IIHF bitter and try to get Finland to win Canada

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Kontiola didn't need to do that LOL

 

[jj cale]

There goes the Finn powerplay, kontiola commits the crime.

more open ice with the 4 on 4

Like different team so far. Not passive and slow in their own end, instead playing active and getting puck quickly to the forwards.

It'll be all about execution. In the offensive zone there won't be as much space and time as against European teams. Need to be fast, straightforward and accurate there too. No time to dangle, skate circles and ponder.

 

[ZEBROA]

It looks like Sweden are loosing to Germany.

I haven't watched much of the Olympics, really impressed with the pace of this game. I feel the almost no TV commercials makes the game so much better to watch. I wish the NHL games went at this speed. Nothing worse then a big game, broke up by 50 commercials.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Who was that drop passing idiot?

Does Tommy Salo play?

 

[W75]

Good period.

 

[jj cale]

Happy to get out of that period 0-0, that was not a good period by Canada and if they do not get their game together better then that they are done like dinner.

Finland played well, skating and passing the puck well and working as a unit in transition. They did not have many scoring opportunities to show for it but they controlled puck possession by a large margin.

Totally, commercials can kill the pace

Bahahhaha, you don’t even need to hear the music in the arena when you see Canadian fans doing the Gagnam style horse dance.

 

[jj cale]

O.K boys, need to turn things around here, hound that puck, support each other, keep things simple and get that play going the other way.

 

[Del Preston]

Finland's #12 has got to be at least eight feet tall.

 

[agent082]

Finland passive again

 

[tony d]

Time to play some better hockey. Play as a team more, we can still win but it's going to take more of a team effort.

 

[jj cale]

Oh wow............finland gets saved by Kontiola.

 

[jj cale]

Way better start for Canada here, keep it going guys.

 

[FinPanda]

Wow we are playing bad now.

 

[W75]

Canada's bulldozing us..

 

[Patrik Barkov]

That looked bad

 

[Gsus]

Scrivens took a big one.

 

[FinPanda]

Nice hit.

 

[NyQuil]

You know Scrivens is going to make that save after passing it to the opposition.
