Oh well, this is getting tricky. Koreans are really pushing, they've got nothing to lose. Amazing home crowd and flow going on.
 
Finland going full on Dallas against weaker opponents
 
It's the Finnish mentality when they're the top dog and expected to go far in any competition. Every single Finn will fold in every single sport.
Well with Markkanen it'll be debatable.
 
The key for Korea is to not take a penalty. Keep up the pressure, but don't take a penalty.

Where have all the Marjamäki apologists gone? One disaster after another with that useless guy.

For starters, his coaching seemed to work just fine in the group stage and the game has looked like Finland as a collective is looking to matching up against Canada.
Canada doesn't even have a superior lineup, it's all about if this team can mentally keep themselves in it.
 
Odd...seems like Korea doesn't make drop passes. They have had several chances to use the foreskater to screen and drop the puck back for the shot, but they instead go one-on-one or curl and pass back.

Finns seem to fold in half in situations like these, instead of just crushing the inferior hockey team.

Yeah, Marjamäki's not at his best when the game isn't going according to his carefully selected, hand written and pre-thought plan. Which is the case like most of the time in the fast game of hockey. So, we'll see..

Brock Radunske scored? That has to be the first HFBoards poster scoring against Finland in an international game, right?

The guy blows. Just look at the stats. He's horrible, a disgrace.
 
Koskinen is a terrible keeper unbelievable that finland has no better keeper in whole Europa?

the first period who south korea not lose in this Olympics :-)

hope finland will find the right way till tomorrow
 
Hilarious that Korea guy didn't get penalty about cross-checking. He did about five cross-checks in row and referee didn't give a f*** about it.
 
Looked a tad better again. Basic things like skating, hard work, individual effort, crisp passes and shots. You can forget all the fine details and tactics as long as basics are not there.

Koreans had a nice pressure too in the end. And Lepistö reacted stupidly. .

This game can go really both ways.
