GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada • Part IV

[Ziggy Stardust]

Surprised Virtanen isn't the player of the game, nay, tournament.

 

[SI90]

Canadian fans are the best!!! Lol. " Virtenen cost us the game" "dumb penalties cost us" " blahh blahh"

You guys can't dominate every year. This year USA Sweden and Finland are just better. That's it. You guys will probably win gold next year. Relax.

 

[NyQuil]

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

That was one of the all-time stupid punches to the face with no time left and down a goal.

He was great throughout the period.

That was not a very smart decision.

 

[chaosrevolver]

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

I acknowledged that...and then he threw it away.

Look, no doubt he made two huge plays to keep them in it..but then he pretty much dashed that chance so..

 

[Nexus]

What a game.

 

[sansabri]

Saku <3

 

[bob27]

Damn Laine is huge.

 

[Telecaster]

What a game, congratulations Finland.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Lol Koivu looks like a kid next to Laine.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hicketts?

I don't know about that

 

[Rayban*]

Well im on the Finnland bandwagon now would be nice to see them win at home.

 

[ecemleafs]

shame the nhlnetwork didnt at least show americans the first 2.5 periods before the usa game.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Except he was almost irrelevant all tournament

He showed up when it mattered most.

 

[The Legend]

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.

The only mistake Marner made was not throwing his head back after getting pushed in the face twice before.

Finland was the better team. But some of their fans on here couldn't have been more ridiculous complaining about the refs. You know who you are.

 

[kingbrath]

This team Canada was just not good. Bad coaching, bad goaltending and no discipline. A shame really.

 

[Shrimper]

What the **** was Strome doing at the end?

 

[JoeyBeans]

See you all in May.

 

[dubey]

Marner almost won the game by himself

Too bad he had to carry the rest of those slugs

 

[Menzinger]

Canada/the media really needs to stop taking this tournament so seriously.

It's some of the most exciting hockey of the year - it should be a fun tournament that showcases the best youth of every nation - not a "do or die" situation.

 

[sipowicz]

Strome and Virtanen are awful.
Where are the skilled guys?

Canada being passed by in forwards now, already passed by in D men and goaltending ages ago!

Canada coaching pretty bad as well.

 

[workedforme]

All I can say is as an oiler fan I'm glad virtanan is a Canuck.

 

[4thlineduster]

Hicketts? Wtf?

Strome...makes sense

Barzal? Wtf?

 

[leaflover]

Canada got exactly the result they deserved. Weak goaltending and an incredible, even shameful lack of discipline equals losses. No exception today.

Congrats to Finland, played hard and weren't scared to swap goaltenders.
Best of luck the rest of the way Finland.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Really? That's the three? lol.

 

[ashs]

Did barzal even play today lol
