GDT: Group B - May 9 - Finland (3) vs USA (2) (MOD WARNING - POSTS 26 & 275)

[Highlander23]

what's the purpose of playing schroeder ? he is useless !!

 

[BB88]

How is that not interference against the Finns, these refs are something else this game.

Reffs have been killing this game, so many brutal calls/missed calls on both sides.

 

[stavs*]

This battle is changing.
Matthews line started great and looks like Barkov line is finishing the game strong.
Looking like a tie.

it should be the Barkov line coming out on top >50% of the game. Matthews is playing with Vatrano and Schroeder lmao

 

[Spawnisen]

Why does Finland have to make it this difficult for itself to begin with? I mean, couldn't they play like this earlier?

Always the case...

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

If the US had even just a little bit more offensive depth, things would be so much easier for them. Truly a skeleton crew.

Give him a Laine instead of Schroeder and things could be different

 

[IronHalen]

Lol Maroon.

 

[Esko6]

Larkin looked hurt there

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Maroon ****ing sucks.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Im not even a US fan and Im nearly screaming at my TV for them to get Maroom off the ice. Lol

 

[LemurFromTheId]

Lindell...

Barkov line has been played like a bottom6 line.
The more they've seen ice the better they have been.

 

[Future]

Shroeder sucks....

 

[Diddy]

Can someone update me on Hanifin? How much time does he get and how's he looked?

 

[IronHalen]

When Pihlström flew by him.

And went on to score right?

that doesnt cut it though, at least admit they were not good/invisible in the first 2 periods. The skill on that line literally trumps the Matthews line AINEC

 

[Edgelord]

When Pihlström flew by him.

he is a forward

 

[jonlin]

Please enlighten me on the "both sides"? I have still not seen too many situations where Team Finland hasnt gotten penalties for clear fouls.

 

[CashMash]

Shroeder sucks....

Yeah. Matthews with a really nice play so far but it died on Schroeder's stick.

 

[FinPanda]

Doesn't these Finland-USA games usually end 3-2 in the WHC? I've seen it a lot.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Can they put Matthews with a decent hockey player.

 

[Esko6]

When Pihlström flew by him.

Not many can match Pihlström's speed. If he had better hands, he would be a star.

 

[Smif]

One of these games I'm sure Matthews will get a pass from his linemates...

 

[Gsus]

And went on to score right?

Well I'm not sure if he went to corner or not but pretty sure that's what happened.

 

[crowi]

Barkov's dekes man.... ****
