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

[bennysflyers16]

Only the most obnoxious homer would think Hart is better than Murray. Great performance against powerhouse Great Britain, though.

Murray lost this game, it isn’t debatable.

2 games, 2 awful performances

Lesson for team Canada is, you can‘t buy heart.

If I had to pick a team I wouldn’t mind losing to it would be Finland.
Then I read this thread ...

I don't think I've ever been in a Finland GDT without some bizarre reference to the Winter War.

Unreal goaltending by Finland

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Kind of??? 2 absolute stinkers lost the game

Only scoring 1 goal against this caliber of team lost the game too. Blame goes all around

Unfortunate result for Canada, but given the expectations going in silver with this group is decent. The team overachieved.

True...proud of what they accomplished in a short tournament.

 

[aphyro]

Silver is pretty good for Canada's F team though.

Canadas F team against Finlands Ö team

Silver is pretty good for Canada's F team though.

Now this is an excuse I will not get behind. It’s not even close to accurate.

 

[NinjaKick]

wow.... I actually feel sick...

Congrats to the Finns... great team defense backed up by solid goaltending...

ughhhhhh. I wont be on HFboards for a while after this... peace

 

[McDrai]

Maybe Canada can bring their A team next time and actually beat Finland for once. Oh who am I kidding? They will still probably lose with McDavid, Crosby, Tavares, Hall, Seguin, Marchand and any other top f***ing player

Murray lost this game, it isn’t debatable.

When your team scores 1 goal and goes 0 for 3 or 0 for 4 on the PP, you don't blame the goalie.

He was awesome against the Czechs.

Seeing as you're a Flyers fan, I'm pretty sure I know what your agenda is.

Kevin Lankinen for Vezina

 

[LateSleeper]

Congrats to Finns on this awesome journey.

 

[tacogeoff]

Cant win em all. Great showing by the Finns. bravo!

 

[karhukissa]

Fins' goalie is in top form, their defense kept Canada away from the center of the ice, and Canada's got no finish to boot. Simple as that.

Finland is better

Got to hand it to the Fins though, they had an incredibly difficult route getting here

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Murray lost this game, it isn’t debatable.

You're right, but Hart will be lucky if he does in his career what Murray has done in his first two years in the league. Unless Hart could have somehow scored goals, too, the result would have been the same with him in net.

I'd love another best on best tournament.

Amazing job by the Finnish goalie and good job capitalizing on the chances they've gotten. Fun game

It is a new twist to be sure.
