What a spin to create space for that pass!

 

[Ginger Papa]

This has 1-0 in OT written all over it to me. Both goalies playing well!

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I didn’t even bring it up. I was the first comment in the thread about the Beecher hit saying it was bad. Go back and look!!!!

That wasn't the point we were arguing about. You said that the Finns have gotten their fair share of penalties to a Finn who demanded a penalty after a normal penalty play.
That's not how it works and never how it should work.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Goalie showdown.

 

[grieves]

I like.

 

[agent082]

Great save by Knight.

 

[jj cale]

Thats one huge stop by Knight there, possibly a tournament saver.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Knight has picked a good day to show up for the tournament.

 

[robertmac43]

Spencer Knight take a bow on that one timer save!

 

[Tomas W]

A Goalie battle this.

 

[snipes]

Finns playing with that heart and soul. Or as their Canadian equivalent known as sisu.

Can’t help but admire the fighting Finnish spirit.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

So nervous for USA here. Need Robertson to experience and succeed through pressure moments like this for his development. Hoping USA pulls through

 

[Quality Oil]

Knight is feeling it

 

[SabresSharks]

Both goalies excellent.

 

[FinPanda]

Finland is one of those teams where no matter how bad they look on paper or in the group stage, I think they always have a chance in every knockout round game they play.

Yeah Finns play their best when it matters. that's why we have won so many gold medals lately.

Knight and Annunen are probably the 2 best goalies in tourney... shame they had to play each other in a quarter.

 

[Czechboy]

So impressed by the Finn's. I really felt the States needed to use their elite skill to get a lead and calmly build on it.

20 minutes with the Finns and a hot Anunen in net is a nightmare! Sisu and all.

 

[jj cale]

Knight and Annunen are probably the 2 best goalies in tourney... shame they had to play each other in a quarter.

On the other hand having them go at it head to head today gives us a game we might not have had otherwise.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Brave effort but no finish tonight... sadly missed opportunity

 

[Czechboy]

I agree with Button/Orlesky... this game will probably be decided by a delay of game penalty or a bad bounce. We're in shitshow territory now!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Who was the Finnish D that deciding jumping for that puck was a good idea?

 

[grieves]

That dude is tilting.

US were really getting the wind back on their sails, luckily that one was called.

 

[Czechboy]

Jesus what a save by Anunen... you could totally see the gap in the five hole there.

 

[jj cale]

Finland, good TEAM defense..........that's the way you do it.

Team Canada, watch the film.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Drury got a little heated when the refs actually call something on either team.
