Okay guys, just keep taking penalties and we should be good.
 
Just cross-check lees and kims to the wall as soon as last penalty ends. Goalie interference works too. What ever. Delaying a game.

More space on ice to outskate Korea if less people on it, I see.
 
This is absolutely ridiculous. Neither team really gets anything out of this kind of game. Except maybe Aho who's going to be tough to beat in the scoring standings.

I think the Korean coach has overcoached the Koreans to a way when they get to the offensive zone they forget that they're supposed to be playing every situation as a 2 on 1 situation whether it be a board play or a simple D to D pass. Every time the puck gets deflected they have guys rushing around for no reason and that leads to so many D's getting caught

TLDR- the distances are too great

I can't understand how is it possible that Korea becomes worse whenever they go on powerplay.
They are pretty good at clogging up the neutral zone when 5 on 5, but when they are on the powerplay they are finally attacking themselves and they can’t anymore clog up the neutral zone. And as their puck control is pretty bad, Finland gets takeaways and with fast skaters like Aho, they can get nice opportunities when the neutral zone is open.

In fact pretty obvious in my opinion.
 
Aho should go to the KHL and he would get the big ice sheet advantage so showcase his true hockey genius and fight for the title of the best hockey player in the world with McJesus. #BetterThanGrannyThe BigIceWizardAsGoodIfNotBetterThanMCDavidSinceHockeyIQisTheKey
 
Game is 5-1, i should be pleased, but i'm not, disappointed.
5 on 5 the game is 1-1,after 2 periods, vs Korea...let that sink in.

Korea just is so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad when on Power Play, its mind boggling.
 
The fifth goal we allowed was very inexcusable and disappointing.
Since you seem to be the only Korean on this GDT, are the originally foreign players for the Korean team acclimated to the culture and live there, talk the language, and do you know if they engage in any kind of programs to promote the sport?
 
Surprised I haven't found Testwuide in the lineup. He goes into the dirty slots a great deal and gets dirty goals.
