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

[DaJackal]

That was maybe the 2nd slowest counter-attack I have ever seen.

Very happy for Aaltonen! I was certain he would shoot right at the logo, because the man has been questioned for ages when he will score. Much respect for going for the best option instead of personal glory! (Yes, I know it is very possible that he just wanted to pass the responsibility. But I want to think the best of him.)

 

[Plural]

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

Yeah, I hope it doesn't become a thing.

 

[Prins Filip]

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

Now they play like Russia. Pre-Znarok

 

[X66]

Where is Matthews when you need him?

 

[Bloomfield*]

USA is doing a sweden. Awesome group play but going out in playoffs lol

 

[FVM]

Our shameless super trapping is frustrating the Yankee boys. I'm entertained

 

[DoubleGold]

Has the Finnish coach has saved his job?

Eh, we will see. If he can adapt and start winning games more regularly, then yes.

 

[mjlee]

Just turned on the tv, Finland up 2-0 with ten minutes left in the third?!? What happened? I mean the US have been good in earlier games, unlike Finland. Well at least it means the Finnish coach will be safe for a time, good for Sweden

 

[Ezekial]

Sad display from USA today.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Finland is winning because they are playing their game.

US can't get shots off and lanes are clogged.

 

[Gsus]

Finland has to shoot there.

Filppula wouldn't shoot to save his life. He really doesn't shoot unless it's an empty net.

 

[21]

Swedish television announcer calling Gadreau one of the best in the world. He may be a huge talent but he is far from being one of the best yet and also need to get stronger.

We're von Trapps today, and the hills are alive with the sound of music.

Then you gotta take it to the net, step up their forecheck and win puck battles. Guys like Gaudreau who played in the playoffs should be used this.

 

[FinRanger]

1960 was last time USA won world championship or played in a whc final and somehow usually they are viewed as one of the favorites

Lol, most definitely not. He has regressed.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

This Finland team got blown out by France. USA has nobody to blame but themselves if they lose

Finland has played really well but the talent disparity has not been a factor at all, and it should've been

 

[Like Wall]

Now they play like Russia. Pre-Znarok

Russia was having problems with defense even with Znarok. This is the first year their defense has gotten much better.

 

[BB88]

USA looks like a regular season team, not a playoff team.

Can't be this lazy and hearltess to expect success.

Where do people get this lol?

 

[FVM]

Säteri playing so steady.

 

[DoubleGold]

Maybe Eichel will get Team USA's headcoach fired

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Maybe Eichel will get Team USA's headcoach fired

Pretty baseless comment
you mean coach AND GM

 

[21]

USA is doing a sweden. Awesome group play but going out in playoffs lol

Sweden has been pretty bad during group play this year?

 

[Lempo]

Yay final minutes Marjamaki close-ups.
