GDT: May 1 • USA vs. Finland

[Minttu]

LOL! What a game!

 

[FinRuutu]

Well... at least theres no way but up from that.

Gratz Yanks, at least no one is underestimating you anymore.

 

[Eco]

I like this Larkin guy, I guess I haven't watched much of him before

 

[mattihp]

A good shot from the defense hadn't been all too bad..

 

[FinPanda]

Jokinen sucks.

 

[QnebO]

WOW, THEY DID IT!!! WOW!!!! Aaltonen is playing with barkov.

Too bad its ****ing 15 seconds before the end of the game when they get the shift

he was lights out in the last wjc

 

[Henri M]

Oh my God that was terrible. Worst finnish team in forever?

We managed the same score against a bad USA team as Latvia managed against a great Canada team.

Go f yourself.

 

[BB88]

Would be nice if someone could shoot or play defense.

 

[Romang67]

Good game by team USA. They got better as the game progressed, Finland didn't.

 

[1Gold Standard]

So is my dream final Canada v the U.S. still possible?

Team USA doing their part. Good stuff.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

good win usa. well deserved we suck. remove Kontiola from the team please. every time he touches the puck, pure **** follows

 

[FDBluth]

How did Eichel look in this one?

 

[Claypool]

How did Eichel look in this one?

Outside of a few impressive drives to the net he didn't generate much, IMO.

What are you smoking? Konna wasn't problem at all in this game.

 

[Gabranth]

How did Eichel look in this one?

Pretty invisible.

 

[BobDobolina]

The Worlds wouldn't be the same without those skoda helmets

 

[Minttu]

We weren't that bad really. We just forgot to score.

Well ok, our pp sucks.

This was just the first game of the tournament. Better luck for the next game. That's what we need...and a lot.

 

[VictorLustig]

How did Eichel look in this one?

Made a good play in the 2nd period. Other than that he was very invisible, turned the puck over a few times.

 

[pigpen65]

Kind of ridiculous for Finland to lose this game at all let alone be blown out. That coach does not look good.

That's the only good thing. We actually created alot of chances, more than opponent, and had alot of beuatiful plays too.. JJ should be an healthy scratch. But because this disaster coach jalonen has took him as a captain, its not an option. 4th line duties it should be then for him. He is slowing Barkov down, Barkov had excellent game today, it just doesn't show when you have guy like JJ screwing everything.

 

[FinPanda]

At least Kojo didn't explain anything.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

An unexpected result, but I'll take it!

 

[JJTT]

lol why did Kemppainen get so little icetime? Easily our best player.

 

[QnebO]

Kari Jalonen shouldn't ever been let close to Finnish NT bench, even if he wins gold with some lucky bounces.
