Hey it's not over yet.

I know it's only 1 tournament but I gotta say there are some guys on US that I was pumped to finally see that have disappointed the hell outta me. I kept hearing how lethal and dangerous they are but they look like there is zero killer instinct to their game VS real good opposition

1 tourney means nothing in the long run but it has still left a sour taste in my mouth

 

[D0ctorCool]

Looks like we're in for an exciting finish! I expect the US will crank things up in the last couple mins.

don't blame the lines blame the players

They are getting outplayed and trying to do way to much by themselves

They are but when you have 1 skill guy per line and the other linemates can't match it it doesn't work

its 1-0 one goal game. The Finns have been the better team in the third but they’re not overall outplaying they USA. They need 4pps to score. This is a close game.


Sandeline is a hack.

Finland plays really mature.

Almost all of the finns play in the professional league

 

[grieves]

Really good outlet passes from Finland with US doing aggressive forecheck as they should. Cool game to watch.

I kinda hope it goes to OT (and then Finns win)

Hey it's not over yet.

Ha. funny. I thought that same thing when i wrote it

People keep talking about Sweden having amazing record in group stage. Wow.

I think playing like **** during group stage and then swiping out tournament favourites and robbing medals should get more credit.

Game is not over yet though, but still this just proves (again, remember 2018 or 14) that group stage doesn't tell you that much

To me... it's real simple and my second biggest gripe on the HFBoards (which I love)...

The Big 5 are all awesome
Any one of them win Gold
It is NOT an upset when one Big 5 nation beats another

The problem with hockey is the next 5.

1/4 PP is pretty good... 25%

 

[Zub]

This game isn't over yet guys hold your horses.

 

[DanM]

Finland will be screwed if they keep icing the puck.

USA only needs one shot

 

[SI90]

Oden on Finland looks like the guy who killed Patrick Swayze in Ghost.

 

[Pez68]

Finland appears to be a much more well coached squad.

 

[ZDH]

Caufield hot garbage out there.

 

[FinPanda]

I just found it funny that you predicted 6-1 US.. forgot you did it and then, immediately after you get a lead, you go on about no one believing in Finland! FTR.. I'm very happy for you right now.

Yeah lol, I post too much so sometimes I forgot what I said. The believing thing was mostly a pre tournament thing anyway. Not even Finns believed for Finland after we saw how this team played and how it was coached.

For sure.. this is far from over!

that is good. My point was it’s a close game. 5vs5 been mostly equal

 

[TheDoldrums]

every US player is trying to skate through the whole Finnish team

My fav was the fan that posted a U18 link because he couldn't watch the U20 team anymore.lol

3 minutes!

 

[SI90]

Where’s the USA forecheck. Wtf

 

[king89]

Ah final countdown now playing

 

[grieves]

They are turtling. **** me. We have a good chance to win still but ****.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I can't say I'm surprised that America's biggest problem is getting offensive. Those lines were terrible immediately and now look like a quick exit for the US

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Man the US just continually are taking turns going head first through 5 Finns with no support.
