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

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Very mature play by Matthews.

 

[skillhockey]

Koskinen with hoover mode

Laine with sum rookie mistake

I think it was offside before the turnover, anyhow no matter. koskinen should never let that go in.

 

[Territory]

Did Matthews get an assist on that? He poked the puck off Laine's stick.

 

[Villert]

Weak goal. Maybe giving that Laine line 20 seconds a period is throwing them off their game?

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Matthews picked Laine's pocket big time.

Yup.

 

[Plural]

This is the only problem thiw our Finnish Lions, why is Koskinen playing over superbly greater goalie Nikke Bäckström? Hopefully the "nose" will find the wise.

Backs is old and over the hill. Shouldn't even be on the team.

 

[snizzbone*]

Seems Matthews line vs Laine line is the matchup. Everytime they are on the ice its against eachother.

 

[Novacane]

Aho is a damn hound on these dump ins

 

[crowi]

I would rather have Saros as the starter if this is what we get...

 

[Levitate]

US hockey needs to do a better job getting guys to this tournament. This team is no where near good enough. Defense is horrid, no depth what so ever. I can understand how this is the best they could have done, unacceptable.

They don't particularly care about the tourney, it's almost more of a developmental tournament for the US where they give young players a chance and potentially develop them for Olympic teams

Not that I'm saying other teams should feel the same way, just that it's not a priority for the US the same way it is for other countries.

The US also probably had more high quality scoring chances before Finaldn scored those two goals but yeah they're defensive play is too loose

I'm sure he did. Deservedly so.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Komarov unleashed.

 

[myzteriouz]

Ohtamaa, has he hit the net once this tournament yet?

 

[AndyA]

Komarov <3

 

[stewpac]

Komarov being Komarov lol

 

[agent082]

Seems Matthews line vs Laine line is the matchup. Everytime they are on the ice its against eachother.

So that why neither of them is playing.

 

[Plural]

****ing Lindell can't shoot the puck to save his life. Why even try?

 

[BB88]

Get that NHL video review out there!!!!

I blame Koskinen that, but looked like everyone was expecting offside call and stopped playing on the blueline.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Another good defensive play by Matthews.

 

[Territory]

Komarov with a manly shift. Guy is a beast.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

****ing Lindell can't shoot the puck to save his life. Why even try?

Lindell & Hietanen should not be allowed to shoot at all. only pass.

 

[BWDude]

Uncle Leo is bae <3

 

[antiqueslivers]

Matthews (aka jack white) is looking good out there!!!

 

[Edgelord]

Matthews is matching up well so far against Laine's line.
He is so solid in his own zone

Man, I ****ing love Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer. Dawson's Creek ftw.
