GDT: May 22 • Quarterfinal • Canada 2, Finland 3

[Jussi]

You should not be this cocky. Except the Olympics success, Canada has not won anything in 5 years (WJHC and WHC )

In fact, if not for the Olympics, Canada starts to forget what medals look like

I'd trade both of our WC golds for one Olympic gold.

 

[glue]

Awesome..well done Canada

 

[KurtSloan]

I would prefer Canada as an opponent in semifinal..but congrats Finland. It will be tough.

The only true best on best tournament is the Olympics, and it wasn't even close.

 

[Wireman]

Oh my god... we won? We actually won?

 

[Stats01]

lol at Buffalo fans going to defend Myers that he's a #1 or even a #2 D.

Not even close. He's garbage, he's just a tall lanky giant that is soft as butter. This guy needs to grow a pair of balls sooner or later or he's going to go down as one of the worst top 15 picks ever. This guy is a #5-#6 d-man right now. He blows.

He's one of the dumbest players I've ever watched play this game. My goodness.

 

[Kharkov]

And what's the only tournament that's best on best?

Fifa world cup next month

 

[gusfring]

Except for the #1 best on best tourney, we haven't had much success. good one.

 

[Kirk Mclean]

It's not as bad cause we won the real tournament already lol

 

[NyQuil]

Can you honestly say Myers was the better option?

Canada had ample opportunities to win the game with the guys that played.

 

[JayKing]

Scrivens though... yikes.

 

[Hemsky001]

Yeah!

Now, let's Finnish the Czechs!

No. We'll czech the finnish.

 

[Lapa]

This is not the thread to discuss the importance of this tournament. If you don't care, don't post.

 

[QnebO]

Jookkeriiiiit

 

[ranold26]

Time for the national anthem of Estonia!

 

[leafsfuture]

So Tippet decides to put Rielly on the ice for the first time since the 1st period with under 2 mins to go. That's gonna work out!

This is the freaking problem.

Anyone who watched this tournament knows Myers is a bad turnover waiting to happen. He just has this obsession of being PK Subban and always turning back.

In this type of game, against a fast Finnish team, you cant play your defense the way you did in the round robin. You have to use the puck-handlers. Ellis was terrific today. Even Bieksa, who I was critical of had a much better game.

Up front, absolutely no consistency. Huberdeau was not getting a consistent shift with a line, and Brower and Burrows kept getting thrown out there even though they did jack offensively

 

[Frank the Tank]

For the first time in 22 years!!!

I prefer this one:

 

[llwyd]

Is FEL better than NHL?

Rinne - Canada 3-2

I understand - apart from 50% of the goals conceded - that he was really good, but God, how did he manage that hat trick???

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Is FEL better than NHL?

Rinne - Canada 3-2

he plays in the NHL

They won the most important ones though.

Today was the first game I've watched any of in this entire tournament and it was shocking how terrible Canada's roster was.

This line-up wouldn't win the Spengler Cup.

 

[Lapa]

Rinne stole us this game. I really liked this Canada team, shame to see them go.

 

[ViD]

How they're going to bring them, at gun point? You can't force players to play.

Easy solution - refuse to play at the WHC without a sufficient reason - not going to be selected for the Olympics

 

[MMANumminen]

Is Jeff Lee a brother of Ken Lee?

 

[44]

WOW! What a win. Classic Finland.
Win the right games!!

 

[NyQuil]

Ah well, some of the young kids looked good.

Good to get some international experience.
