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

[Pensionsraddare]

Well, as i said before the game. Why isn't Demko in the net? Schneider totally garbage.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

The antipathy towards success in FEL and Vehviläinen is laughable. What Veini has done this and last season is pretty remarkable in Finnish standards and lets not act like we have the superior team in any way.
Too bad he let those 2 in but he just saved a Patrick Kane attempt on a 2v1.

Well,.. - Kane's shot was not very good.

[FinPanda]

Lol the game of bad goaltending

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Were there no American-born beer league goalies they could have brought along instead?

 

[Erikfromfin]

Is Jack Hughes benched or what? dont think ive seen him in 10 minutes of play

 

[W75]

Goalie duel, battling goalies

 

[Rangers79]

Schneider shouldn't even be playinh

 

[Chainshot]

How is this only 2-1 with these goalies?

Give it time. Schneider playing the puck looks like giving a toddler live ordinance. Something bad is about to happen.

 

[OKOptimistic]

Ugh barely watch it cause I'm spending the whole time trying to find an English stream, but I guess I'll just stick with the Slovak steam

 

[Svedu]

Having Kane as a captain? He´s so egoistic in my opinion. Hopefully we can get another easy goal.

He's usually out of frame making wide turns.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

What happened to Cory Schneider?

Hes not that old, but his game has turned to absolute shit

I don't get it

 

[Saekk]

Lmao, battle of shit goalies, who can let in the most softies?

Vehviläinen in the lead so far.

Too tight of a game to put 17 year old to the ice?

He's a star veteran with a great resume as a clutch player on multiple cup winning teams and tore up this tournament last year, not surprised he was named captain of this team at all.

 

[Matti_A]

Solid period from the Finns apart from Vehviläinen, he looks like flipping horse manure.

Not pulling his weight yet. Has no points in 2 games. Hopefully once he gets one he can get going but right now he isn't earning any more ice time then he is getting.

 

[QnebO]

Should be 0-0

Most worrying is that whole team saw what happened, and started to play bad. Killed the good momentum. Hope they can survive this Veini game and get back on track in next ones.

 

[SoundAndFury]

What happened to Cory Schneider?

Hes not that old, but his game has turned to absolute ****

I don't get it

Who knows.. Injuries? Can't recover mentally after all the shit he's seen? Hard to tell exactly. But yeah, shouldn't be playing at this level anymore.

 

[Jussi]

TSN studio just pointed out how Kreider held the stick of Koivisto which prevented Koivisto from using his stick to interfere with Gaudreau's shot.

 

[Svedu]

Yeah, great player but not a leader in my world. USA has had a great roster sometimes but when Kane is supposed to carry a team they will not win. Perhaps it will change this year with the talent of Hughes brothers, Gaudreau etc.
With the Blackhawks he always had a great organisation with great defending. Really great defending.

 

[llwyd]

Well, bit lame first period - both teams well below their normal tempo and playing very cautiously. Finland-Slovakia was so much more intensive and harder fought game, but maybe this will pick up. Really tough start for Vehviläinen but I really hope he will recover from it. Obviously not the most important match in history, but more effort from both teams, please.

 

[chewbaccaman]

Schneider is infuriating. This game better be his last.

Eh, JVR not cashing in on that glorious feed in the Slovak loss isn't on Hughes. He was one of the few Americans who skated well in that game.
