GDT: Group A - May 10 - Finland vs Canada

[chauron]

Kakko played a marvellous game today

 

[NinjaKick]

I'm sorry to Devil fans but... Severson is just clueless, just turn over after turn over all morning

 

[lostinwarsaw]

Canada’s coach looked like someone trying to make it seem like they are busy/coaching. The camera was on him and it looked like he was acting more so than coaching.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Hugged by several fins in the fan zone not good

Where are you? I would like to hug you as well.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

1st overall.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Well deserved win for Finland. They were skating well, they were more aggressive, more consistent as a team. Canada looked like they didn't get the right legs today, the lack of energy and dynamics was too apparent.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

This Canada team looks awful. I'd be shocked if they accomplish anything. Kakko looks really good though, he brings a very good overall game to the table

 

[Saekk]

Hugged? Disgusting.

 

[MMANumminen]

Overall solid game by Finns, impressed by the defence. Liiga players are as good as NHL players confirmed

 

[Bagge]

Well done, Finland.

It's Vigneault, he's made a career out of looking busy, while all he does is chewing gum. Next season he will coach the Philadelphia Flyers. I'm still laughing.

 

[FiLe]

Was this an upset? Yeah. Was this anything sensational? Nah.

This is how we do it, people. Have been doing for years.

 

[Elvs]

The Canadian players looked sloppy and flat out disenterested. With this kind of effort they'll lose to Slovakia and Germany too.

 

[Slap]

worse team canada I have seen.....lucky to beat GB......why even bother sending a team over if this is the best you can do......I am out

Canada is still top 3 on paper. They just got beat by a bunch of AHL level players. This is simply poor effort and coaching.

 

[tellermine]

It is a teamsport.
Attitude, teamplay, hearth, dissipline.

Sisu and [MOD]

 

[ijuka]

While i agree that the Finnish team is worst in ages(on paper), at least they had multiple weeks of training before the tournament, unlike Canadians.

Better coaching.

Dunno why they chose those plugs to coach Canada. No wonder no one showed up.

 

[NinjaKick]

Murray was solid, not worried about goaltending going forward... Finland... very very tough opponent

 

[Bagge]

I remember this in last years WCH as well. The overly friendly atmosphere among fans is fantastic.

 

[ijuka]

Lmao, these TSN dudes keep talking about the Severson hit like it was something big.

That's pretty odd. Kakko walked a few guys along the line, dumped it in. Got stood up - it happens. Got back up immediately and didn't miss a shift. Biggest storyline of the game.

They really are doing all they can to diminish Kakko, it's pretty cute at this point.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Two bad teams that won't have anything to say about the medals.

 

[FinPanda]

Like I said previously, we have had better players but worse coaching for the last couple of years. Now we have an actual coach.

Canada is still top 3 on paper. They just got beat by a bunch of AHL level players. This is simply poor effort and coaching.

On paper really doesnt mean much in this tournament especially for Canada. The players get tossed together a week before the tournament have one exhibition game and go at it. If they dont significantly out talent most of the other teams in the tournament it's a wrap. This team doesnt have it in the least.

Tommy "choke" Salo?

 

[Jee]

Kid is good.

 

[garbageteam]

Well deserved by an undermanned Finland. This TC is awful. I'm starting to hope we just get dumped on the rest of the round robin. This is by far the worst roster Canada has sent - and it appears with very minimal effort made in contacting or attracting players - in the last half decade.
