GDT: Group B - May 8 - Finland vs Norway

[JustaFinnishGuy]

as much as I like Mertaranta as a commentator, he is still so clueless.

some KHL forward gave a horrible pass to Heiskanen and Mertaranta blamed Heiskanen that he couldn't handle the pass. Sometimes I get so pissed at these little things.

He's clueless but people are nostalgic because he was the play by play guy in 2011..

And frankly, that's the reason why he's still employed to this day. Any other announcer would have been given the boot already if they made as many mistakes he has

Honka lost the puck while sticking with the puck for 5 seconds spinning in place and Mertaranta lauded his great dangles.

 

[Saekk]

Aho and Teräväinen assisted Granny’s goal. So 0+2 after all for Aho.

0+1, after Honka got tripped, Teräväinen took the puck and passed it to Granlund.

 

[Ippenator]

Even though nowadays i don't really care for Mertaranta, he is such an upgrade after having to listen to Saukkonen for 2 games.

I agree, although Antsa seems to have already become a bit senile. Constant mistakes and wrong players called. But he is still way more enjoyable compared to Saukkonen.

 

[Legend Leinonen]

6-0 but Aho only got 0+1, what a bum, he's busting!

According to boxscore he got secondary assist on the Granlund goal too. Not sure how it really went.

I'm feeling 2 more points for Aho in the 3rd.

Btw I'm really glad that Norwegian missed his check on Aho in the neutral zone. Aho was coming with high speed and wasn't watching in front of him. Kind of like Laine's concussion last season vs Buffalo. Luckily it missed.

Really? That is good news.

Good chance by brain dead kapanen there

teksti-tv at least got secondary assist to go to Honka, but who knows, they aren't the most reliable ether

 

[Legend Leinonen]

Stop complaining about Mertaranta.

 

[FinPanda]

Two posts in this period already lol.

yes same, his voice is pleasant so I forgive him these things.

 

[LOFIN]

Hopefully Haukeland shuts the door in this period.

2011? Try 1995...

 

[Loffer]

Janne Pesonen? Where did that guy emerge from? Under an ice age stone, lol, strange so see him there. Not a word about Larry here, just a note.

Or because he was pbp guy in 1995, too.

He has been one of our best players lol.

No, that goes WAY before 2011.

You really think people think 95 in favor of '11 when it comes to Mertaranta? So many people have already forgotten what kind of deal it was and I certainly couldn't remember if I wanted since I was born 3 years after 95.

The point hasn't changed one bit. He's inadequate in his field nowadays.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Hard to remember since I was born -98. The point still stands fully.

 

[mattihp]

For me Mertaranta is 95 and foremost 98 (OG); since I saw 95 live.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

It's a moot point anyways. It's not like it hurt that he was the guy in 2011 also.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Norway getting dirty. Nice. Not.

I was 5 in 95, mertsi was star when i went to school. Everyone knew him. It is from there and 11 too

These Honka bros are quite velikultia. They want to dangle in a phone boot except in even more inappropriate places and situations just for the the thrill and fun for it. Orange Julius and Jukka Poika, I salute you and your playfulness and some balls of steel.

 

[DoubleGold]

Said they were gooning it.
