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

[FinPanda]

Well deserved tying goal. We have been so much better than USA in this game.

 

[Chainshot]

Ojamaki with a nice goal. Can't fault Schneider on that one, it was well delivered to a high danger area and Ojamaki buried it.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Feasting against **** 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 **** more often than not in these games.

Horrible assessment of a great player.

 

[Canucks LB]

For all the shit kane is getting, At least the guy shows up to slovakia.

There’s a ton of players across the country, but chose not to go, Some hard legitimate reasons like contracts, some did not

 

[karhukissa]

Just to give you an idea, there are not even all the best Liiga players on this team and yet they play like this. Unreal.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Horrible assessment of a great player.

Didn't comment on his NHL talents. He doesn't give a shit in this level, he thinks he's above this. Which he probably is.

 

[ijuka]

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.

2 points per game at last WHCs? Do you not know that Sebastian Aho had 18 points in 8 games last year? Or what's with this uninformed post?

 

[QnebO]

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

its not dive, he hit the corner of pants and he uses henkselit that attach pants to shoulders. And if you dont expect that you can fall

Double down on a terrible assessment.

 

[SlapshotTheMovie]

Game is finally starting to live up to the hype. 2nd was a great period. Going into the 3rd tied with both teams giving up baby shit soft goals in the 1st but tighting up in the 2nd is kinda a great story.

 

[Saekk]

Thanks White, what an idiot lmao.

 

[aphyro]

That was a beautyful goal by Ojamäki

 

[SoundAndFury]

Second that, I really enjoy watching this team play rather than a bunch of NHLers giving half-assed effort. Nice to familiarize myself to some new faces as well.

 

[FinPanda]

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

Vehvilainen still

 

[Lays]

 

[PWiz30]

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

To be fair the whole team mailed it in in that bronze medal game. Finland probably would have too if it weren't Selanne's last international game.

Vehvilainen still

Sorry, my voice to text butchers many a name.

They have been great so far. I really like their creativity and dekes too. Guys are skilled for sure.

This is true also. The whole team checked out after the 2-0 goal.

 

[FinPanda]

Lol he is Vehviläinen. You North Americans ruining my brain. ä is important in Finnish


I love how strong Kakko is.

 

[ViD]

USA not impressive at all with that roster

 

[Narow]

Good luck taking it off kakko... he lost an edge and was out of balance most of that too. Just crazy. Make sure he doesnt get the puck in the first place if you are against him. He is good at stealing oucks too tho

 

[SoundAndFury]

There is no way Kane would waste his time if he wasn’t interested. Not a clue what you are talking about.

He knows these games don't really matter until PO and he acts like it.

 

[jj cale]

I am aware of what Aho did last year at this whc, and he was lauded by Finnish fans for doing it.

Yet, they blast Kane as a no show when he has an even better tournament and you are calling my post uninformed?

As i said in an earlier post, the reputation grows by the day.

We ruin our own brains too. Sorry about that.
