Something something score effects

 

[Czechboy]

For several minutes we had only 9 forwards to put on the ice
(Kupari injured, Ranta was getting medical attention and Räty was "temping" Ranta in the box)
For short period of time we had 8 forwards (one of our players had some issues with his left knee).

- good times -

You just summed up the last 3 Czech games... we had no fourth line and our 2 best forwards were injured.

 

[snipes]

Keep your foot on their throats boys.

Go Canada Go!!

I agree.

I just hear that TSN is biased all the time and I just don’t see it. They definitely concern themselves with Canada’s players but as far as interpreting what is happening on the ice, I don’t see it.

They are no more homerish then any other teams media that covers the games, hell, they might be less, we don't see how the other countries t'v crew goes on but I would be surprised if they made as big a deal out of the same high stick shit about their team that the tsn guys are.

 

[blindpass]

My 2 cents.. both were deliberate. The shot was out of frustration and should've been penalized. The clip to the face was deliberate too. He should've got a penalty too.

Having said that... not sure what the D should've done? You can't let a late shot like that. If I did that in my beer league I'd get slashed a LOT for the dick move. If he punches him then he gets a penatly. If he skates away, the Finn gets a penalty but it looks like he didn't defend his goalie.

You don't see the after whistle shot very often!

I can't say that is the turning point though... Canada was already flying!

The high stick want deliberate, the stick popped up when hit by the shot follow-through. That's what I saw live and the replay confirms it.

Should that be a penalty? Pretty gray, esp when it's caused by a late shot. Trusting the refs understood everything that happened and applied the rules.

I thought the trip preceding the Lafreniere breakaway should have been called, but haven't seen a replay.

 

[NyQuil]

Canada gets their revenge. Im not so sure are they ready to lose Russia again? And if they lose can Hayton grow some nuts and get his helmet of for national anthem? I have always liked Canada but Hayton is so embrassing little prick, so i hope Russia sweeps the floor with Canada in the final

Yeah, you really seem like the kind of guy that likes Canada.

5-4 Finland

 

[FinnishSniper]

The real question is whether that game would have happened if Canada hadn’t gone up by 3 early.

Yup, the start from Canada was great, but the main reason for the 3-0 in the first 5 was that the Finns were brutal and sluggish, not ready to battle. Maccelli’s defense on the 3rd goal was a great example of that haha

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Nice powerkill Finland

Ray loves the "simplicity" of the all black uniforms. He's a wardrobe consultant now.

At this point you need a junior superstar like Barkov, Laine or Kakko was. Individual effort, GOALSCORING and leading the way.

Unfortunately at this point we don't have any. That's why i'm not confident at all that we're coming back.

But to all of my fellow Finns: Remember where this team is coming from, before tournament and after terrible group stage. Injuries, missing best guys. This team will fall, but still playing for medals once again.

Semifinal game is always the most important one in Finland.

 

[slimnipsu]

we are lucky if we finish in top 6 after this one.... -.-

 

[nucks88]

Yep. Loads of time left. Didn’t Russia score four straight against us in 2015?

Stay keyed in, boys.

I’m sure the coaching staff brought that up....I would be scared shitless to face Hunter if I f***ed this one up lol...

And you had already given up 3 goals in the first 5 minutes before any of that had happened to boot.

 

[NyQuil]

Laf, great stick play but then too fancy.

 

[BullLund]

Yep. Loads of time left. Didn’t Russia score four straight against us in 2015?

Stay keyed in, boys.

This Finland team scoring 4 straight against Canada would be a miracle to end all miracles.

 

[Finner]

You could've left some salt for the others.

Sorry no salt here. I like the way Canada plays they are way ahead at this game. Great players great team but Hayton have done the most embrassing move what you can do. So i rather hope Russians embrassing Canada in the final and see if Hayton have grow some balls.

 

[Cellee]

I'm liking his game, keeping sharp even though they have a big lead.

​

Yep!

 

[jj cale]

Laf, great stick play but then too fancy.

One zigged, the other zagged.

 

[NyQuil]

Good scoring chance on the doorstep.

 

[nucks88]

Yep, my prediction score is perfect so far. Calling it now - Canadians gonna walk through us tomorrow. Easy dub no doubt.

So you do reverse jinxes in Russia too....good to know lol...

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

That Nousiainen pass and Räty pass show how this team just doesn't have actual skill

 

[jj cale]

Cmon boys, another goal, put these guys away.

Can't forgive a teenager that made a mistake...would be craziness. Gotta hold that one over his head going forward of course!

 

[Dominance]

Biased linesman, dirty trip
