GDT: Group B - May 9 - Finland vs Denmark

[Jussi]

The first time they shoot a one-timer, it's in the back of the net. Who would've thought?

You guys do realisze that TT basically set him up an empty netter?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Danes are going to take this one. Because they are better.

 

[illone84]

Great to see a packed house with the home team in the lead. But I think Finland comes back in the 3rd, and seals the deal with 2-3 goals.

 

[jonlin]

Seems to me Marjamäki went back to his old habits? Tries his old style again when a bit competition comes up. How stupid can you be? No energy-hockey, no "korkea karvaus" and playstyle is back at old habits

 

[17thRoundPick]

Rantanen has been shit awful.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Rantanen is playing injured 100%

 

[Saekk]

I like this kind of game, polar opposite of the first period.

 

[Finnswiss]

Denmark is much stronger than I thought.

 

[Ducks76]

Wow! Now we see the "Paris-Finns"(Remember 1:5 vs France)!

 

[Loffer]

Rantanen has been **** awful.

Nah, it is not him, it is jet-lag or the coach. Or both. Or something he ate before the game.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

No worries, we score four in three.

 

[FinPanda]

Not surprising, great goaltending and scoring from chances they get, solid defense. Danes take this.

 

[Loffer]

Danes are going to take this one. Because they are better.

They might but only after a shootout.

 

[WhatWhat]

Saw the pass that likely caused the outrage

 

[Opak]

Yes...? I did say previously that simple, unscreened shots won't fool a goalie like Andersen, they need to make plays like that to beat him.

 

[Finnswiss]

No worries, we score four in three.

I don't think they are able to score four times in one period this evening against this danish team.

 

[Loffer]

Well, take Clay W out of the line and insert Granny there. Now it is time to drive that hard first punch full speed forward.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Credits where to credits belong. Truly remarkable hockey by Danes. Finns got maybe little bit cocky after three games of massacre, and now there are some serious troubles to adjust to the fact that we cannot expect to play like we did in those carnages, against better/better prepared teams.

Part of me almost hope Danes would take this home. Would be probably better for Finns too in longer run. Team Canada won't give it easy to Finland, and Finns needs to be better prepared. Denmark could act as a healthy reminder about the reality after draconian stratospheric fantasy-burst of offense Finns demonstrated in first three games against hockey-halflings.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I don’t recognize the Finnish team today. They look disoriented and uninterested.

The refs obviously left their eyes at home, but they should still slaughter the danes easily.

I understand why Pokka is stuck in AHL, he is not very good. And Honka fumbles too much with the puck. He should keep it simple.

This game is still more interesting than Sweden - Austria.

 

[Couchcaptain]

Denmark has huge goaltending advantage over Finland. Andersen is 10 times better than Husso, and miles better than Säteri also. That's huge thing.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

We should be able to win this thou in third.

That's Marjamäki's anti-hockey for you. His slow, passive, unimaginative coaching style is incredibly detrimental for the team.

 

[ijuka]

This defensive system is a sieve.

 

[Valdemar]

UUUUUUh Jensen

 

[Finnswiss]

Defense is not really working this evening by the Finns.
