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

Good guys win.


Congrats Finland! Well deserved

You guys have the strangest rivalry

Not a bad thing, I just find it confusing.

Congrats to Finland, USA was bad.

The play at the end wasn't really dirty at all. The Fin laid on the ice like he was shot even though he literally barely got touched. Then Heinola tried to come in and save the day, and that's what started the scrum. I hate when guys lay on the ice for 3 minutes and then just get up and everything is fine, so so soft.

Keep it classy New York

 

[karhukissa]

Annunen is basically playing like a borderline generational goalie right now. It pains me to say it as a swede, but he might win them gold on his own.

Thanks AB, it means a lot coming from you.

 

[FinPanda]

Now we can say that Finland has the number of US. Nemesis!

And next team we play against is most likely Canada. We have them too..

Lmao. One of the worst takes i've seen in a while.

An elbow to the head isn't dirty. Ok.

Finland has a lot of numbers these days.

 

[Ulysses31]

Sad to see USA down. sweet squad on paper.

 

[paragon]

No need to call out the whole team just because of one player. Well played USA.

 

[SOLR]

That U18 team from last year is sooooooooooo overrated.

All those top 15 picks after Hughes (including him...) are way overrated, it will look like a list of bust soon enough.

 

[dombrova22]

Never gets old seeing the USA lose. I'll sleep like a baby tonight.

 

[swoopster]

Congrats Finn's...we are a total em·bar·rass·ment!!! Nice job USA hockey and your bullcrap elitism. Proud of them you are.

 

[Atoyot]

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

I honestly can't think of much of a worse comparison.

 

[GKJ]

Don't have to hear from Dave Starman again until December 26.

 

[Master P]

Pinto and Wahlstrom, few mental midgets decided to show up to the game when there's 2 seconds left on the clock.

They're kids dude

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

This Team USA was just not very likeable. They had no real leadership and it showed. Samuelsson is the Andy Greene of captains. Very disappointed with all the forwards outside of Zegras. Oh well get em next year.

One last point.. it’s funny no one complains about how Finland plays international hockey, they even get praised for it. My NJD in their championship days perfected this style and were accused of ruining the league and boring play.

We Finns will continue being underrated by the US. I saw a pregame interview of their coach and he admitted to not knowing who Annunen is. He could be argued to be the best young goalie coming into the tournament by stats and body of work so far into the season, and the head coach doesn't even know him.

Hah, it's mostly one sided

Us Swedes for the most part dont really hate on Finland, I always root for them against everyone outside of Sweden ofc and I'm super weak for Switzerland as well.. but after that. Always Finland =)

 

[agent082]

USA hit the crossbar and finnish Oden just under it. That was basically it.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Finland = defensive warfare

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

At least Roberston is gonna be a stud

He was 1 of the few players on USA that I thought had a really good tourney

 

[SI90]

At least Roberston is gonna be a stud

he looked horrible this game. Made a few boneheaded mistakes. Especially late when he glided towards the puck thinking it was an icing with an empty net on the PP.

that being said, overall I think he looked good for the tournament.

What the hell are you on about?

 

[clydesdale line]

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

DeBrincat struggled in WJC too FYI. Not the end of the world.
