GDT: Semi Final: Canada Vs Finland | 1PM EST 7PM CET | CAN 5 - 0 FIN

[Shocker]

Finland getting killed?

You love to see it

Kinda makes you think how badly US would have been slaughtered here.

 

[rubikscube]

This game was over after that non call on the high stick.

It was over way before then. That's just an excuse

 

[Esko6]

Weird period, Finland looked okay most of the time

 

[NyQuil]

That’s about as good a period as I could ask for.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

This game was over after that non call on the high stick.

Nah think it was the fact we were down 3 goals in 5 mins

 

[Cor]

Well actually, Finland would have gotten a PP there with a 2+2, but not like it really matters here.

would’ve eventually got a 2 min powerplay, sure, but they just had one and didn’t do anything with it.

 

[karhukissa]

Proud boys of Finland wont give up. I want to see couple goals and loss with dignity

 

[Czechboy]

Austrian or Australian?

Australia... Austria's doing great! First division next year. Lots of snow.

 

[Lapa]

Stay mad Finland fan.

He's Canadian.

Yes.

4 goals will be tough to overcome but Hofer does not look very confident despite stopping everything so far. Doesn't look like a very sound goalie to me.

Disclaimer: Don't really know **** about goaltending.

I have to disagree, he seems to be in a pretty good place, he even seems to be getting lucky here and there, always a good sign.

 

[NyQuil]

Weird period, Finland looked okay most of the time

Really?

 

[ZEBROA]

Finland will win bronze if they dont comeback and win this.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Honest question....are you new to hockey? Or just purposely being stupid?

So, I score a goal and raise my hands in the air to celebrate and clip the opposition in the face.

2 mins for high sticking?

 

[Rygu]

Stay mad Finland fan.

I don't think he's a Finland fan, just an adult.

 

[FinPanda]

I mean I don't hate to lose if we show up and play a good game. This hasn't been like that at all. This is the worst possible way the game has gone so far.

 

[Snippit]

McMichael is going to be in the NHL next year. Been saying it all year.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I thought Canada played average.

 

[jepjepjoo]

From the replay: Finnish player doesn't hear the whistle and it's a f***ing SLASH straight to the face

 

[Captain And Coke]

Imagine they were given the proper 4 pp minutes? Score once, momentum changes, 3-1 game. Score twice and it's anybody's game.

I just wish that whole insane chain of events didn't happen, because right now this 4-0 lead feels kind of dirty...

Agreed. If Finland pots one to make it 4-1, I will feel fine again.

 

[NyQuil]

I thought Canada played average.

Agreed.

If they were really trying, imagine what the score would have been.

 

[FinnishSniper]

Probs an unpopular opinion, but in my honest opinion. After the first 5 the Finns were very good. Just put the puck in the met from a few great chances they’ve had and it’s a whole new hockey game.

After the first 5 Canada hasn’t been anything special, seems like they were too comfortable with 3-0.

 

[matsqq]

I hope Helminen never steps foot in the rink for another Team Finland, not often you witness such unstable performances. Pathetic.

Next year he will play himself in the U60

 

[Czechboy]

Weird period, Finland looked okay most of the time

Exactly.. they actually didn't play bad at all. I don't blame the goalie either. Canada just kept converting on beautiful plays. Finns had some good looks and over 10 shots.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Atrocious period, it happens with kids. 4-0 was really unfortunate as they were just getting into the game
But when oh when will the Teemu Selänne School of Goalscoring start? It would be 4-2 if Finland would have shot at empty space instead of the Canadian goalie or his pads directly
Players need to learn that getting a shot off is not good enough
