GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada • Part IV

[Inf4mous0ne]

Congrats to Finland, definitely deserved to win the game.

Worst effort and discipline that I've ever seen from a Canadian team. Shameful...

 

[McYoungGuns]

cry some more Jake, u cost us and u should be ashamed

 

[canwincup]

Virtanen was so dumb this game I just don't get it...disappointing as a Canucks fan

 

[gdsmack267]

Canadas undisciplined play killed them all tourney long.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Finland is a terrific Team. Unlike the usual Finn Teams, which rely on incredible goaltending, this Finn Team is fantastic offensively.

Canada just never had it all tourney. They played undisciplined hockey and the results are largely the coach's fault imo.

 

[scotian1]

Canada should look in the mirror and see that they have seen the enemy and it is us.

 

[Nurmagomedov]

Great game.

 

[Keeptdos]

Might wanna spell Canadians right before mocking their intelligence

I've seen quite many 'Fins' also.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Despite the penalty Marner was still Canada's best player. Virtanen is just awful, shouldn't have played at all this tourney. Lowry sucks

 

[Canadian Finn]

Finland did not win because of penalties.

Finland did not win because of Canada bad goal tending.

Finland did not win because of Canada bad coaching.

Finland won because they were a better team.

Please Canadians, lets be classy!!!!

and remember, they are all Kids out there!

 

[Striiker]

The reason Canada lost couldnt be more predictable. Lowry and his obsession with players who have no business being on the ice.

 

[ponder]

Great game by two very evenly matched teams. Lack of discipline really cost Canada here, especially Virtanen, who was beyond awful. Oh well, will be cheering for the Fins (and Swedes) from here on out, very good team and I really like how they play.

 

[carlweezer*]

Better team won !!

Virtanen and Marner with bonehead desicions and costs us the game !!

 

[gwh]

Watching NHL will be boring after this.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Canada had so many problems that it's not even surprising, though. If Kahkonen started, it's probably 6-2 or 6-3.

 

[Mitchy]

Of course the usual suspects saying Marner cost Canada game, when he's the reason we were even in it.

 

[BanditKeith99]

Thanks blackwood

 

[BobDobolina]

What a ****ing game!

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Lowry shouldn't be anywhere near Hockey Canada next season.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Now what does the Montreal NHL team have to do with this?

I think he meant "Canadians " not the Montreal Canadiens

 

[WayneSid9987]

Terrible coaching.
Bad goaltending.
Lowry's faves who got all the ice time weren't the best players on the team.

Congrats to Finland.
Helluva 1st line.

 

[agent082]

Especially thanks Laine, Aho, Juolevi and Kahkonen

 

[pigpen65]

Very weak Canadian team. Low skill, no leadership, soft.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Could this mean no more Vehviläinen? Canada scores the usual several goals, but for once Finland has the firepower to answer it.

 

[Cirris]

I feel sorry for Canada right now.

I don't. I saw some #$%hole Canadian fan behind the one bench tearing up a Finland flag paper earlier. It pissed me off.
