GDT: Group B - May 5 - Finland vs Korea

[Mestaruus]

More likely it was more experience from the WHC level.

Actually I got Juolevi ahead of Pokka but the experience of Pokka ties it and then the Kärppä background got him selected. It's understandable Marjamäki chose him.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

It was too easy really. Aho & TT were simply unreal. From the bootom lines I liked Maenalanen's effort. Pesonen had a nice game as well. The rest of Team Finland played just fine, with exception of Pokka who was way too sloppy at times. Rantanen looked kinda disconcentrated in first ten minutes or so.
Good game overall but Korea is definitely the weakest opponent in the group.

Yeah, they were bad. Dalton was their best player.

Shots 45-9
Saves 8-37

Those saves look too pretty for Finns.. Ok maybe not but Korea really had one actual scoring chance/good shot on goal.

And the goal scorer wasn't even Korean.

I didn't have Juolevi outplaying Pokka. Pokka did fine during the camp, and was pretty much a lock even before entering the final weekend, when it was clear there wouldn't all that many names coming in from the outside.

Now, if there's an argument to be made, it's Koivisto over Juolevi. Koivisto was to the Olympics, yes, but his performance there was exactly nothing that would have made him a NT staple. I suspect this choice was affected by familiarity with Marjamäki and perhaps Manner pumping his tires.

Yeah, that too.

Yeah, Juolevi has been struggling as of lately.

 

[Mestaruus]

Best in Overwatch and Starcraft, basically.

Good old SC. Didn't see any Boxer on the ice today from Korea.

A great deal of new content and enhanced graphics. They've upgraded the game multiple times.

OSRS easily the best rs.

I would have had Jokiharju even ahead of Juolevi, but Juolevi after him for sure. They both are clearly better than Pokka

RS3 ftw. I stopped playing because it wasn't fun anymore as playing went from being fun being like a job I just have to do.

Yeah, the grind is hard, once you get to higher levels. Also, the completionist requirements are a chore.

 

[Ippenator]

Have you seen him play lately? Or are you repeating the mantra that the Nucks fans seem to do the whole year, on the basis of how he was almost a year ago at the Canucks camp?

Thread is officially derailed. Let's stick to thet topic, which is Starcraft .

It's only Girgensons in Latvia, anyways.

Yeah I had the same reason for quitting osrs. On the topic would love to see another d tried in pp combinations before elimination games Pokka wasnt really that impressive today

And Runescape.

There are some "old folk" here

How about lets go even further back...lets say, early 90's late 80's perhaps?
