GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 26 - Canada vs Finland

[harpoon]

Finland lucky to be down by only one.

Good for this game that you are not..

Our team seems tired.

Yeah, they don't seem to have their legs today, what gives?...........too much energy expended against Sweden and Russia?

Somethings off with them so far.

His stick road up and into his throat/ chin. Looked worse live, which is the view the ref has. It was a stupid thing to do. But that's hockey.

It didn't. It was embellishment all the way.

 

[NinjaKick]

solid start from Canada, Murray came up big when needed...

 

[BusQuets]

Team Finland should be happy for being down only 1 goal. Bad period by them.

Would be much different if your team had NHLers.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL.

People in here haven’t played hockey before apparently.

You put anything near someone’s face and the instinctive reaction is to avoid it.

 

[robertocarlos]

Wow, so now some people are defending embellishment

Not really. I'd like to see the embellisher have his face punched in. But that means a disqualification. Maybe put the video on the scoreboard TV on repeat and shame the guy.

 

[Matti_A]

Canada way better in the first, could easily be more than 1-0.

 

[The Drop]

Honestly, what is this comment even about?

Stupidity

 

[JJTT]

Hard to win with zero skill

 

[jj cale]

Well, I can't help but feel good as we dominated the period and have the lead, but I also know we should be up by at least a couple of more goals, sure hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

 

[NyQuil]

Would be much different if your team had NHLers.

Finland has made it this far without them.

A one goal lead is nothing after one period.

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah, seems like a missed opportunity.

 

[Hagged]

I think this is enough siima.

More siima. At least up until last 5 minutes of the third period.

 

[TimeZone]

Ha. Even Canadian(?) announcers in YouTube stream admitted #16 was diving.

Cross-check to the chest and then the head movement caused that penalty.

Not sure what stream you're watching, but I certainly heard no such thing. Perhaps they should've given the Finn's another penalty shot.

 

[Mikeshane]

Good period for the most part for Canada, the one thing they need to handle better is Finland keep charging out to the blueline and Canada are either turning the puck over or getting caught flat footed.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

solid start from Canada, Murray came up big when needed...

Nico, shouldnt you be taking your girlfriend out while you still have time off? Not posting in HF about this game!

 

[Dala]

One coach facing Finland has done his homework. Team Canada much better at sustained pressure by anticipating where and how Finland defends their own zone.

 

[The Drop]

Finland has made it this far without them.

A one goal lead is nothing after one period.

Ya impressive effort by them so far. I think they’ll settle down a bit in the 2nd but if Canada continues this pace, I think we got it.

 

[agent082]

One mistake. Otherwise Finland kept Canada outside. Finland looks much weaker on skates.

 

[robertocarlos]

Your post was, word for word, a post in the SC playoffs earlier. Same situation there.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Where is Kakko? Hes normally more visible than this, I havent seen him once granted I turned on the game at the 10min mark

He had some touches, but kinda got muscled off the puck. No time nor space so far.

 

[jj cale]

Yeah, seems like a missed opportunity.

It sure does, ah well......................just keep playing like we have been and keep pushing for them.

 

[Murky]

Finns are not nearly as disciplined as they have been earlier and Canada is fighting for pucks every bit as hard as they are. Finns need to show something else, or this is our game.
