GDT: Group B - May 8 - Finland (3) vs Czech Republic (4) (SO)

[Orange Dragon]

Expecting a close game, Finns will try hard to prove everyone wrong.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Bounce back game for Finland...3-2 in OT.

 

[QnebO]

What has JMA done to earn spot in the 2nd line? He shouldn't be playing at all. Wth Marjamäki.

JMA was fine last game, even good. He actually created scoring chances quite a bit. Miro aaltonen was not doing anything usefull, and center lajunen was just bad. One of them shouldnt play at all.

 

[DaJackal]

To be fair, JMA didn't look bad last night. At least compared to others. He is a definite wild card. But Pillu as 2C definitely looks ugly. I would have gone:

Osala-Filppula-Rantanen
Pyörälä-Aho-Puljujärvi
Savinainen-Kemppainen-JMA
Hännikäinen-Lajunen-Pihlström

...but that's just me.

 

[Pandaman11]

Looks like Jandac is going front-heavy: Voracek & Pastrnak on the same line.

 

[Vimpelin Voima]

Rantanen been the worst forward in his line so he should be promoted to first line to reward that?

Oh, looks like that was exactly what happened . Rantanen was just not the right fit for that line, it is not like the talent isn't there.

Edit: Also, the first line needs to be stacked to even have a small chance of stopping their insane first line with Voracek and Pastrnak.

Really? Most of the time when I saw Nuhamatti with the puck, he passed it to opposition.

 

[Lempo]

Obelix is not fat enough.

 

[Matti_A]

Fil the Thrill...almost flubbed that

 

[MMANumminen]

Lions are angry. Will be hard night for Checks

 

[BB88]

How is this a 2nd line in WHC?

You know the team is bad when a 4th line winger is a #2C.

Filppula is a true sniper.
Pasta line scares the hell out of me.

 

[kary]

Well that was an epic fail by our D...

 

[Finnswiss]

What, the Finns lead 1-0. Game begun well for them.

 

[Gsus]

YESS! Its going our way, finally.

 

[BB88]

Hahhah

Is that now 4 points for Rants in this tourney?

 

[Matti_A]

Hahaha 2-0, the big hairy yak Jaakola

 

[Finnswiss]

2-0, Jaakola!!

 

[Lempo]

I didn't bet the hundred, in case someone is wondering.

 

[FinPanda]

Lucky goal but I'll take it!

 

[KurtSloan]

This goal was a pure badluck...

 

[BB88]

Pyorala could have kept his eyes open.

 

[kary]

Our 2nd line -2 points in two shifts ... stronk, they look like they are asleep.

 

[myzteriouz]

plenty of time to lose still, this is how we started against Belarus also and almost ****ed it

You're wrong, you're safe when you're 2-0 up in hockey.

 

[Gsus]

Czechs, if you score make sure it's Voracek or Gudas.
