[DrunkPerrinFan]

Denmark got this, 3 - 1

 

[Finnpin]

Our 3rd line should be interesting.

 

[Dr Despair]

There were times when this would have been a walk in the park for FIN. That's clearly no longer the case, especially having witnessed the problems that Jalonen's squad suffered in the opening game. If DEN plays like they played against SVK, and why wouldn't they, it's going to be extremely close.

FIN wins 4-3 OT.

 

[QnebO]

Does't make sense to predict easy game these days. Specially when the feeling about our team is as low as this year.

Kinda good though, we get exciting games right away. Is it that if we lose, we are out of quarters?

Alltough, I do sense an universal energy of a wake up and mad lions with a good game in my bones.

 

[admire]

Think the ekstra rest day is important for fin...They want revenge after their opening game.

6-2 fin

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Barkov really needs to step up and show why he is one of the most promising young players in NHL. Of course there are a lot of pressures and expectations and he is 19 years old but he needs to be better than in the first game.

 

[admire]

Morten Poulsen got an injury. The legend Kim Staal dresses instead

 

[QnebO]

Barkov really needs to step up and show why he is one of the most promising young players in NHL. Of course there are a lot of pressures and expectations and he is 19 years old but he needs to be better than in the first game.

He was good offensively in the 1st game. It wasn't on him at all his line didin't score. He generated alot, every time he had the puck he was dangerous. Created one top chance for himself from the slot but hit the crossbar. His linemates need to put those pucks in the net, he isn't a sniper. If we just had Palola with him, we would've probably won last game..

 

[FiLe]

Confirmed FIN lineup.

Rinne (Engren)

Lepistö - Hietanen
Salmela - Lindell
Mäntylä - Jokipakka
Ohtamaa - Jaakola

Ruutu - Kontiola - Aaltonen
Jokinen - Barkov - Donskoi
Pihlström - Immonen - Komarov
Pesonen - Kemppainen - Louhivaara

So Komarov takes Hartikainen's place from the opener and Engren gets to dress as backup.

 

[MMANumminen]

Mäntylä Jokipakka brrrrrrr

Our third line will pile up some bodies. Still no Donskoi Kemppainen duo.

Angry lions will defeat Denmark 6-2

 

[Finnswiss]

I hope the whole team will improve their performance, especially Rinne finds back to his former form of the past years.

Then they should beat Denmark but you never know. In any case is Finland not allowed to lose this one too. But as it's now the second game of the tournament they will hopefully be stronger, I predict a win as a reaction of the USA game.

 

[JJTT]

Why on earth they are still using 8 d-man? No other team is..

 

[Bank]

Kim Staal will be on the fourth line. Speculation that Starkov will move up to the third line. Sebastian Dahm in net for Denmark.

The Danes looked gassed yesterday and today the third and fourth line will see more minutes. They weren't good against Slovakia. Finland will roll over this Danish team easily. 6-1 perhaps?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Without any NHL players i doubt the Danes can do any damage. Those guys usually carry the load heavily for Denmark and have some success against us in the past.

4-0

 

[Hammer15]

Finland will win this easily if they manage to score an early goal... If we're halfway and still 0-0 it will remain a close game to the end. Just like DK's game yesterday.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Want to watch it, but don't know if it will be entertaining enough. I imagine it's going to be to much one way traffic.

BTW, Germany getting utterly destroyed by Canada. They are not getting one single foot to the ground.

 

[mattihp]

Denmark worked their ***** off and should be tired. I hope. If they are able to play as well as against slovakia I will be scared.

 

[Gsus]

Denmark worked their ***** off and should be tired. I hope. If they are able to play as well as against slovakia I will be scared.

And the Lions are angry as hell, should be. So I'm waiting something like 5-1.

 

[Systemfel]

Kim Staal will be on the fourth line. Speculation that Starkov will move up to the third line.

Seems they moved Hansen to the third line, instead.

 

[matzz]

Finland will win this easily if they manage to score an early goal... If we're halfway and still 0-0 it will remain a close game to the end. Just like DK's game yesterday.

Dont be o sure of that. The play our team showed in the Usa game was horrible.. First period was quite good, but after that it was not good. I think it will be a close game acctually 2-1 win for Denmark, and the Finlands misery continues. I hope im wrong though

 

[Sabane]

Why on earth they are still using 8 d-man? No other team is..

I just can't understand it either. Russia played with 3 lines, Finland with 8 D-men...

 

[Nakawick]

I want to bet on this game but not sure who to pick.

 

[Sabane]

I want to bet on this game but not sure who to pick.

Pick UNDER 4,5.

 

[Huokaus]

Any good streams? I'm asking for a friend that's visiting his relatives in the UK.
