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

[Artorius Horus T]

Wish we could get 2 in the last 6 minutes.

 

[Czechboy]

Well... good luck Finland. I hope you make a game of it. Canada looks amazing and well in control right now.

A Canada/Russia Gold and Finn/Swede Bronze isn't the worst scenario I could watch tomorrow.

LOL... while typing this Hayton took an elbow and looked hurt... puck went by and he immediately recovered and made a play. That is heart!

 

[Czechboy]

There’s a missed call on Hayton.

US refs with their grudge because of the War of 1812.

You burn down the White House ONCE and never hear the end of it!

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Lol sometimes a hip to the shoulder is a major, sometimes a blatant elbow to the head is no call. Gawd come on

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Hayton sure stopped his act as soon as he saw a puck.
Doesn't change the fact that man do these refs blow

 

[FinPanda]

If we can get one goal in this period I'd say we have a little chance. 4-0 down in the beginning of the third.. we won't come back.

 

[NyQuil]

Alone in front - I don’t think he knew he had the puck right away.

 

[King 88]

High sticking doesnt exist these f***ing refs lmao.

 

[jj cale]

Mercer with the chance, no joy.

 

[NyQuil]

It’s only White because they have to repaint it to cover up the fire damage.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE
scores on Annunen 5 times in a match

 

[Alex K]

Lol, Canada have better chances and they don't even try

 

[RorschachWJK]

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.

I didn't think they'd reach semis, I thought quarters are the ceiling this year. But they did play great against US and won that game deservedly.

 

[nucks88]

Looks like Canada are trying to end the second strong..

 

[Shocker]

At least the refs are consistent

 

[Alerion]

Mercer with the chance, no joy.

He's playing the Steenbergen role patiently.

 

[FinPanda]

That is nice from the Canadians. Being up by 4 goals is enough in the semifinal imo. No need to destroy your opponent. It's a humble thing to do.

 

[NyQuil]

At least the refs are consistent

I’ve seen a lot worse this year.

Schutz with his 5 penalties or whatever was pretty funny. The one where he stepped out of the box, got run into by a Czech and then had to go back into the box again was my favourite.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Honestly getting 3rd in their easy group was a f***ing bad look as is for this team, I hated the hype Helminen got for winning a 1-0 game, the game never looked good and the defense bled chances in every game

 

[Captain And Coke]

NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE

Challenge accepted!

 

[Brun0]

this game is on helminen, not being ready to go

 

[jj cale]

Seeing prevention rather than putting them away

Yeah, and I don't like it.

I think they're just saving energy for tomorow)

 

[NyQuil]

Canada pretty much giving up momentum at this point and just playing for counter-attacks.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

This has turned into a practice session for Canada

Last one in the rink kills the lights
