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

[Lonny Bohonos]

Ill say it again. Dumba is such a stupid player.

 

[snipes]

Finnish goaltender has looked very good.

 

[Cellee]

It was a cheap play by a cheap player. I hate even seeing him wearing the Maple Leaf. Marchand too.

Captain no less.

Not exactly a leader.

 

[1Gold Standard]

It was a dangerous play in any case.

On the Corey Perry scale of dirty, that play rates a 2 out of 10.

A lot of overreaction going on here.

McDavid takes run at Laine..... Perry by osmosis

 

[crowi]

They only have 0 goals because of some unfortunate bounces.


They've controlled the play and had the better chances. Poor goaltending and some good Finnish goaltending has been the difference so far.

Vastly disagree on "better chances". Now they have a PP let's see how it goes.

I have zero faith in him. One good game doesn't change that.

 

[KPower]

This losss may help Canada.

Adversity and getting that oiler sieve out of the net.

 

[GWNR]

Good on Finland.

They're a strong team and show up in every international tournament.

We'll see you guys again in the elimination round!

As for Perry's play. I don't think it's nearly as bad as some are making it open to be, but let's be real. If someone hit McDavid like that I'd be pissed. Countryman bias at it's best!

Cheers everyone

Your avatar picture looks like Laine, lol. His face on the bench after Perry bumped him.

Are you really serious with this stuff?

Is finishing a hit nowdays "taking a run" at someone?

 

[Plural]

What on earth is happening here. The puck is like remote controlled against Canada.

 

[Esko6]

Finland turtling. Expect Canada to tie.

 

[I am not exposed]

Is Matheson playing?

 

[NarcoPolo]

since when did mcdavid get so chippy? lol

 

[Canuckistani]

Hopefully this game will be a wakeup call, like Canada's 6-2 loss to the Czechs in 2004 just before the QFs. Canada went on to win gold.

And again, this presents us with an easier path - Sweden, then Czech/USA, instead of Russia in the SF.

There's an intent to injure and he accomplished that.

It's a garbage play.

A loss can usually wake up a team. I think Canada will be back with a second wind after this game.

because Pickard is the answer

 

[Cellee]

It was cheap. I am not sure it was dangerous.

 

[Ranksu]

Finnish goaltender has looked very good.

Compare to Talbot?

 

[NiL8r87]

The game should really be 1-0 at worst. Most of the game has been in Finland's zone. This one's on Talbot.

It is to the overreacting finnish fans.

 

[The Drop]

because Pickard is the answer

Can't be any worse than the garbage currently in net

It sucks to see players get hurt by stupid and unnecessary plays. Certainly not the worst I've seen from Perry, but stupid and unnecessary nevertheless.
