GDT: Group B • Dec. 26 • Finland 2, United States 3 (OT)

[edog37]

Gary Thorne is still one of the best announcers...right behind Doc Emerick...

 

[Garyboy]

Americans look like they slept walk through the second. Great energy by the Finns. Looks like the U.S. really underestimated Finalnd so far. I expect a better 3rd.

I could go on, but don't think its necessary.

According to the IIHF, only the two USA/CAN games sold out.

No attendance figures in your link.

Second period much better offensively, still too many sloppy passes and plays.

A bit too nonchalant, I would say.

 

[FrankTheTank]

I keep on thinking they're saying Stalberg then I realize this kid is actually good.

He's Teemu Tallberg and yes he has been great tonight. Hard working player and surprisingly good with puck.

"They don't even have trees there (Oulu)..."

 

[KC91]

Cambell is trying to play every puck within 20 feet of him.

 

[Jussi]

Damn it, Haula! Another great setup by Pulkkinen.

Armia too???!!!

 

[Daneurism]

Can't tell if U.S.A. wants to win...

 

[Kiefer]

Great chance.

 

[dfk711*]

Suomi getting close

 

[brtriad]

Jeez Finland is all around the net.

 

[BlackAces*]

My god

 

[dfk711*]

Ortio with another great save

edit: looked like the post

 

[brtriad]

Did he save that or did Palmeri put it wide?

Ortio looking much better than last year.

 

[Tavaresmagicalplay*]

Wow, unbelievable. He bit so hard on the fake and somehow still stopped it.

 

[worstfaceoffmanever]

Americans aren't skating...

... HOW DO YOU MISS THAT, PALMIERI?!

 

[KingLB]

Post on the first, but the second was even better.

 

[KC91]

Wow what a save.

Finland penalty, USA could put it away here.

 

[Filppula]

Why can't Haula finnish?

 

[brtriad]

Whaaat? That was a wicked shot by Morin.
