GDT: Group B - May 17 - Canada (0) vs Finland (4)

[Murky]

Come on Finns, Perry is Perry. Stupid dick move but don't pretend we like it.

Talbot.

Quite a few calls could have gone the other way too. Canada is still carrying the play but not scoring.

Oh yeah. And Talbot.

Talbot.

 

[GWNR]

Refs are not doing any favors for Canada, several obvious Finnish penalties missed. That said Talbot is horrible 2 very soft goals, and overplayed in the third one.

Perry's move on Laine was BS. He could have avoided contact if he wanted.

Also some pretty salty comments here by some Canadians. Yes, we know you don't care too much for this tournament. Europeans do however. And vice versa, we don't care about the gimmicky little WC you have going on in September.

Trust me, we don't care about it either lol

 

[Drij]

So they choking or just sucks

 

[crowi]

Now let's see our team giving up few bad goals. Canada is the team that can score 3 on us in one period no doubt. No need to get cocky guys.

Time for the usual turtle defense. This game is far from over...

 

[MardyBum]

I was thinking there would be discussion of the game here but seems its mostly sad teenagers releasing their angst. Come on enjoy the game!!

One more period anything can happen, I wouldnt mind if Finland still loses because looks like we are not gonna get to meet Sweden otherwise

GDT's always devolve into this. They should increase the wait time between posts to 2 min so people have a chance to breathe

 

[NiL8r87]

Even Ray Ferraro was appalled by that play and called Perry out on it, that says a lot.

Maybe it just goes to show that our commentators aren't as biased as some people assume.

 

[aphyro]

My respect to Perry is totally gone..what a *********..hope Laine is okay

What did he do?

 

[Super Cake]

Love the Canadian fans downplaying this tournament now because they're finally losing in a game.

I downplayed this tournament even before it started.

 

[Urbanskog]

Finland has benefited from the refereeing tonight but it's not like Canada is down by three goals because of that.

I don't think we care about the World Cup either

 

[BlueSaint]

I guess Marchard gave up on trying to trash talk Laine down?

 

[Eye of Ra]

0-3 to finland?

seems like canada is not as good as last year.

finland and russia will play the final.

 

[Lapa]

Alright, everyone. Start discussing in a civil manner.

Last and only warning.

 

[JayKing]

Perry is a rat. Typical behaviour from him. If he wasn't playing on the west coast, him and Dustin Brown would have a reputation similar to Brad Marchand

Yeah calmer heads prevail after the game with more time to reflect.

This one is over for Canada. Thankfully not a knock out game.

 

[McDreamy]

I don't know but it's taking a lot out of me to no get banned right now by letting him have it.

I feel the same reading your dumb posts about Talbot.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

0-3 to finland?

finland and russia will play the final.

they aren't

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

tried to kill Laine

Don't take this seriously 'Nucks

 

[Booster*]

Quite weird that all of the sudden this tournament is mickey-mouse and not important, i guess you would say the same if score was the other way around?

How come you watch the game and bother to write here if it´s not interesting?

 

[canwincup]

Perry doing Perry things.....shocking, and Talbot has been soooooo infuriatingly bad.

 

[Cellee]

Love the Canadian fans downplaying this tournament now because they're finally losing in a game.

Canadians downplayed it last year when they won it.

 

[oXo Cube]

Threads for blowout international games are always such a gong show.

Congrats to Finland, they're playing well and deserve to be ahead.

 

[Scotty B]

Laine seems to be hobbled....might wanna keep him stapled to the bench in 3rd...Hopefully, he doesn't wind up with a nagging injury that will impair him in the do or die games...

 

[Murky]

It's actually laughable. Shin pad on shin pad and being are saying he should be banned from the tournament? One poster said he'd be banned in the NHL for that..

Hockey is a tough game. Even this tournament with our mediocre roster.

Back to back Olympics champions, I don't put much faith into these Mickey Mouse tournaments. Case in point - the main focus is on 2 18 year old prospects.

It's not laughable and shin pads do not prevent knee injuries. It was an intentional dick move. I do not think Perry tried to injure Laine rather just get him agitated. But it could have been bad. So yeah. A total dick move.

 

[LOFIN]

Trust me, we don't care about it either lol

I don't think we care about the World Cup either

And that's good, that tournament should have zero credibility among hockey fans. Might be fun to watch of course but still.
