number 7 niko mikkola is pissing me off with his awful decision making

Same.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

So canadians are afraid of Finland, I see.

Your 'kids' line is very dangerous .

 

[Johno]

yeah Rantanen - Hintz looking much better with Kalapudas. KK was definitely the JMA pulling them down.

 

[Gsus]

Gotta love Niku's game when carrying the puck up. He's so calm and flies past.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Why? Too lazy to check myself.

If Finland wins you guys plays Canada but if you lose Canada plays either the Czechs ot Slovaks

 

[tmlmatus]

Great game so far.

 

[JJTT]

Did Kunnas get fired? Salminen and Tapsa are much better.

 

[Lennu32]

yeah Rantanen - Hintz looking much better with Kalapudas. KK was definitely the JMA pulling them down.

Kasperi has looked a lot better, too

 

[Gsus]

If Finland wins you guys plays Canada but if you lose Canada plays either the Czechs ot Slovaks

Yeah, but you guys shouldn't really worry who you gonna face. I mean Finns would be underdogs against Canada, but the homecrowd gives always some power.

 

[Bjornee]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

 

[Canadian Finn]

on purpose?

never!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

How can one in the states watch this live legally? Or is the only option to watch the 1 hour replay on NHL Network after the U.S. Game?

 

[FinPanda]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

Are you scared?

And absolutely not. They are playing great, just unlucky.

 

[LOFIN]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

Looking at the performance of Team Canada so far, why on earth would they want to lose on purpose?

 

[perstakli]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

Traditionally we're **** at taking tactical losses. Also, if the option is playing Sweden, definitely not.

 

[agent082]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

Finland is not Sweden.

 

[Lennu32]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

No. Not our style at all

 

[Canada4Gold]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

ummm so they could face Sweden instead? If they lose in regulation that's who they face guarenteed.

If they were worried about that they could win here and lose on purpose against the Czechs to get 3rd, but then they face the USA.

Either way it's a tough match assuming Russia clinches 1st tomorrow there's not really any point

 

[Esko6]

Hintz has great speed, vision and puck protection, but damn his faceoffs are so bad. He would be an awesome all-around player if he was more reliable in the faceoffs.

 

[BB88]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

No reason, 1st off to lose 2 in a row and go against Swe.

 

[agent082]

Pass Kapanen please

 

[Lennu32]

WTF Kapanen?

 

[Esko6]

Well, that play by Kapanen was bad.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Any chance Finland would lose on purpose to avoid Canada in qfs?

Doubt it. Canada Sweden USA take your poison. Wouldn't say Canada's even better than the latter two this year.

Enough with the off topic language discussion. Talk about the game.
