Might have missed something but where is Nattinen?

Healthy scratch, he basicly made the team already along with Tuulola and Saarela.

Alright, thank you. How did he look yesterday?

 

[FINNtastic]

2-3 brilliant goal by US 1st line. DeBrincat scored. Now FIN PP

 

[Mestaruus]

Apparently TV1's Urheiluruutu is showing a short clip from the game now. Starting in a minute or two. That's what I heard at least.

 

[SpinninRodIntoArmpit]

Nice goal by Aho. Laine looked ok in those short clips, good open ice check, some nice deking.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

How does Schmaltz and Boeser look?

lol and i didn't even see it myself. Had TV2 open thinking it was TV1 sigh . Well MTV3 had all the goals yesterday so I guess I'll see them anyways.

 

[Jussi]

They have declined to have ads in the jerseys, though. It's a great thing.

Tv broadcast rights revenue sort of covers for that. We don't have that luxury in Europe.

 

[Mestaruus]

3:21 left and PP for USA. That will leave Finland 1 minute to tie it unless Aho can score on the PK as he was hyped by some.

American sport culture/marketing is the worst cancer there is. Please none of that here in Europe.

You're so right.

 

[FiLe]

What's more important than the result is that the "right" individuals are doing well. Two of USA's goals have come while we've had our scrubs on ice (the third came for Aho's unit), and 1st has been keeping a clean sheet.

Means Jalonen won't get any bold ideas that leads to stupid cuts.

 

[Mestaruus]

On Jatkoaika someone said it looked like Kähkönen got injured . Let's hope it was a precaution.

Happened conveniently on the half-time mark, so I guess we'll see.

Yep I'm aware...

 

[JJTT]

USA wins 3-2

Are they publishing the final roster tonight?

 

[FinPanda]

We lost also 3-2 to USA before the 2014 U20 tournament. It was also 22.12.

Need to stay positive.

 

[Mestaruus]

It's nice that our first opponent is Belarus so we can sort of treat that as another exhibition game and find the right lines etc. Although seems pretty clear Pulju-Aho-Laine will stay together.

 

[FINNtastic]

2-3 FT. Best players Milano and Aho.

 

[NTDP]

You think anyone can dig up the video footage you said they showed covering some of the goals?

 

[Macman]

Yes, they need to keep as clean and pure as FIFA and the IOC do.

 

[Jussi]

USA wins 3-2

Tomorrow.

 

[Jussi]

Yes, they need to keep as clean and pure as FIFA and the IOC do.

What exactly do two sports governing bodies have to do with sports marketing in Europe?

 

[FINNtastic]

Yeah it looked like he got injured but he played a few shifts after the incident.

 

[NTDP]

How'd Villi Sarijaarvi look? I've enjoyed watching him in Flint all year.
