GDT: Group A - May 13 - USA vs Finland (Mod warning in post 2)

He was the leading scorer at this thing last year, jesus.

He's so good he scores 2 points per game without caring.

 

[FinPanda]

Like every Kane international game. Still remember 2014 sochi bronze game how out of it he was in that game

I remember Sochi bronze medal game where he missed a penalty shot too

Feasting against shit tier teams has always been the ticket to big points in this contest. He isn't a leader in this level of play.
Which is totally ok since he's clearly not into playing in these games.

It's not an outlandish claim to make. He just doesn't give a shit more often than not in these games.

 

[JoVel]

Stupid play by White but Pesonen definitely made sure he got that penalty.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

10.0 on that dive.

 

[JoVel]

He missed two penalty shots.

 

[Chainshot]

We had an open net though, but Suter saved a sure goal..

Hanifin stopped one as well. Schneider continues to be a concern, but Vehvilainen has looked stronger as the game has progressed.

2-2!!!!

 

[Jussi]

2-2!

 

[Nate070]

Detroit, DO NOT sign Kaski. He´s way too soft in every way

E: 2-2!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO

 

[chauron]

Sniiiiper laazer

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

OJAMÄKI LETS GO!

o.k., but if a Finnish player did the same thing he would be a clutch guy, a national team hero right?

Because we all know you would be singing that players praises.

Too late

 

[Svedu]

NO NIIN! Let´s go Leijonat!

Sure, could've scored there. It's still too passive, particularly the second unit.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

TIED!

 

[FinPanda]

He missed two penalty shots.

I was thinking if he missed two but I wasn't sure

 

[QnebO]

H

This Kuusela guy has IMO been very bad. Constantly struggles with the puck and makes bad decisions. No clue why he was chosen to debut at this level at the age of 36.

He and Veini shouldnt play. Kuusela isnt a bad player normally but he and veini just didint handle the pressure.

Goaaal. Ojamäki has been all around good.

 

[steierwrass]

10.0 on that dive.

Not sure, it's dive. It looks like that cross-check surprised Pesonen fully and hit somewhere, where it really hurted.

 

[Arselona]

Haha, White's an idiot

 

[king89]

USA penaltykill is not good, they shrink way to low.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Do you remember the days when there was a discussion does Manninen belong at this level/KHL? I member..

 

[LemurFromTheId]

Well, PP seems to be working despite everyone just standing around.

 

[Nate070]

So far the worst team Finland has played against. Why are they even here?!? Vacation trip
