Slapper haters, most of our players dont have weapon at all. Do you take **** snapper and great slapper or **** snapper, **** slapper, **** wrister?

Having bad slapshot doesnt make you succesfull player.
 
Never underestimate the power of a great slapper. It's not the most important skill but it can possibly be the decider in tight games.

Finland plays like they usually do. Very tight, and quick on the feet.

No excuse for a team that was 1st in its own group after round 1. Also, USA beat Russia. Finns have always been good, but it looked like USA was much better this year. Underestimated Finns?
 
Seemed as if Trouba was already on the way down. All 4 penalties have been odd

Not having a good slap shot is important :sarcasm: Luckily our D slapshots suck outside Honka. :sarcasm:

They did play badly earlier. Either they didn't care or they found their stride or it was just tactic (iI can't imagine that)
 
Maybe this starts with guys like Eichel& Gaudreau, they should be by miles better than any of our Finnish players but you couldn't really tell they were playing.
That doesn't send a good message to the team.
 
Think plays like Pihlstrom's should be a retrograde one game suspension. Matt Cooke and others used to do that **** all the time
 
Finland is playing their best game so far in this tournament and USA are playing their worst game.

Both Eichel&Gaudreau look like AHL-players.

We would need another plane to bring back Marjamaki's [MOD] to home if the latter was the case.

Holy crap is USA playing bad hockey, while Finland is playing boring hockey.

US team getting axed by the Swedish commentators. No movement by players without the puck, no skating, no energy, no nothing. Everything happens in slow motion. "Not even Italy plays such bad defense!" (Swedish commentator regarding the Finnish PP goal).

Finland scoring first is a killer for a hockey game nowadays, with such an extreme trap it's almost embarassing.
 
Eichel's problem at this stage in his career is that he's too much of a perimeter player IMHO. He doesn't have the hockey IQ (YET, [MOD]) to dominate in the dirty areas.
