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

[DoubleGold]

Lets do this!

 

[Gsus]

He stuck his stick in under his skate as he was going towards the boards. Pfffft

Yes he did, but you know he probably didn't mean to do that. The guy had 12PIM this year so probably not the dirtiest player.

 

[QnebO]

Invisible.

He major mistakes but has shown nothing offensively.

Vid of one mistake tonight?

Solid, couple of shots, good speed, not much else.

 

[BB88]

Aho has no business being this good. How is he so good?

I hope he ends up as the #1C for Carolina.

 

[Xokkeu]

If you read the Bjugstad interview a Finnish newspaper did(Which you likely didn't as it was in Finnish), it seemed to me like they were only thinking about semis and finals. They didn't even consider Finland a legitimate threat.

I'd have to imagine that this was a mistranslation or something. Really doubt US players would be looking past Finland.

Not true. I remember two scoring chances and no big mistakes. Or little ones for that matter.

He = No

Edited it in 10 secs but you were faster

Yeah had one scoring chance at pp but shot to logo. Can't remember that other chance.

Still shocked he went 2nd round

 

[Xokkeu]

I remember them being in relegation games even. That they are this good at the WC is pretty recent.

Off the top of my head I don't remember it but our combined ranking was bad enough at one point we were at risk of having to play a qualifying round to get in the Olympics

 

[Xokkeu]

Yes he did, but you know he probably didn't mean to do that. The guy had 12PIM this year so probably not the dirtiest player.

I don't think Pihlstrom is a bad player, just I hate seeing those plays and so many guys do it unintentionally intentionally.

 

[ijuka]

Wow is that a dumb penalty to take. Finland says thank you.

Not a great night for Hayes.

 

[GPF]

haha when it rains it pours ****** IIHF penalty rules

 

[Ezekial]

Helmet rule is so stupid, but so is Hayes.

 

[Eisen]

2010

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Still shocked he went 2nd round

Leafs almost picked him, what a group of rookie forwards that would've been.

 

[Narow]

Is it pp for finland?????

What the hell

 

[FVM]

We need more intensity. Go for that second goal. We're on a powerplay, for ****'s sake.

 

[ijuka]

haha when it rains it pours ****** IIHF penalty rules

The players should understand the differences between the rules. I'd say that the coaching staff is supposed to make them perfectly clear.

 

[BB88]

Still shocked he went 2nd round

It would be a crime for Carolina to break up that top4.

Aho could be brilliant in his prime.

 

[MMANumminen]

Dancing guy in the stands!

 

[QnebO]

Helmet rule is so stupid, but so is Hayes.

Lol

 

[BB88]

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Aho would be .........ng insane.

The IQ, speed& skill.

 

[QnebO]

Is the ice too soft? Even fastest players seem slower on full stride

 

[Narow]

Leafs almost picked him, what a group of rookie forwards that would've been.

Marner-matthews-jvr
Aho-nylander-kapanen
Hyman-kadri-komarov

Holy ****

 

[HaNotsri]

Russia should avoid Finland

I've heard that they are planning to insert a new country inbetween themselves and Finland. Liwonia rise again!

I'd like Eichel to have a great game. He needs a little boost before the next season.
