GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 22 - Finland vs Canada - Part II

[Kamiccolo]

We need to get Tanev on the leafs. They have such amazing chemistry.

I'd move Nylander for Tanev.

Why is everyone discounting all the statistics pointing towards Laine actually being a good player? All I ever see is negative things about him on this thread. It's rare for 18 year olds to even play in this tournament, but he is and doing quite well. He broke Jagr's record and led a dominate Finnish time. You'd think he was already a bust though according to most of the people on this thread.

Ok, I have to admit, this 3rd period has been actually bad - and Canada of course great. But those two first periods were pretty fine I would still say, just expected that we would have an extra gear for the 3rd.

 

[snipes]

We want it more!!

 

[Snaibberi]

Laine has been really weak on the puck this game.

who hasnt except Granlund and Aho?

 

[Liminality]

Canada can't sit back for 2 minutes, they need to pressure Finland till the end.

It's why because people think he's in the contention with Matthews

 

[WinTheRightGames]

Can't even get a shot on goal.

 

[Kamal007]

Tanev has excellent defensive hockey IQ

 

[Coldplay619]

Jesus Christ.

This is similar to USA-Canada in Sochi.

Close in score but Canada we're never in trouble.

 

[SometimesY]

We need to keep pressure on so they can't pull the goalie

 

[Brewsky]

McDavid has turned some amazing defensive stops at the blue line. Yes, McDavid!

Because there's a subset of HFboards posters who have been shook by trolling.

No country has as much heart as us when we give everything we got.

I have you know Germany show a lot of heart this tournament. They do not have the skills though.

Why is Laine not on the ice when they need a goal?
