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

[SaltNPeca]

Finns don't need to change anything. They had 29 shots against Russia and NHL's best goaltender against them. They even had a goalpost and a situation generated by Kakko where the puck was on the goal line.

Binnington is Canadian mate.

nah my motives are not that I'm being an over enthusiastic finnish fan. I just thought Czechs were playing better but were outplayed by Murray. Sometimes goalie just steals the game. I think Murray had like 40 saves and most of them were great ones.

I must have seen a different game, I think most fans must have.

The Czechs got outplayed.

Not meaning that specific to only you Canadian true rock'n'roll/icehockey bro' ... but for the rest of the world that don't even nearly know the rock'n'roll jive nowadays; what it seems (anyway)! If ya see what I mean.

I hear ya!!

Your chainsaws are the best!

My 15yo wants to move to Finland. He read some article about how they have a highly rated school system, but seem to do it with little testing.

Husqvarna is a Swedish brand and town.

Led Zeppelin is still pretty huge in Canada.

Their back catalog still sells very well.

I was replying to the poster, not the country. I am well aware, here in Finnesota/MinneSweda.

 

[jj cale]

Bonzo was the best !!

For me too, just love the guy.

Binnington is Canadian mate.

Rask is Finnish!

Binnington is Canadian mate.

Yes, let's herald the best goalkeeper in the game, after watching them for less than a season. Because that has never backfired before.

Rask is Finnish!

Put Rask beghind a struggling team that can't find their structure. Oh, that's right, he has had a taste of it. Know what? He struggled, alot. And he didn't even play behind a mediocre team - or worse. Rask is talented, but oh so reliable on his team to do their job correctly.

Husqvarna is a Swedish brand and town.

That's exactly why his son might want to move to Finland. For proper eruditon.

The euro-elections seem to be a total disappointment. I hope the hockey-final cures the disappointment.

No doubt which contest the vast majority of Finns will pay more attention tonight.

Where would Thomas Chabot slot in for team Canada if this was a best on best tournament? Is he ahead of players within Subban’s tier?

(No order)

1. Burns
2. Doughty
3. Giordano
4. Weber
5. Pietrangelo
6. Ellis
7. Vlasic?
8. Reilly

Don’t think he has a case to outplay any of the top 8, and I’m probably forgetting people too.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think this is a very important game for our brave Finnish Lions and everyone in Finland as well! Maybe team toothless Canucks has more skillfull players, but they don't have the mentality needed to win these most important games! Go Finnish Lions!

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Bonzo was the best !!

Meh, gimme Keith Moon instead.

I didn't know much about Chabot before this tournament... he's rock solid, so smooth at bringing the puck up the ice and he will only get better as he gains more experience... I think you could switch Chabot with any of those players you listed and he would have a positive impact on team Canada... the Sens really have a special player...

Finland needs yet another miracle.

If there is one thing Canada has it is the mentality to win these games, that is what they are known for.

I cannot believe this take here.

Unfortunately I think the cinderella run ends for team Finland tonight. We have seen it countless times in the NHL as well as in the world championships how an underdog team comes oh so close to winning but ultimately never do.

The Finns need to find a way to contain Stone and Mantha.

Interesting coaching battle between Vigneault and Jalonen.

Kakko has been quiet on the score sheet lately but how nice would it be for him to cap things off with another gold medal game winning goal?

 

[canswetoxic]

Both supporters have tendency to get sour when their team defeated, gonna follow this thread and hope for a great game.

 

[king89]

I think Kakko will score, and that Suomi will win.

 

[QnebO]

Last two games were miracle on ice. Can it be three?

A bit off topic but does Husqvarna still make motocross bikes?
