GDT: Pre-tournament • Dec. 19 • Canada vs. Finland

[Back in Black]

In the west, anyone who uses telus and has the sports package. So a few million people out west.

Well there's a trillion here in the East, and it sucks....

 

[Canucks LB]

This is not right time to test anything.
Tests are made now it's time to play and earn spots on the final team.

Unofrtunately there's zero chance Luukkonen comes to rescue Finland's U20's.
He's playing in U18 tournament in Switzerland.

Maybe you are right, Than they should start playing the proper units the proper minutes than, before it's a complete blowout.

It's just a pre tournament game but I would like to see Chabot paste a couple more guys, just to set the tone for this team loud and clear.

 

[snipes]

Snipes....how has Myers looked? I have watched some but also watching the Flyers game.

He looked good. Really smooth skater, him and Chabot looked very good out there. Myers was steady and he really moves well for a big man, nothing jumped out and that's a good thing.

Not super noticeable. Nothing bad though.

 

[Canucks LB]

Anybody have a box score?

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

If it is on the net it is a goal. The finn goalie has been AWFUL.

What did you expect Finland's starting goalie is a bust who wont ever become NHL goalie and defense lacks physicality ( Niemeläinen, Felixson or Eemeli Räsänen).

4-0 i'm done this is sickening.

 

[Mestaruus]

Is Vehviläinen sucking it or what? What the ****?

When does he not suck? Luckily it's just a practice game. I hope our coach knows what he is doing and won't play that guy in the real tournament. He just can't handle the pressures and won't ever be NHL goalie either.

I don't think you should over react just yet, clearly the coach is trying out some stuff, The two best defenders for finland are playing average minutes and havent been scored against yet.

By the start of the Tourney, I can see the unit play 24+ minutes a game, instead of what 13 atm.

 

[Loffer]

Bad worse Veini Vehvilainen.

He should forget this hockey thing and focus on getting an education or something. Poor kid.

Thanks. I was hoping to see TOI

 

[BB88]

Excellent period, good effort and hustle. Completely dominated the Finns the entire period.

Not the most difficult period for Canada

Tough to expect anything from the guys when the goalie gives up a goal every time Canada shoots.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Canada is gonna miss high minute reliable player like Hicketts. There's just no one that can compare on this years team.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Can Finland still pick Niemeläinen and possibly Luukkonen?

 

[Mestaruus]

Not the most difficult period for Canada

Would be more beneficial to have empty net and 6 players.

 

[xIsle]

Is this Finland final line-up? Did they scratched some key players for that game? And why is Barzal wearing number 14 not 13?

Vehviläinen continues for that how he ended in Helsinki.
But there's no better option for starting goalie Ruusu is what he is and Kaarlehto is probably 3rd goalie.

Luukkonen should be in the team but that ****ing [MOD] Rautakorpi didn't realize to test him.

Yeah I'm not expecting the same level of success against better goalies in the tournament.

 

[Gsus]

Why isn't Luukkonen there for example? You just knew that Vehviläinen would blow it up.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Can Finland still pick Niemeläinen and possibly Luukkonen?

Niemeläinen has some confidence issues in Saginaw and also he's injured.
Luukkonen is U18 tournament in Switzerland so answer is NO.

 

[Loffer]

With that joke goal tending there is a real possibility Finland will get relegated to some Division 2B.

 

[Alex91]

Thank god

 

[Mestaruus]

Luukkonen should be in the team but that ****ing dick Rautakorpi didn't realize to test him.

Would love Luukkonen too.

How has Speers been?
