GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada • Part IV

[SladeWilson23]

Are you sad that he's played terrible or feeling sorry for him?

Both.

 

[gqmixmaster]

Dylan Strome, Jake Virtanen are absolute embarrassments.

 

[40oz]

Congrats to Finland.

How could you not love that team?



And Saku!

 

[francis246]

Marner did cost us that last PP, but don't kid ourselfs he really stepped up. Virtanen single handily cost us this game and it's not even close.

 

[Curufinwe]

Lowry and Hicketts must be the worst coach-#1D combo in recent Canadian history.

 

[Unbiased]

Hahaha stupid penalties by Virtnanen and then Marner being selfish with a stupid penalty at the end .....

Yeah lets forget he was the only reason they were even in the game

 

[MPStoEberletoHall*]

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

Except he was almost irrelevant all tournament

 

[ASmileyFace]

Unreal game from a neutral standpoint.

No kidding. That was an unreal amount of fun.

Love watching Canada lose though.

 

[1990*]

Wonderful game from the Finns. They deserve it.

Hockey Canada now has a lot of thinking to do. Ryan Jankowski can't remain in his role as Head Scout after this sort of a disaster, and I doubt Lowry ever comes near the national team again. Just too many passengers and too many ill-fitting selections for a tournament like this.

 

[stewpac]

This thread is hilarious, anyone above the age of 15? Marner did everything he could to win. I think he was on for one goal against all tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

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

Finland changed their goalie and Canada didn't.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Great game!

Blackwood must be Swiss, and several canadian players lost their head the last 5 minutes. Congrats Finland!

 

[SEALBound]

Virtanen and Marner pissed this away for Canada. They should get quite the reaming from their coach and their linemates.

 

[stavs*]

Way to go Virtanen, Blackwood and Marner.

Yeah MM scored two huge goals and then threw it away at the end. His goals were nice but all for not after a moronic penalty.

Canada wouldn't be in this game without his 2 goals. just sayin'

I'm not sticking up for him, but you look like a moron making comments like that

 

[MR4]

Fins is going to destroy everyone. They can score enough to win.

they have 1 line, and this was a pretty weak Canada team considering talent and coaching of what talent we did have.

Marner deserves the MVP!

 

[karnige]

Congrats Finland.

Canada wants to play undisciplined BS hockey then that's the result.

Losers.

This isn't the AHL where you can get away with that crap. International doesn't tolerate this. Team Canada with the IQ of chimps this tourny

 

[hototogisu]

Strome's horrible pass and then the ****ing dump and chase when Point is open to try and set up again. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Yeah two bad plays by Strome there.

 

[ponder]

Especially thanks Laine, Aho, Juolevi and Kahkonen

Don't forget Finnish MVP Jake Virtanen.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Thank you Jake Virtanen for negating a Power Play for us and costing us the game. That's what it came down to.

Yeah must suck that he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head to see the refs hand raised. How dare he?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Wow Koivu hasn't aged a day.

What's in the water in Finland?

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Marner player of the game - yet he cost us the tournament?

 

[jdatb]

Blackwood cost us the game. But Virtanen was a close second

 

[FinPanda]

Semifinal!

 

[carlweezer*]

That was an exiting game!

Great draft this year.

The NHL game will be different for guys like Crouse Virtanen Perlini

 

[Steamwhistle]

They should give Virtanen the best Finnish player award.

I second this motion.
