GDT: Group B - May 15 - Slovakia (0) vs Finland (5)

[satbank]

Nice save from the goalie.

 

[snipes]

Pretty quiet in here. Suomi needs to pick it up here. Slovaks playing very well so far, keep your head up Laine.

Suomi should break it open here they are far more talented.

 

[jcbio11]

Laine got caught in an open ice hit.

 

[matzz]

Wake up FINNS

 

[satbank]

Both goalie making amazing save or both team can't finish.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Pulkkinen and Laine needs to play full 2 min PP.

 

[snipes]

Goal Finland

1-0

 

[satbank]

Nice shot Fin goal.
nvm hit Granlund feet/leg.

 

[Alexandrov]

Maybe things open up a bit now

e. yea they did

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Pillu!

 

[satbank]

Fin coming to life. That was a sweet move.

 

[jj cale]

Jesus................that took long enough.

 

[JJTT]

Nice play. Finland needs more those type of plays in center ice.

 

[JJTT]

Terrible misses by Slovakia all the time.

 

[snipes]

Barkov is such a good hockey player.

 

[Selannne]

Rantanen....holy...

 

[vendetta]

Looks like barkov has woken up a bit.. laine needs to really progress and evolve his game or he will struggle in nhl... the more watch him the more concerns I get

 

[CashMash]

Barkov, Laine and especially Rantanen looked really good this period despite not putting up numbers. The future looks bright for Finnish hockey.

 

[FinPanda]

Rantanen has been great. Too bad that Sallinen can't score.

 

[JJTT]

Saros is just so much calmer than Koskinen.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Lajunen should take Sallinen's place.

 

[CashMash]

Saros is just so much calmer than Koskinen.

Definitely. I hope Jalonen keeps him in. Has had to make a couple of good saves on nice Slovak plays already.

 

[BB88]

Barkov is such a good hockey player.

It's great that he is finally starting to get the love he deserves.
Laine-Barkov works, just somehow need to get Jokinen going to get rid of him from that line.
Saw that line pay 5 ES shifts and 2 of them were 15seconds on the 2nd, so I'm guessing their icetime won't again be nowhere near where it should be.

Rantanen has won himself a spot on the 4th line and hopefully Saros gets the start against Canada if he keeps this up.

 

[Periwinkle]

Barkov has been amazing. Granlund is playing like a man with a lot to prove, he's constantly been one of our best players.

Laine sometimes seems over confident that he can slow down the game in a smart way, instead he just slows down the whole offense or plays too soft which leads to turnovers. But he's just turned 18 so I'm cutting him some slack, just saying.

Rantanen is a breath of fresh air.

 

[Plural]

I think I love Barkov. What player.
