wearing 18.

 

[WinTheRightGames]

I've gone back to the usual pessimism. A miracle has to happen for Finland to win this.

 

[slobbergob]

its comical how oilers fans crap on duchene everytime he tries to make a play.

It's Duchene's fault McDavid isn't dominating.

 

[Neinri]

Canucks definitely need an insurance goal soon.

Probably is they have to shoot around the mini van the Finns parked in the net.

LMAO, very well put

 

[Semantics]

I didn't know Matthews had a son on team Canada, somebody better check his birth certificate.

 

[BrodieOnTheCorner]

Laine playing like a god right now. No wonder he's getting these Lemieux comparisons. Best 18 year old I've ever seen. Gonna be a legend.

 

[McPuritania]

taylor hall is unreal wow

I love watching him come in on a one on one. He has a really deceptively good shot that fools goalies a lot on those plays.

 

[The Drop]

All you hear is the Finnish bench calling for penalties lol

 

[agent082]

What's with Finnish goalies and their odd numbers? Koskinen wearing 19; Räisänen wearing 18.

Who is Räisänen?
