GDT: Quarter Final | Finland Vs Sweden | 1/2 @ 1:30PM | TSN/NHLN

[Kiekura]

You can see both teams being nervous as f***

 

[Back in Black]

GO CANADA GO

Oh, and FINNS for the Win!

 

[robertocarlos]

Either the ice is shit or there's embellishment galore going on.

You can't expect good ice this early.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I absolutely hate Craig Button's commentary.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Not sure that's the matchup Sweden wants. Niederbach is like 170 lbs max, and they've got him up against Lundell, who is basically a grown man at this point.

 

[PatrickEaves]

It would be nice if Finlands defence could pass the puck and open the game but maybe its better just stand behind your own net

The defensemen in this tournament have been so disappointing.

 

[snipes]

Brobergs skating definitely looks better today. Doesn’t seem to be labouring the same way, that’s good for Sweden.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Is it a hockey tournament in the winter or Gothia cup in the summer?

World Juniors 2024!

 

[robertocarlos]

I absolutely hate Craig Button's commentary.

He sure knows how to pick out any random player and throw him under the bus.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Horrible skill level so far

 

[Esko6]

I absolutely hate Craig Button's commentary.

What is he saying?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Neither team wants to advance

 

[theslatcher]

Question: Why add an r to Björnfot? He aint a fort.

 

[SUX2BU]

I absolutely hate Craig Button's commentary.

beats this guy .....

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Raymond and Holtz are on completely different pages. Passes to nobody

 

[Macbanan]

Yeah both teams seemed a little scared to lose the game early. Makes sense, both have faced a little humiliation. Finland against Canada and Sweden by breaking the streak and losing two in a row.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Brobergs skating definitely looks better today. Doesn’t seem to be labouring the same way, that’s good for Sweden.

This Swedish team in general doesn't look like a particularly strong skating club. Lots of Bambis with wide turns and ugly strides.

 

[Sean Garrity]

beats this guy .....

You take that back! Pierre is a SAINT.

 

[cleveland408]

When Elmer Söderblom is on the ice it turns into a minute of possession for Sweden.

 

[robertocarlos]

Kvist got kissed with a stick.

Ya Raymond with a bad case of tunnel vision in this period. Skates very well though.

 

[Opak]

Pennanen needs to staple that Finnish 3rd line firmly to the bench. Sucks for Lambert, but that group is by far Finland's worst line.

What's even worse is that they play against the Raymond line.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Raymond and Holtz are on completely different pages. Passes to nobody

Not according to button lmao. He's trying so hard to praise them.

 

[Civetty]

Really bad period of hockey

 

[Bounces R Way]

Pretty sloppy play from both teams so far. Don't think either has completed more than 2 passes in a row.
