GDT: Group B • Dec. 31 • Finland vs. Czech Republic

[Captain Timo]

So wait.. Does Finland have a F playing D? Watching this on TSN and I believe it's Craig Button who keeps mentioning some guy for not being natural on D?

 

[agent082]

We only have 4. And it showed again.

What have I done to you?

 

[matzz]

Another goal by Siikonen's man. But at least he can skate backwards

Who the hell would u play defence ???

 

[Muston Atthews]

Finland really seem to have trouble winning the battles along the boards.

Which is crazy considering the size of Puljujarvi and Laine

 

[gwh]

Finland really seem to have trouble winning the battles along the boards.

FIN has 4 D and 1 center playing D. Anything over 45sec shift will grill the D.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

It's not Siikonen's fault he doesn't know defensive coverage or how to play defense.

 

[Minttu]

Only 4 d-men. The 3rd period will be brutal for us.

Siikonen on ice again when Czech scores. To be honest, I have no idea what we should do. But Siikonen as a d-man doesn't work.

 

[Villert]

It's odd that they keep letting him get stuck with the tougher matchups.

 

[wings5]

I feel awful for Siikonen, I remember having to play an unnatural position at a high level, the play is just so fast and you're not that comfortable, plus the home crowd I can't imagine the pressure he's feeling.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

I can't spell his name

 

[Finnsane]

Whaddya Gonna Do? Who would you like in his place then? Kapanen? Or play with 4 defenseman?

Who the hell would u play defence ???

No clue.

 

[matzz]

No clue.

it sucks, but hopefully are they back to the quarter

 

[Jussi]

Hintz ties it!

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

2-2 game

 

[Ajaton Azer]

What is the grill in makrill there's not enougn oomph in young Finnish lions play! Having one less defensiveman is no excusing for losing to Czhechs.

There's the evening score to 2-2, nicely done from number 10!

 

[matzz]

Yeaah....great !

 

[satbank]

Fun game, bad turn over.

 

[czechcanadian]

what a gift... Dang thats unlucky for czechs

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Hintz looking real good

 

[agent082]

One thing is that as a home team they should try to avoid him to play against Czechs first line.

 

[GPF]

what entertainment ... i was following the wrong group

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

atta boy kappy drawing that penalty
monstrous hit too

 

[agent082]

Stupid penalty

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I don't see Canada beating either of these teams. Great game so far

 

[czechcanadian]
