GDT: Group A • Dec. 26 • Finland vs. USA

[matzz]

Finnish "superstars" Kapanen and Honka look really bad..

agree with Kapanen, he is not playing good. Honka has not been that bad though

 

[Get North]

Yeah I think Eichel is doing too much aswell, he was skating around with the puck alot and in the NHL no one does that not even Crosby. Just gotta make the pass and look for different angles by passing it not by skating around yourself.

 

[OiledUp]

USA controlled the puck on the PP but didn't move it quickly enough, in particular Eichel held the puck for too long looking for the perfect pass. Inefficient 5 on 4.

 

[thomast]

Rantanen is best player for team finland with Husso. Rantanen looks like 1st round pick for maybe top 15. Kasperi Kapanen is worst player so far.

Puljujärvi looks really good for 16 year old. He is strong on boards and is always free for transition from defense to offense. Looks like north-south game and small rink fits him

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

USA controlled the puck on the PP but didn't move it quickly enough, in particular Eichel held the puck for too long looking for the perfect pass. Inefficient 5 on 4.

And no way in hell he'll be able to do that in the NHL.

 

[Dolemite]

Team USA has a few individuals that they need to remind this is a team tournament.

10-20 range

 

[Synergy27]

Finland's defense is really solid. USA PP is ridiculous though.

Is Chase De Leo's last name really pronounced "Dealio"? Like "what's the deal-io?"

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

I never thought we'd struggle to find intensity

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Mathews has some great moves.

 

[landy92mack29]

nice play honka

 

[PG Canuck]

PP Finland.

 

[DoubleDouble*]

Eichel is showboating.

 

[trick9]

What a rush by Honka.

 

[OiledUp]

Honka turns into Orr

 

[Finnsane]

Vatanenesque play by Honka

 

[The Enemy Within]

Good job Demko. Let's kill this thing off.

 

[Alerion]

Honka with some nifty hands.

 

[matzz]

wow nice honka

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

It's de-layo - announcer sucks

 

[Richter915]

auston matthews is very very good so far.

 

[GX]

Ugh, rebound control..

yep, strong hockey name

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Larkin's having himself a pretty nice game. Now as flashy and noticeable as Eichel, but he's playing pretty well.

 

[Plub]

Mathews has some great moves.

Quite a few Americans have some great moves. What they needs is to start using each other better. They aren't using their line mates well at all.
