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

[MrFunnyWobbl]

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

Renezaide!!

 

[Ralonzo]

I don't care about definition. It was loose.

Words mean things.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Lehkonen only got it because it's in Montreal

 

[Jaan]

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.

There was nothing cheap about that hit.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

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

He was fine. Nice try though.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Words mean things.

I just sense a lot of bitterness. That's all.

 

[DadBod]

Are Canadian hockey fans turning THAT soft, that sticking up for your captain with 4 gloves punches are looked upon?


Common now folks, man up a bit. The only person he'd be hurting is himself if he gets suspended...I for one, respect sticking up for yourself, especially after a hit like that.

 

[Mara]

Good game by team Finland, 100% effort but level difference is just too much. Expected result, maybe the numbers are a bit closer than I would've thought, but Canada certainly looked strong and could've scored more. Good for Finland to get a high tempo game under the belt before facing the main opponent. Congrats to Canada!

 

[MR4]

oooooooooooohhhhhhhh Caaaaaaahhhnaaaaaaaahhhdaaaaaaaaahhhh

we stand on guard for thee

 

[CanaFan]

It's dumb to take the risk

Hockey is full of risks. Sticking up for a teammate when leading 4-1 with 5 minutes left is on the low side. That's how teams come together and build chemistry. I was glad to see him get in there and can't believe the wining from some of you.

 

[leafsfuture]

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

That makes teams.

We need that.

If he rammed a guy from behind, a complete illegal hit and got away with it, there would still be twenty guys to pat him on the back.

What makes teams isnt always what is smart

 

[scotian1]

There was nothing cheap about that hit.

Except it was a hit from behind with a high elbow.

 

[jdatb]

There was nothing cheap about that hit.

uh, say that again?

 

[Korpse]

There was nothing cheap about that hit.

besides hitting him right in the numbers, nothing at all.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Good win. One thing we're seeing from this team is that they score goals in bunches when the score is close. Like someone else said, this team seems to have that killer instinct.

 

[NuxFan09]

Great anthem! Good on you all at the Bell Centre!

 

[agent082]

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

Eichel was much better against Finland.

 

[Bures Elbow]

Finland is going to beat Sweden in the Quarters, just has that sort of feeling to them.

 

[IDuck]

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

got it....was going to say, thats dumb if he gets suspended for that

 

[JayKing]

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.

Don't care. Fighting doesn't belong in international hockey.

 

[CanaFan]

Don't care. Fighting doesn't belong in international hockey.

Who was fighting?

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Finland's defense isn't as good as last year, that's pretty clear now. Honka is decent, but it seems that anybody else can't start the rush. We also have a 5"8 defender playing. Very hard to play against the big, offensively skilled teams.

Puljujärvi seemed angry at the end of the game. Went for two big hits and rushed the puck up like there's no tomorrow. Really like him.

 

[Mehar]

So- who do you guys want in net against USA, Comrie or Fucale? I was 100% behind starting Comrie for Team USA, but i am not sure of that right now after this game. What do others think?

 

[Ralonzo]

I just sense a lot of bitterness. That's all.

Goalies don't like NHL '94 goals.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Your clueless.

If he rammed a guy from behind, a complete illegal hit and got away with it, there would still be twenty guys to pat him on the back.

What makes teams isnt always what is smart

Neither is your response, because I frankly can't figure out what the hell you are talking about.

Any team I have ever played with worth its salt sticks up for each other. Period.

If one of my guys takes a dumb penalty, I say, "No more dumb penalties, boys!"
