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

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

Think about that even his play has not been very solid, he is still team's best scorer. I would not expect Laibe to be ready in NHL right away, he ill need time to develope

 

[MMANumminen]

Rantanen has already been more dangerous than Pulu

I agree on laine he is their best score right now bUT im talking about it translating to nhl.. i think he struggles early and well see how ge adapts his game... as of now i would think ahl to to start.. the tools and physical ability is there tho could use some work on his footwork... and rantanen has looked good... I don't get the jokinen criticism too much.. he has a point in every game does he not? He is responsible veteran probably good to have with 2 really young players..

 

[Alexandrov]

Finnish defense is completely incapable of getting the puck to forwards during breakout

Yeah. Jokinen did have one or too bad games in this tournament so far, but I think he is generally way underrated. You have probably seen this article, but I might as well link it just in case.

Barkov is just filthy, Florida will win a cup within 10 years

 

[Plural]

How good is this Barkov kid? Oh good lord he's amazing.

 

[Finnsane]

LOL crowd singing Saravon Pekka

 

[DrunkPerrinFan]

surely saros will play against canada?

 

[goblin3]

I don't like Jokinen on the pp. Laine was completely open for one timer but he forces the same play every time.

 

[Finnsane]

Barkov is so freaking strong on the boards

 

[Jakk123]

We are playing the most boring hockey among all participants of the elite division.

 

[BB88]

Loving Rantanens game.

Hopefully this is the wake up for Jokinen, was trying too hard today to score a goal.


Laine!!!!!
3 point night for Barkov.

 

[vendetta]

Man rantanen is flying out there tonight.. ,ight wanna play him with someone who can score.. he looks damn good

 

[JJTT]

Dear god Sallinen, score..

 

[Mahonkinen]

Would like to see Rantanen with Laine-Barkov. I want our future here right now!

Goal by Finnish breakout!

e. and Laine gets what is rightfully his

 

[vendetta]

Nice pass by dman.. pretty sweetgoal.. and now laine with a snipe lol

 

[goblin3]

Wow last minute Laine again.

 

[Mahonkinen]

Dat wrister!

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Yes Laine.

 

[CashMash]

Funny! I said Laine has to get a point exactly two seconds before the play started developing.

 

[DaJackal]

Laine refuses to get left scoreless.

 

[Jakk123]

We should be relegated, not Belarus nor Hungary. This is a disgrace to elite division.

 

[snipes]

Congrats Suomi.

Our showdown awaits .
