GDT: Group B - May 15 - Finland vs USA

[Alicat]

It’s going to take a miracle for the US to come back

 

[Alicat]

Kinkaid hasn’t been the same since he was hit in his collarbone.

 

[FinPanda]

This team is so weird it's ridiculous. I've never seen anything like this. How this team can be so good and so bad at the same time?

 

[Ippenator]

Kinkaid is a sieve.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Lmao, we lose to Denmark and Germany...

... but we win against Canada with 5-1 and are going into the 3rd with a 3-0 lead against USA!?


Seriously though our tactics are perfect against good teams, Berry Hill is underrated

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Such a great change of pace from Kreider to take the puck into the offensive zone even when the Finns had 4 back and the US were coming with 3 guys. Those little moves make the NHL level players excellent hockey players.

 

[DoubleGold]

I really like Nutivaara. Happy he was able to make it into the NHL.

 

[Ippenator]

USA gets penalties from nothing. Horrible reffing.

He's not either under or overrated. He's not rated, he's hated.

Ok, so he's overhated?

Sorry to say, but I think losing to those weaker teams is exactly on Marjamäki, as he seems to have problems with motivating and preparing the team well against those teams. Especially after a good game against a top team.

Riikola has been even better than I thought and I thought he has been amazing. He saved a sure goal. Incredible.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

OJ flashing Riikola as a North America- level talent defensively. He's been great in this tournament, that's for sure.

 

[agent082]

USA gets penalties from nothing. Horrible reffing.

It's like watching a game 20 years ago.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Ok, so he's overhated?

Precisely

 

[LAINEC]

Mikko Rantanen looks much better against good teams.

 

[Saekk]

Riikola and Nutivaara have been really good, Pokka and Honka on the other hand, eeeeh..

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Riikola has stood out very positively the whole tournament. I agree with Jokinen here, he could try his luck with NHL.

 

[DoubleGold]

I didn't even know that Lindell has played almost 2 full seasons in the NHL. He was pretty underwhelming a couple of years ago, but it looks like he's gone way past Honka.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Oh god how I wish that Roger Moore (jatkoaika) would have an account here.
All those Inka posts would be so hilarious to read.

He has taken massive leaps forward. Very underrated nowadays, except for Stars fans who knows his value.

 

[MMANumminen]

Some pretty mean hits in that top 5

 

[AutisticGoat]

Its because of the schedule probably. No time to recover. Seems like it have been causing problems to other big teams aswell.

 

[BennsGonnaGetYou]

Aho is now tied with Kontiola for most points in Worlds!
