GDT: May 11 • Finland vs. Belarus

[QnebO]

Immonen screening Rinne

Some one hooking aaltonen (own player) to give Belarus a breakaway???

Too many men...


OMG horrible start! WTF

 

[Jussi]

I gues Aki Berg is happy even with a poor salary-sheet

It's a recognized fact pro hockey players have a hard time "letting go" after retirement. He wasn't good enough to be a coach, he didn't exactly do much school stuff so becoming a trainer for TPS first allowed him to still be around the guys and enjoy the atmosphere of the locker room.

 

[Dr Despair]

With the blue ones we have good memories. U20 Gold, 6-1 win 2011 WC Gold game.

White is Finland's primary (=home) jersey. That tradition is decades old.

 

[JJTT]

Awful period. Just shoot the puck instead of trying to force a fancy cross-ice pass.

 

[QnebO]

Oh, it must be that. I only thought VaramiesPalvelu. Like they need new players or something

 

[myzteriouz]

Maybe it is biased eyes but it seems Belarus always gets away with small infractions like hookings, slashings, interference that teams like Finland, Sweden, Canada would be called for...and it is in every Belarus game, like the referees have a different rulebook for them..
Just an observation, not a whine, I just keep noticing it year in and out but might just be biasness

 

[Minttu]

Oh, it must be that. I only thought VaramiesPalvelu. Like they need new players or something

After this garbage play, I'm not calm enough to use words like VaramiesPalvelu.

 

[Igright]

The finnish team doesn't let a goal in for already 13 periods. Fantastic!

 

[FinPanda]

Bad period. Wake up!

 

[QnebO]

Lol, belarus coach thinks thats not a penalty Can you have clearer holding?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Bad period. Wake up!

This was to be expected. We have had perfect results for a while now, game tomorrow against Russia which is most likely on their minds no matter what the coaches say, Belarus lost 7-0/Kostitsyn so it seemed like this would be a piece of cake.

But from the Belarus point of view this is the game to bounce back. Despite the 7-0 loss they've played pretty well.

Told my friend today Finland wins 3-1 but it's not going to be a very pretty one. Holding on to that prediction

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

Kontiola is so bad ffs. he needs 4th line minutes.

 

[QnebO]

Finland playing pond hockey

 

[Jussi]

Pihlström

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Pihlström

I think Pihlström's mm-career is like 70 shots, 1 goal..

 

[JJTT]

Pihlström

Yep..

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

gj Jaakola o,o

 

[Matti_A]

Cinema, cinema!

 

[FinPanda]

Great PK.

 

[BB88]

Our shots are quite weak, Pulu/Granlund duo could have been magic.

 

[tobu]

Just switched the tv on. Someone summarize what has happened so far and why is it 0-0?

 

[FinRuutu]

Just switched the tv on. Someone summarize what has happened so far and why is it 0-0?

Game has been in the corners on both sides.

 

[Jussi]

Just switched the tv on. Someone summarize what has happened so far and why is it 0-0?

Absolutely nothing and that's why it's 0-0.

 

[QnebO]

Just switched the tv on. Someone summarize what has happened so far and why is it 0-0?

Finland has been playing pond hockey. I hope they man up soon..

 

[QnebO]

Lol : Pond hockey continues. Beautiful try to make great passing play goal though.
