GDT: Group B - May 12 - Canada vs Finland

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Darnell getting annoyed by a 4th liner. We take that trade every single time.

 

[Finnswiss]

Big save from Säteri against McDavid!

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Getting walked by the best player in the world doesn't mean Heiskanen is bad..

Lmao, everyone gets walked by Mcdavid

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Holy **** McDavid that would have been nice

True, but it probably wouldn't even crack his top 75 highlight reel lol. Just silly how often he does stuff like that

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

You could put prime Roy in there and it won' make a difference if the defense doesn't wake up.

Except an NHL prime starting goalie doesn't let any of those shots in.

Exactly

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Lol McDavid

Literally looks like he’s playing NHL 18 on Rookie mode

 

[FinPanda]

No reason to shame Heiskanen, McDavid does that to everyone.

 

[Laineux]

Mcdavid often sucks against tight defences. Watched 150 of his games not worried at all

 

[snipes]

Canada busy in laying an egg?

Canada has never came back after being down early?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Got exposed quite badly. Next time he knows to - anticipate (and get wrong footed)!

If I was a D I’d just go for a line change when he gets on the ice

 

[crowi]

Canada has never came back after being down early?

I expect them to come back. They have too much firepower, just the backend is very questionable.

 

[jj cale]

Lots of time for us to come back. A little adversity is good.

It is, get our heads together in the intermission and come out a new team................lots of time .


Need the next goal though, they gotta bear down.

 

[Loffer]

The whole NHL is **** in this line of thinking. McDavid makes every last defender look like that in the NHL.

The guy has some serious wheels indeed, or invisible wings in his back, Jesus something.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Lol McDavid

Literally looks like he’s playing NHL 18 on Rookie mode

Like he always does

 

[Jarey Curry]

After that Rantanen goal I was like MacKinnon who?

 

[RipsADrive]

Stay out of the box and I think Canada can come back.

Those penalties cut twice as deep since it keeps McDavid and Barzal off the ice.

 

[Canuckistani]

Just like in 2016 it seems we're getting our crappy game out of the way in the round robin vs Finland

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I would suggest you try opening your eyes next time you watch games of his

 

[Zybalto]

Except an NHL prime starting goalie doesn't let any of those shots in.

The first 2 go in on most keepers.

I shouldn't have to explain why really.

Problem has been giveways, allowing deflections in close and penalty trouble. Defense overall has been bad.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Go Finland Go!

Bring the Boy home!

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I don’t think our defense is that tight at all...

 

[scotian1]

Sadly we are seeing the results of so many Canadians refusing the call. Meanwhile many of the Europeans who lost out in the first and second rounds have answered their country's call.

 

[Maylo]

Lol Finns PP is 66%.

The 1st goal never goes in. The 2nd is wishy washy but a goalie who is in their zone gets that puck to hit their equipment better than just catching it with an edge and the puck doesn't trickle in.
There's no shame in admitting that McElhinney and Kuemper are trash when expected to play like true #1s.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Like he always does

Yeah, definitely. I tuned into this game because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to watch on TV on this Saturday morning and as soon as I saw McDavid, I figured I would stay.
