GDT: Quarterfinal - May 23 - Finland vs Sweden

[mattihp]

There's too much finish in Elias

 

[Luolis]

Did you expect Finland will win?
With much worse luck this game would be 3-1 to Sweden.

To be fair, Sweden's 2nd goal was with a really lucky bounce

 

[Nithoniniel]

The shot technique on that kid....

 

[Lambo]

My prediction is right!

 

[ijuka]

What was it about Elias Pettersson's grand father being a Finnish orphan from Kainuu?

War orphan? My grandpa lost both his parents during a WW2 bombing when he was like 4, grew up in Denmark. Interesting, small world and all.

 

[mattihp]

While all of team Finland most likely have Swedish ancestors

Colonialistic bullhonky.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Pettersson. Just WOW! What a goal! That's filthy.

 

[aphyro]

Colonialistic bullhonky.

Nah i like my eastern brothers just in hockey we have a war

 

[Lambo]

Blame the unpatriotic Finish nhl stars

Yes right! But it s much wrong in finnish hockey!

 

[Matti_A]

It's about moral victories now for the Finns, keep the score respectable, allow less than five or keep the differential at 4 goals max.

 

[jj cale]

You must be new to Finnish sports mentality/history.

It must be a contradictory mentality then because I hear about "sisu" around here plenty.

Well, todays the day for a heaping dose of that, still the 2nd period with 17 minutes left, all is not lost.

 

[McClelland]

Classic Toronto. "How dare you perform when you're in an enviroment to perform?!"

Yeeah! Hes the scapegoat among a big chunk of fans and Toronto media! Tavares and MM did nothing in the playoffs, still Nylanders fault!

Nylander needs out from that org. he will not get the primetime he needs when he has so many in front of him(Babcock). Tml also needs a RhD and why driving a ferrari in the dirttrack when you can trade for a jeep!

EP40 WoW!

 

[aphyro]

Can't let EP get that much time or nasty stuff will happen

 

[EK47]

Can’t give Pettersson that amount of space.

 

[LiveeviL]

Stunning goal in a literal sense by EP40. The Finns tried to push up their game and was punished at once.

 

[ijuka]

Should have started Olkinuora, a god mode Olkinuora can at least steal a game, with Lankinen there never was any hope for that.

 

[FVM]

I'm cringing so hard I fear my face gets permanently twisted.

Beautiful goal by Petterson though.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The shot technique on that kid....

He could start a hockey school how to cup the puck when you shoot at 19 years old.

 

[zyklone]

That shot while on one skate while being pushed....

 

[BB88]

Must be fun playing against Finland knowing none of these guys minus Kakko will, or can do ....t

 

[king89]

First bad game by Finland against a top nation this WC. Why now

 

[aphyro]

Wouldent count Finland out... they allways fight like warriors when facing Sweden...

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Ok Lundqvist is washed up

 

[ijuka]

At least Lundqvist is allowing enough softies to keep Finland in the game.


edit: Okay I can't blame Lund for this deflection

 

[mattihp]

Beautiful goal. The pressure im the zone really started with... Kaski?!!
