GDT: May 1 • USA vs. Finland

[QnebO]

It's our soft, small and slow European defensemen that is the issue.

And lack of shot quality. Barkov is a really good shooter though, but shoots way too little amounts of shots.

 

[Mogo]

Worst coaching? Komarov not "signed". Ristolainen a RHD and better than any d we got left out? Players having AWFUL seasons in europe making the team just because old merits (sauna club is strong)

 

[FinPanda]

I'm no more so optimistic. There are too many mistakes in the game of the Finns, the PP doesn't work too.

Yea, I know its hard to win. But always I can hope..

 

[Samkow]

Who the hell would get their mom 30 dollars worth of chocolate strawberries for Mothers Day?

 

[QnebO]

Seriously, was Ristolainen only left out because the coach didn't think he would fit in?

Yes. That is the world record of idiotism in player selections. This is by far, alot worse than Jukka Jalonen not taking Jussi Jokinen in 2010 olympics.

 

[Romang67]

At least there he can claim that he did it for personal glory, not wanting another JJ on the team.

I mean, I can't say for certain since Salmela left Atlanta fairly quickly, but I don't think he's better than Ristolainen...

 

[Romang67]

Barkov is great. I think he looks smaller than he did a year ago though.

 

[BB88]

And lack of shot quality. Barkov is a really good shooter though, but shoots way too little amounts of shots.

Our best player is Selke player, I'm worried that who's going to score against top teams, when especially we have a weak D that can't cover that.

 

[Romang67]

Finland with nothing going for them the first six minutes.

 

[FinPanda]

Hockey is young men game. Why we have so many old defensemen..?

Now I understand why you have been so angry.

 

[Jussi]

Moses again. No, Bonino tipped it in just before the line. Game over.

 

[QnebO]

Moses!! Beat the **** out of that team KoJo.


Seriously.. I hope we bounce back and I'm even pretty sure about it. But no one can say this wasn't expected. After messing with the selections and those pre tournament games, it was clear it'll be a hard tournament.

 

[Romang67]

And that's a bad goal on Rinne. Could be game, unless we see an insane push by Finland.

 

[aphyro]

Haha 4-1

 

[Finnsane]

Rinne can't catch anything today

 

[Hemsky001]

hate to say that but Rinne sucks hard today

 

[m4tt145]

Wtf is these goals?

 

[The Gloaming]

Is Rinne usually this bad in low shots? Because his 5 hole has been horrible.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

4-1 USA!

Man that US forward lineup looks horrid.

 

[Gabranth]

Hockey is young men game. Why we have so many old defensemen..?

Now I understand why you have been so angry.

Because unlike Sweden, our prospects suck.

 

[SidDidNothingWrong]

I am loving our movement right now. Damn.

 

[FinRuutu]

Wtf is these goals?

Moses has the power of split the goalie.

 

[Minttu]

Great.

 

[KAPOW]

rinne with the softies today

I miss westerlund.
