GDT: Group B • Dec. 30 • Slovakia vs. Finland

[crowi]

Kapanen is terrible.

 

[JJTT]

all that speed and skill, no finish.

jma 2.0

 

[Canadian Finn]

Terrible? You're Insane!

 

[QnebO]

More like countries like Japan and Finland

Hey, I was defending him

 

[agent082]

Slovakia stopped defending

 

[perstakli]

That is the same place.

And secondly, even if Forsberg's 10 points against Japan are not counted, he still recorded 21 points in 6 games.

Just to do the math; 21p / 6gp = 3.5ppg
Puljujärvi in 2016 so far (if he doesn't get any more in this game): 10p / 3gp = 3.33ppg

That is; Pulju isn't far off right now, but no doubt he'll slow down when it's vs Canada, USA or Sweden. We'll see, but the pace is pretty good considering 2 out of those 3 games have already been against top-7 opposition.

jma 2.0

Pretty much. How soon will he start taking the puck behind the goal from breakaways?

 

[FinPanda]

Slovakia stopped defending

Yep all in.

 

[King 88]

Sadly Kapanen has only legs no hands Pihlström vol2.

 

[QnebO]

Kapanen is terrible.

Terrible definitely isn't correct. Even Selänne had long streaks not just finding to net. While no one can be compared to him, it happens to even best. If he can create and get so many chances and still has that good shot as he has shown, there's not much to worry about being terrible.

 

[JFG]

Hey, I was defending him

Sorry, I quoted the wrong post. I've edited now.

 

[hirawl]

Finland will score at least 3 more. Flood gates gonna flood gate and ketchup's gonna ketchup.

 

[Canadian Finn]

He'll get better with age.

Kapanen is a very well rounded hockey player.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

We have scored 15 goals in 3 games now. That's good. Defense is not so.

 

[perstakli]

Come on Kapanen.

[Jussi]

Laine!

 

[agent082]

Finally that worked

 

[Esko6]

Kapanen is trying hard, but just not getting rewarded.

 

[Minttu]

Oh, those kids!

 

[Canadian Finn]

Laine has such a shot!!!!

 

[QnebO]

1st line turns everything to gold, 2nd line can't catch a break in scoring chances. Well, it's the team winning games that matters. Not over yet though, slovakia could easily come back.

 

[Prntscrn]

What no Pulji?

 

[King 88]

Laineeeeeeeeee so pretty shot.

 

[Matti_A]

That is the same place.

And secondly, even if Forsberg's 10 points against Japan are not counted, he still recorded 21 points in 6 games. This graph shows the breakdown:

Yeah, but it kinda ruins my narrative of trying to downplay his achievements.

All kidding aside that record will never be broken.

 

[Novacane]

2+2 for Aho now
