GDT: Group A • Dec. 29 • Finland vs. Canada • Part II

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sure, but is that worth a potential suspension? He's lucky it was only a roughing. Gave him at least 4 good shots..

Oh God.

It is worth it. He just showed everybody watching this game that if you hit our guys from behind, you get a mitt in the nose.

Why is it the new Canadian thing to try and remove all emotion from our players? How has that served us lately?

 

[Quinning]

Ritchie unloaded on that guy

 

[JayKing]

It's only a dumb move for Virtanen if he gets tossed.

Since he didn't it was a great display of sticking up for your teammate.

It's dumb to take the risk

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Ritchie...slow slow slow but he can hit like a monster.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Ritchie made jam out of him.

 

[RattsSSV]

Good game.

 

[Getzlaf The Great5*]

Ritchie win another huge hit

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

That was a good win.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Grats on DoS-ing Finland, Lazar's Squad.

 

[trilobyte]

Great game to watch.
Hard fought for sure but never in doubt for me.

 

[Quinning]

It's dumb to take the risk

Yeah and what happens if Lazar is knocked out of the tourney there?

You can't let people cheap shot your captain, plain and simple.

 

[KevinBXA]

3rd Star: Great Clips in Montreal
2nd Star: Max Domi
1st Star: #22 for Finland. Great shine and body for the full 60 minutes. You rarely see a complete player like him

 

[MR4]

Was hoping that Canada would give another big hit in the last 20-30 seconds, not Domi dropped at the horn

 

[jdatb]

Hockey is canada's game.

 

[Kharkov]

At times game was entertaining.

Now Finnish players should only:
-scoring
-pp
-pk
-defence
-defend yourself from roughing

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Good game. There were those uncomfortable 15-20 mins from 2nd to 3rd period, but they prevailed in the end.

 

[MR4]

Psshhh should be #22

 

[iFan]

dont know IIHF rules that well is that a suspendable play (the punching)? and if not at what point is it?

No gloves drop, no fight?.... It's roughing

 

[Royal Canuck]

Good game Finland, most entertaining hockey I've seen in the tournament so far (with SWEvsRUS up there as well).

Reinhart gets the MVP for sure.

 

[Smart Dunsparce*]

Beauty hit.

 

[Keeptdos]

McDavid didn't look that good. Disappointed as also in the Finnish team.

 

[Joey Moss]

Oh God.

It is worth it. He just showed everybody watching this game that if you hit our guys from behind, you get a mitt in the nose.

Why is it the new Canadian thing to try and remove all emotion from our players? How has that served us lately?

They won't win if they can't stay discipline.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

It's dumb to take the risk

Really? Twenty guys are patting him on the back right now and saying way to go.

That makes teams.

We need that.

 

[KarlssonnSchultz]

4-1 win, good goaltending, nice goals, gritty goals, sticking up for teammates (WHICH WAS NOT STUPID BTW). Pretty much exactly how Canada should have been playing the last few years.

I hope I don't regret saying this, but this team just feels different than the last few.

 

[Davebo*]

Oh God.

It is worth it. He just showed everybody watching this game that if you hit our guys from behind, you get a mitt in the nose.

Why is it the new Canadian thing to try and remove all emotion from our players? How has that served us lately?

Well said.
