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

And?
That doesn't change the fact that there is zero NHL D-players, and better the teams are the more it's showing, they don't have the skill to move the puck to those NHL players.

We dont deserve to lead 2-0 but I'll take it.

That wasn't meant to antagonize you, just to give props to Koivu...

 

[HarryLime]

Hanifin looks bad

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

is Laine playing?

yeah but not getting ice time at all. ****** coach.

 

[MardyBum]

So why is Hellebuyck not on this USA team?

World Cup I assume. I'm surprised they havent given Demko a start after last year.

 

[QnebO]

Pillu to leafs!

 

[agent082]

is Laine playing?

Barely

 

[Territory]

Granlund should have took a hooking penalty there.

 

[Villert]

So why is Hellebuyck not on this USA team?

I think it was cited that he wanted to concentrate on Jets & World Cup.

 

[Plural]

is Laine playing?

Apparently not. Man Jalonen is an idiot.

 

[kunekune]

Barkov's line missing rotation three times already. What is going on Jalonen?

 

[crowi]

I heard some guy yell "AI PILLU" when I was having a smoke at my balcony.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Finland might be one of the most
Opportunistic teams in international hockey and always have been.

Is this something preached more than usual over there?

and I pray one day my country will have some players who would man up and go represent their country. Like Jesus Christ. It's so frustrating, get your ***** over there like these other players. Get some heart

 

[Jolli]

Granlund doing Grandlund things

 

[McGlassbangers]

Both Matthews and Laine nowhere to be seen so far

 

[Levitate]

Condon is a bad goalie and the US has made some bad mistakes defensively (not just their defenesman but on the 2nd goal, two guys going to the puck carrier, poor backcheck, and started off by a bad pinch)

 

[JTD]

Condon has god awful positioning and his glove hand is nonexistent. It's time to give Demko a shot. He's the best goalie of the 3 and can make saves that Conson and Kinkaid are incapable of making

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Hanifin has been pretty rough in my viewings so far. Can't blame him though, he's playing amongst kids on that US defence

 

[skillhockey]

Barkov's line missing rotation three times already. What is going on Jalonen?

I think he's playing too much match ups, well they up 2-0, don't really care.

 

[WeberStreit]

Team Usa is getting embarassed.
Btw: is Laine playing at all?

 

[NiL8r87]

Both Matthews and Laine nowhere to be seen so far

Matthews had a great breakout pass to Schroeder, Laine had a nice hit.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

You are somehow missing great NHL-ready defensivemen like Pokka, Lindell and Kukkonen. This is wide rink meaning no NHL-experiment necessary!

 

[MardyBum]

Both Matthews and Laine nowhere to be seen so far

Laine literally. I think their line has gotten the least amount of shifts for Finland atm.

Edit : whoops, I jinxed him.

Keyword is "team". Not individuals here.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

We're just getting played off the ice.

 

[Edgelord]

WTH why are they not playing him? I want to see Laine 5 vs 5, I have seen Matthews a few times all ready
