GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada

[Canadian Finn]

I hope the Finns are healthy now and recovered from the flu and hopefully an interesting game with the better end for the finns.

Has the Finnish team talked about their flu issue?

 

[Lehner]

People keep talking about Virtanen but Perlini has been equally worthless.

One is an NHL'er tho..

Perlini is brutal tho

 

[dubey]

Major key stay out of the penalty box

 

[xxxx]

Go CANADA!!!!! Roll over them

 

[Saekki*]

Has the Finnish team talked about their flu issue?

6-7 guys had some stomach problems, all good now, according to the team doctor.

 

[MMANumminen]

Like they would leak out any sort of injuries...

 

[Juzmo]

Major key stay out of the penalty box

Yeah if I had to predict I'd say the team that gets more penalties will lose this one.

 

[FinPanda]

I am really scared.

 

[docbenton]

I imagine Virtanen turns it on this game. He clearly has been playing real lazy hockey up to this point. He doesn't need high hockey sense, he just needs to play hard and he'll be a top forward.

 

[snipes]

Go Canada Go!

Game time, got chills right now. Fire it up boys

 

[Juzmo]

Important to not have any leaks.

Canada PP isn't very good, I don't think Finland will worry about penalties like Canada has too.

 

[Canuckistani]

I am really scared.

Why? You're playing the weakest Canadian team in almost two decades.

 

[Alexandrov]

Have a bad feeling about this, though it could be the lingering hangover.

I think it's just as likely that Puljujarvi shreds him for a couple goals.

 

[Alerion]

Hopefully Lowry is matching the Stephens line against the Finnish top line.

 

[Juzmo]

Canada PP isn't very good, I don't think Finland will worry about penalties like Canada has too.

Agreed, but the Finnish PK+defence+goaltending combo has been bad against other pretty weak teams before in this tournament so I'll be very afraid when the team has to spend time in the defending zone.

 

[spacemunky]

I am really scared.

Unless we suddenly play the game of our lives, you're fine. Even if we did do that, it'd just mean the score will be close.

 

[Blender]

Hopefully Lowry is matching the Stephens line against the Finnish top line.

Nope, Crouse-Strome-Virtanen.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good luck Finland - hope for a great game

 

[MarVell]

Canada wins 5-2

 

[JJTT]

Nope, Crouse-Strome-Virtanen.

Did he say this?

 

[Finnswiss]

Btw, is there any live stream to watch in Europe or may be from Finland for people outside of Finland?

 

[LeafsMonster]

Strome should be fired up after his comments. I hope we see a better canada team than we have so far.
