GDT: Quarter Finals: Finland vs Slovakia; Jan. 2, 2025; 17:00 EST

[Svedu]

Slovakia pressuring Finns hard now.

 

[king89]

Heads up everybody........................Finlands coming on

Beating the U.S has done wonders for that team.

I have to say I did not see this coming big ups to the boys

 

[FinPanda]

1st goal Strbak giveaway
2nd goal Strbak not covering his side as far as I noticed

Sounds like he is a bit of a problem

 

[Faterson]

The team that will kill Slovakia tonight and bring us one step closer to the promised land

Maalilla

Varalla

hyökkääjä

Have Maalilla, Varalla and Hyökkääjä all been drafted? They seem somehow unfamiliar.

You can't help but be pleased. They got a shot now at least.

 

[Nate070]

Yeh, it's done. Our only chance was a hot goalie

It's not over yet. One goal for Slovakia and it's game again

 

[Svedu]

It's not over yet. One goal for Slovakia and it's game again

First line with Pekarcik and Dvorsky creates something every single time they are on ice. They look better than their opponents in every shift.

Look, Pekarcik fixed the PP for them.

 

[Faterson]

I will say it out loud. Can we bench Strbak?

Can they undraft him?

 

[tobu]

Sounds like he is a bit of a problem

He has been a liability all tournament.

 

[Svedu]

Stupid penalty... Typical Finnish and of course Halttunen or say Hemming... V*ttu.

 

[gritdash60]

Am i the only who notices Finnish D #2 Jokinen has a interesting skating style without the puck, dudes arms move like all over the place. Not hating, he's been good but just looks funny sometimes.

 

[tobu]

Dvorsky could have had a hatrick already.

 

[gritdash60]

Haha RImpinen might actually go first round as an overager

 

[king89]

Rimpinen is just so good

 

[Svedu]

Rimpinen! Saving our asses now.

Nieminen! Please! Get the puck out and not some half assed attempt like before. Has been weak the whole tournament. Soini much better. Kangas more secure as well.

 

[vlady]

After announcing "extreme" changes to the lineup Fenes decides to keep Strbak on PP1

Yeah unbelieveable. Strbak on PP1 or on this team this tournament is an instant -2 goals. I don't know what happened with him. He was solid last year.

 

[FinPanda]

Rimpinen might be our highest pick 2025 lmao

 

[Shocker]

Well, there were couple great looks for the Slovaks

Shame for them that Rimpinen continues to be OP

 

[Svedu]

Finnish PP is so bad.

Day and night compared to Slovakias.

 

[Saablic]

2 goals from 3 shots? Insane. One goal and Slovakia is back.

 

[Svedu]

YEEEEEES!

 

[gritdash60]

2 goals from 3 shots? Insane. One goal and Slovakia is back.

That aged very well

 

[tobu]

Lendak all over the plce in chaos. Yeah it's over. We have a good 1st line with Dvorsky, but bad D and no hot goalie.

 

[FinPanda]

We are scoring beautiful goals, what is this?
