GDT: Quarterfinal - May 18 - USA (0) vs Finland (2)

[BB88]

Hayes beasting

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Win the right games?

 

[Prins Filip]

Nice defensive stickwork by Pulju there, might have saved a goal.

 

[DoubleGold]

Pulju-Beast will make it 3-0.

 

[Atomos2]

Pure stupid penalty by Hayes. I'd bench him for the rest of the game.

 

[ijuka]

Kevin Hayes is Finland's MVP.

 

[Plural]

he has a questionable drive

I'm not really buying that yet, he's a young kid so I'll give him some leeway. But that's a narrative that's been surfacing a while. I hope it ends up not being true.

 

[rickardr]

Hayes.. What a dumb f****

 

[Xokkeu]

Well I hope Finland wins the tournament at this point.

 

[FVM]

Haha Hayes is heating up! What a salty *****.

Ok guys, time to put the nail in the coffin. Punch it deep.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

pretty pointless and bad commentary. I don't care about his house

 

[QnebO]

Bout a time to start call slashes. Usually these refs dont call anything on those. Hayes counted on that i guess

 

[Chimpradamus]

Look, Hayes is playing like his old Rangers self again. Especially in the playoffs, he looked like this for two series straight.

He really, needs a rebound year.

 

[BWDude]

Yeah, he was way better during the season. Don't know what is up with him.

Could it be that guys like Gaudreau and Eichel operate better on the small ice?

 

[Zybalto]

Finland has to shoot there.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Americans acting so unprofessional. Wtf was that slash?

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

What a dumb slash by Hayes. Not the time doofus.

 

[XO]

Bye USA.

Expected win for Finland.

 

[Like Wall]

Once something is not going American way, they lose motivation. What happened to the team that beat Russia?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm not really buying that yet, he's a young kid so I'll give him some leeway. But that's a narrative that's been surfacing a while. I hope it ends up not being true.

For sure, he's way way way too skilled to write him off or anything. It's still a problem but I hope he shakes it

 

[skillhockey]

Win the right games?

Yeah here in Finland they used to say Canada plays like this. Why not us too, lol.

 

[Plural]

Could it be that guys like Gaudreau and Eichel operate better on the small ice?

Of course it matters but not to this point. We've seen small ice guys dominating international games too. Eichel is better than this.

 

[FinRanger]

Is it coming kind of our thing? To suck in the preliminary round and just surprise everyone after that?

Yeah those games are pretty much meaningless. Just get yourself to quarter and then give it your all and defence well. USA plays always like this. No emotion. Tries to play tic-tac-toe.

 

[Zybalto]

Has the Finnish coach has saved his job?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

bad turnover by Gaudreau
