GDT: Quarterfinals - May 19 - Finland (5) vs Denmark (1)

[FiLe]

Like you say this is a must win game.

Yet, if you can't trust Finland to beat Denmark even with this lineup, we have no business in the semis.

 

[FiLe]

Haha, Finnish commentator stating that "if Finland wins this game, then the next thing is the semi vs. Russia". No conditionals.

I feel almost sorry for Germany.

Not exactly where Barkov plays of course, but with minor adjustments things would certainly look far more promising than with Pyörälä there.

Jokinen cant play that slot, Laine should not play that slot. Only the physical/shot slots are left. Rantanen would be weak unless you think he should replace Jokinen.

Ahem. Two words: "Minor adjustments".

Dahm has superb numbers.

Denmarks 1st line is dangerous as hell.

They would need an entirely new PP strategy. Not worth it when Pyörälä is a decent fit for the Barkov slot.

Ok, things looking good so far. Laine really wants that goal.

I really like Rantanen. His work ethic is off the charts.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I guess Lajunen could play as a defender in the semis if we have only 6 dmen.

I started to think the same, but still there has to be better choices than these, and as you know this has been happening throughout this tourney.

 

[Urbanskog]

Even if Denmark loses this one, it will be their best finish in history.

 

[Plural]

We need more net-precence.

Wow. Ehlers is amazing.

 

[Plural]

Koivu...

 

[saintflannel]

I'll score that Ehlers dive an 8.0.

 

[Lempo]

Koivu the goon strikes again.

 

[BB88]

Almost died when I thought 2mins of 5-3 coming up.
