GDT: May 19 • Kazakhstan 3, Finland 4

[FiLe]

Talking about C team guess what team iced their C-team in the Olympics and still managed to medal? Yup, Finland did. This team

Now that's a load of crock. Save for four players, (M.Koivu, S.Koivu, Filppula and Bergenheim) our Sochi team was very much our current A-team.

What are you talking about? It's pretty much common sense that Liiga is stronger than SHL. There is only one team dominating in SHL.....

Go Kazakhstan!

 

[King 88]

Lehterä shoots :O

 

[Stife]

This team is pretty much a tuned up version of Jokerit...

 

[King 88]

Take off good players and its Jokerit

PÄÄLLIKKÖÖÖÖ!!!!

Center is the most important position after goalie and we were missing our 2 best Centers + 3rd. Center (Barkov) only played the first 2 games.

We were also missing our 2nd best goalie (Possible starter) Rinne.

I'd call that really big disadvantage, comparing that to our best possible team and then calling it a B-C team isn't that far-fetched in my honest opinion.

 

[QnebO]

Snipe by OJ.

Hope the Kazak player is ok

 

[punchonico99]

One of the most awful goal I've ever seen.

I guess we had a C team aswell then since we were missing our top 2 centers.

yeah, they really got into opponents head with that one

B team is a team that has more than half its best players missing. C team is the whole squad and then some.

And given how despite missing some top centres, we did have the best replacements available, meaning it could be called a B team if you emphasize the importance of centres, but a C team? Not by a mile.

 

[WinTheRightGames]

That's what I call a dirty goal.

I guess we had a C team aswell then since we were missing our top 2 centers.

But little extra medicine evened things out a bit.

LOL! The players we have from SHL are playing for Finland only because they will be playing for Jokerit next season. Everybody in Finland knows it. And they aren't the only ones. This is a Jokerit training camp not WC for Finland. Happy to get rid of Erkka (and Kurri?) after this tournament.

Btw nice thunderstorms in south west. I wish we'll get some too later this day.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

this team doesn't interest me at all. im at that point that when Finland scores, it pisses me off.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

For a moment i was like damn, did OJ just score on a one-timer? Then i saw the replay

 

[Namejs]

Pretty sure that even the Panthers are better on the PP than Kazakhstan.

 

[m4tt145]

Stay classy, Komarov.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Good god that Finland has strong prospect base (Grandlund,Ristolainen,Armia,Saaros,Kasperi Kapanen etc) Its awful to watch you guys struggle with ****ing KAZAKHSTAN.

Yup, we've had a few this day. I got a nice little migraine to notify me of them... I'm thankful they've cooled the air a bit.

 

[Kharkov]

No thanks for thunderstorms. No thanks for cooling the air.

what does our prospects have to do with this? this team is just trash. simple. it doesn't even have the best players from our own Liiga.

[Always Sunny*]

[Kharkov]

[Killerinstinct]
