GDT: Group A - May 10 - Finland vs Canada

[Gsus]

Finland is no joke... LETS GO CANADA

I get what you're saying but you could argue this Finnish team is a joke.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Kaapo with the hat trick

 

[Jumptheshark]

Not as many FINS in kosice as there were in Russia and Prague. But their numbers should swell

 

[FinPanda]

First game is the biggest chance to upset Canada. I don't think we will, but I hope.

 

[Svedu]

Canada wins, 8-1. I hope i´m wrong. Weak, very weak Finnish roster.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

That Canadian team look awful. Have they ever sent a weaker team (on papir)?

If you think the Canadian roster is awful on paper? Then i wonder what your opinion of the Finnish roster is?

 

[BigBadBoar]

Everybody expects Canada to smash Finland here, but I think it will be a close game.

 

[bert]

Howcome the fins dont have any nhl players?

Look awful for you, but strong for others

No worries. Hockey Canada has it all under control. They brought over Shane Doan to give motivational pre-game speeches and to fetch pints for Botterill and the rest of the HC crew. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

 

[FinPanda]

Howcome the fins dont have any nhl players?

Injuries and some don't have a contract for next year. Next year it will be a lot better.

 

[BennsGonnaGetYou]

Our core players either have expiring contracts or injuries. Then you have one or two that declined despite not having a legit reason, but it is what it is. It's nothing new that big players draw more players, hopefully next worlds roster will have some of the big guns.

 

[Tomas W]

Big big blow to lose Tavares. Of course even average Canadians are very good hockey players, but still I think Canada would have needed Tavares to lead the forces.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Lankinen over Vehviläinen
We'll see if that's the right decision

Also Ohtamaa is not a 1st pair D in any team.

We are going to get our heads handed to us

Currently drinking with 20 finish fans in the d city.. 11am and they are bombed already

That's only pregame drinking. Wait until they goes into full gamemode Sisu! Will be able to catch this game straight from work. The pints are already on cooling and ready to be popped!

Normal. For those drunkards. I've never got the appeal of heavy drinking in matches despite being able to drink in them for 2+ years now

 

[GORDIEHOWE]

Canada wins 7-0

But we do! Jokiharju and Lammikko! I trust they will step up and carry the team on their backs! -sarcasm-

 

[FinLurker]

This season totals from Finnish NHL players playing at WHC:

Henri Jokiharju 0+12 in 38 games.
Juho Lammikko 0+6 in 40 games.

This Finnish roster has total of 2 NHL goals in their careers:

Petteri Lindbohm 2+1 in 23 games (2014-15 season)

Yep. My liver will use me shortly

 

[Rangers79]

Neither team looks spectacular but I think Canada is gonna win this game.
