GDT: Quarterfinal - May 23 - Finland vs Sweden

[Nithoniniel]

Would be cool if we didn't use our best line like our third line. Not sure they'll reach even 15 minutes.

 

[aphyro]

Finns have more shots on the goal than Swedes. How is the game running, are the Finns nearer to take the lead or the Swedes?

Finland dominant right now.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

When you cant see the shot its kinda hard to make a save… The goals are on the defence not clearing the crease. Any goalie can let in a puck they dont see.

Any good goalie doesn't completely slide off the goalmouth just because he saw the puck go a certain way before deflecting

 

[VictorLustig]

Nylander line barely on the ice this period. What the freaking hell.

Meanwhile Eriksson is getting crazy minutes.

 

[EK47]

Loui Eriksson had more ice time than Elias Pettersson in the first period. GET REAL GRÖNBORG!

 

[Snuuzi]

Sweden playing dump and chase hockey like its the NHL. Doesnt work, this is big ice.

Why play EP when you can play Eriksson?

 

[svartgul]

Never seen Finland with such flow before. Team game defined.

 

[Spender]

Grönborg is a genious!

gud Canadian pro Loui, he's earned it because of experience

Watch the replay again then

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Seeing How a Liiga team is dominating NHL team, this means Liiga—> NHL right? Therefore NHLe of Kakko vs Hughes is like 50*more points for Kakko right?

 

[Chimpradamus]

Loui is such an awful player. Just no urgency at all. He's finally showed his true colours at this tournament.

Yup, I can only agree. He's done. Not even in this enviroment can he show any urgency or skill above being somewhat mediocre in front of the net. He can score in the open net on a rebound, that's his skill. Not good enough. He's so slow, he has no intensity, he can't pass, he can't shoot and he is good on the PK.

Holy crap is he bad for his contract, that's an albatross.

 

[EK47]

No idea why?

Blaming the coach is easy.

Blaming players who have proved elsewhere under several other coaches and done so succesfully for several years is even easier.

Kakko's NHLe was already higher, though?

They are the one on ice playing the game... what do you want from Grönborg show them how to work in defence?

It's so sad too. He's a skilled guy, he was doing okay at the beginning of the tournament. But now hes playing like he was on the Canucks. Just doesn't give a single f*** about his team. Lazy player with the worst work ethic.

FINALLY Nylander is on the ice, god damn.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

Nicely wonderful gaming here from our Finnish Lions. Greatly to see.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It feels like Nylander and Pettersson aren't playing enough

 

[Garl]

It doesn't work like that. Coach is responcible for the system. Players are playing in the system. A bad coach can definately ruin a good team, look at Blues.

I am not saying Gronborg is bad btw, but this year, smth is definately lacking. In 2018 team played much better defence.

 

[EK47]

I want him to implement a system which might actually allows them to succeed. Because the main problem with it is disorganization.

 

[FinPanda]

I am so proud of this team already. They have done so much more than anyone expected from them.

 

[Stubu]

And now Sweden dominant

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

That was a goal lol
