GDT: Quarter Final: Finland Vs United States | 11:30AM EST 5:30PM CET | FIN 1 - 0 USA

[Kyndig]

Why put team in quotes? USA had the better roster, Finland had the better team.

Because the US wasn't a team, just a bunch of individuals.

 

[greatwhitenorth]

Is there anything more Finnish than a 1-0 upset? Great work by the Finns, they earned that victory.

 

[Auston Marlander]

One player isn't representative of an entire country. That's really petty.

Where did I say anything about the country? It also wasn't 1 player, several of the US players took cheap and dirty shots this game.

 

[grieves]

First period even, second went to US, third went to Finland quite clearly.

Right team won.

Young men full of adrenaline tilting, what else is knew.

Good game.

 

[Vikke]

What did Pinto do? I missed that. Saw Wahlstrom's elbow. I guess he felt like he should do something in the tournament

First he tried to fight and act tough and should've been in the box the final three seconds, after Wahlström's elbow.
Then at the faceoff, when Finland had won, he hacked and slashed at the Finn.

 

[Kelly]

Dirty play by Wahlstrom, just a bad look on him.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Welp good on finland

Way to many disappointing players on USA this year. I can name about 4 or 5 that I thought had good tournys.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Finland played a great team game. Not enough emotion from the US the entire 3rd period. Well until it was way too late anyway

 

[Ginger Papa]

Oh God I saw the emote at the last second and was about to blast you for no reason

 

[TopG]

RIP USA

 

[Prntscrn]

I was actually thinking just that.

Yeah it was frustrating to see even as a Swede But alteast they won't have to stick wint Sandelin for 5 years or however long it was with Grönborg

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Why didn´t they count the 2-0 goal?

 

[FreeMcdavid]

Embarrassing display of hockey and class by USA. yikes man

 

[Pez68]

Terrible coaching. The USA team had no plan. Just dangle everyone and play as a bunch of individuals. Selfish hockey. Coaching staff should be jettisoned.

 

[Dominance]

Wow. Huge underdog win, colour me shocked. They really carried play 5 on 5 for long stretches, too, not just luck.

 

[McDrai]

Cole Caufield is so overrated. Happy to see him lose as well!

He reminds me of Rob Schremp. Hopefully he carves out a better career than the former

 

[Zub]

I thought USA played better, even before the Fins went up 1-0

but the Fins still deserved this win. Great goaltender. Bet on the fins because of the odds (disrespected) and large ice surface.

USA did play better, the 2nd period that is.

 

[Blender]

USA team really disgraced themselves at the end of this one. Get dirty and try to hurt people because they lost.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Where did I say anything about the country? It also wasn't 1 player, several of the US players took cheap and dirty shots this game.

Oh sorry, my math was off. 2.

 

[Puckstop40]

That was one of the worst performances I have seen from our team at the WJC. Even in the final minutes there was barely any desperation. Zero pride, all individuality from what I have seen this tournament.

 

[FinPanda]

I am proud of these guys. Very well done.

Good to avoid Russia

 

[Auston Marlander]

No, but saying “ Typical Americans” and generalizing an entire nation is ignorant. It’s the pot calling the kettle black. Everyone has there stupid moments is the point.

what Wahlstrom did was dirty and unacceptable. And I’m an islanders fan and one of Wally’s biggest supporters.

If anyone is generalizing the country based of what 23 kids did they are out to lunch. That said, this team was dirty and very sore losers.

 

[ZDH]

excited to hear more about how good Caufield is from habs fans...

 

[DuklaNation]

I think U.S. team suffered from a lack of offense from the dmen.

 

[blindpass]

I'm worried Nick Robertson's development has been stunted by not having been the hero in a comeback today.
