Kivistö > Lindel

 

[Mahonkinen]

I hope nobody got hurt in the stands...

Hohohoohoh

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

come on hungary, plz score.

 

[Finnsane]

Aho with Barkov and Laine would be so good

 

[Rajna]

My cousin got an offer to play in Hungary. He went to Allsvenskan instead. But he really considered Hungary too.

Good to hear. Well, Alssvenskan is still a lot better than the MOL league, so playing level-wise, he made a good decision

 

[kunekune]

Kivistö > Lindel

Yeah, I agree.

Lindell-Pokka is easily the worst pairing we have. For some reason both have been awful with the puck the whole tournament.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Kaptain...

 

[Finnsane]

The Granlund sauce

 

[Spawnisen]

Finally

 

[Mahonkinen]

Nice pass by granny

 

[LemurFromTheId]

A fluttering saucer!

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Hungary should stick to playing in their own zone. Their O zone play is attrocious.

 

[Rajna]

Sad to see this, this was probably the first big defensive mistake made by us, and Granlund capitalises. We were playing very well in this period, so not good to see this.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Beautiful pass from Granlund.

Granny-saucer is becoming a legend.

At this level, yeah, we aren't fast enough to break the Finnish defense, not even for moments.

But ask Huet if we can play in the offensive zone, he got a taste of it yesterday (unfortunately, he was playing excellent).

 

[Plural]

Saros is super quick with the puck.

 

[kabidjan18]

Mol liga has a good reputation in the region for paying it's players the promised salaries, which sounds like it shouldn't be a problem but often is. Their imports though...usually average CIS grads to below average ECHL players.

 

[Prins Filip]

Yeah, I agree.

Lindell-Pokka is easily the worst pairing we have. For some reason both have been awful with the puck the whole tournament.

They are both calm and slow paced with the puck. They would need a pair able to skate the puck up. Now they are just waiting and waiting for their space to shrink and the forecheck to hit them.

Finding dmen like that in this team is hard tho. Only slow puck-movers and risk-avoiders. Very conservative way to build the defence and one of the reasons I am not convinced with KJ.

Saros is super quick with the puck.

Accurate and smart too! Very impressed!

Of course they are different levels but Hungary isnt really trying to push it and get open for passes and they arent finishing their checks.

Lol, legend score because 2 vs 1 ?

 

[QnebO]

Laine stepped to breakaway but jussi doesnt dish it

 

[kunekune]

Is Jussi Jokinen High?

He is seriously limiting Laine-Barkov tandems play.

No. He just does it often.
