GDT: Group A - May 10 - Finland vs Canada

[RED ARMY EAST]

We do, thankfully this just might be the worst Finnish roster on paper I've seen in eons.

This is also the worst Team Canada in a long time!

RELAGATION

 

[goldenbladz1]

I expect Couturier to have a great tournament. Go Canada!

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I will need alot of alcohol while watching this Funnyland team

 

[illone84]

Canada D team vs Finland F team. Canada 4 Finland 2

 

[Tuggy]

Ugly looking roster for Canada. And Turris the captain? Oh boy...

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

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

PUKKIIIIII!

But yeah this is the worst finish team I've ever seen. Looks like a Deutschland or Spengler Cup roster. They'll grind out a typically low scoring game though.

 

[Esko6]

Howcome the fins dont have any nhl players?

2 NHL players and 2 KHL players, on paper this is the worst team that I can remember. However, seems like the coach has a plan in mind and has left out some skilled players for role players.

 

[Jaska]

Denmark, Switzerland and Germany having more/better NHL players on ice than Finland. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy for them, sad for Finland.

 

[JackSlater]

Hmmm. This is my first time seeing Finland's roster. Not so good. I thought that Finland would win, but now I'm thinking 5-4 Canada with clearly shaky defensive play from both sides. I should be able to watch the first period of this game and some of the second.

 

[SoundAndFury]

This Finnish team is still good defensively and work their asses off. Judging from the game against Austria I expect Canada to be its polar opposite, trash defensively and skating kinda aimlessly. So I'm going to say 3-3 OT.

 

[member 305909]

Strange schedule for the Finns; first three games against the supposedly three most difficult opponents. If Finland has 0-1 points after three games it will be knife on the throat.

My guess is that Germany will sneak through to the QFs and Finland or Slovakia will be disappointed and crash out.

 

[jj cale]

This is also the worst Team Canada in a long time!

Yep, on paper anyway.

 

[FinnishSniper]

Finland with the win. The team looked great in the practise games!

 

[SoundAndFury]

Strange schedule for the Finns; first three games against the supposedly three most difficult opponents.

One can also make a point the best time to play Canada/USA is as early as possible.

 

[CanuckCity]

Not a single regular NHLer on Finland is surprising. Not sure who to watch for other than Kakko & Jokiharju

 

[AgentBrodeur]

Yes but the last 5 Games the Finns won 3 vs CAN(2014,16 and 18)

fins work hard

 

[theslatcher]

Couts with Stone would be nice to see.

 

[IAM]

YouTube link for the game would be nice. Does anyone have it?

 

[fouba]

Pay attention to Hakanpää, I really think he is a underrated super strong player in defense and also in the blueline.

 

[BusQuets]

Finnish defense is almost full of guys that might be NHLers. Offense is dull outside of Kakko,Anttila and Rajala.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Excited to see future Ranger Kappo Kakko skate with the best!!

 

[TheGoldenGod]

That Canadian lineup is hard to look at

 

[1OApick]

Watch number 12 on Finnish team. He is amazing.

 

[FinPanda]

Let's go Finland and to all our other Finns here: let's enjoy the show without any expectations.
