GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada

[LemurFromTheId]

Why are all the Finns blaming Vehviläinen when it was Puljujärvi who shoved his stick between the puck and the glove?

 

[Lime]

Yes!

EH OH CANADA GO!!

C EH N EH D EH GO CANADA GO woooo

 

[Minttu]

That one was on Veini. But still we lose every battle in front of our goal.

 

[Davebo*]

Is there some sort of Finnish holiday tradition that I'm not aware of, going on? "The Giving of Pucks" or some such?

 

[Lehner]

That strome goal was a crease violation, no?

You can go into the crease when the puck is there.

 

[SprDaVE]

That strome goal was a crease violation, no?

Puck was in the crease first.

 

[FinPanda]

We have no goalie and no defense. This was expected. Congrats Canada.

 

[fahad203]

That strome goal was a crease violation, no?

I think you are allowed to chase the puck once it's in the crease. You can't be in it without the puck

 

[WayneSid9987]

Now watch me whip.
Now watch me Laine.

 

[BB88]

Finland folding under pressure

This is nothing new, we knew after the 1st 2 games that this defense+ goalie will kill us.

 

[86Habs]

Has konecny's line had a shift since their goal?

Not as ES, no.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Marner looks way to weak out there. If you give him space he's deadly but I'm watching him and he shy's away from contact or physical battles for the pucks and just pokes at it.

Gauthier is looking like he will be a great pick.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That strome goal was a crease violation, no?

If the puck is already in the crease you can go in.

 

[Scrobble]

Usually goaltending is a major strength for Finland but this year Finland has the worst goalie in the tournament.

 

[jaloviina]

We do not have a goalie....

Game over for us

just wait that the kids line wakes up

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Has konecny's line had a shift since their goal?

on the PK

 

[mantis toboggan]

**** you nhl network. Showing awards for the 5-0 Sweden snoozfest instead of Canada game. What a ****ing joke

Edit: Now showing recap of Russia game woooooooow

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

Canada hasn't been good at all but poor goaltending has caused finland 2-0 loss. Finnish boys are so nervous.

our goaltending and D has been bad through whole tournament. no surprises here

 

[BigD66]

That strome goal was a crease violation, no?

Puck was in the crease before Strome

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Here come the excuses

Only excuse here is you

 

[KurtSloan]

If this was any game in the NHL, that ref would have whisteled, play would have stopped but Strome would have gotten it in. The momentum would have changed and Finland would have won.

GIVE THAT REF A COOKIE

But here wasn't any reason why refs should whistled..

 

[vaiski]

...Vehviläinen

I'm terrified every time Canada has the puck. Apparently defense is worse than ever, I only trust Juolevi.

 

[Jedda]

Can't blame the Finnish goalie, not his fault.

Agree. Would have covered it easily if Puljujärvi didn't go in there and mess things up.

 

[King 88]

Oh nvm pulju ****ed up that goal.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Konecny rocks that guy
