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

[The Man with a Plan]

Finns getting soundly beaten and not a single dirty elbow thrown. Other nations should take note.

That's why I don't get some of the hatred shown by some posters/fans.

It's not like the Fins are dirty or cheap. They beat us last time around fair and square. A great hockey game. Nothinf but respect for the fact that they know how to win and lose with honor.

I hope the Fins take home the bronze.

After ****ting the bed last year and at home in Vancouver no less, am I glad this is over.

And yeah, this is over.

So bold.

 

[RorschachWJK]

Suomi has beaten Canada recently in elimination matchups.

Emotions are high during the game. My calm, reflective self will return after the battle.

I do not like gloaters of any nationality.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Canada clearly read the book on the Finnish goalie. Literally everything is going up lol

 

[JackSlater]

Canada hasn't looked 5 goals better than Finland. I expect that Finland will pick up a few goals this period.

 

[Jussi]

I don't think this game is over.

It's too soon to look to the next one.

You haven't been watching Finland's games this tournament, have you?

 

[Shocker]

Ah, time to put the plan in motion.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Why the f*** would Hayton give a shit enough to get mad by Thomson of all people?
Nvm he was just mad at himself, the better C on the ice no doubt

 

[Dominance]

Ugh what a dumb penalty. Why give them anything.

 

[Barkkonen]

Everyone outside of Laine. I can't believe how the shot is taught over the little pond so differently that it's always a HARD shot

Yeah, Canada always have Lainesque level shot in any team they send. Kinda no brainer thing to focus on if you think about it hard shots > shots.

 

[Shocker]

Why the **** would Hayton give a **** enough to get mad but Thomson of all people?
Nvm he was just mad at himself, the better C on the ice no doubt

To be fair, he apologized instantly, didn't look intentional even before that either.

 

[Bounces R Way]

LOL Hayton with his second apology of the tourny

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Canada hasn't looked 5 goals better than Finland. I expect that Finland will pick up a few goals this period.

Maybe not but they have exposed the horrible defense tenfold, this was foretold by everyone who had a pair of eyes during the group stage

Thanks. Some of your fellow countrymen should read this and take note.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

hahaha Hayton should get 1 less minute on that penalty for apologizing profusely.

 

[jj cale]

I am not sure you realize how big losses those were. A small country simply does not have reserves to fix that.

I fully understand. I can't roll out excuses for you though, Canada never gets excused by other teams fans for missing players. it's part of being in the big boys of hockey club.................be happy you belong to it.

 

[Ginger Papa]

**** this country song

I'm saying Lafrenière is good.

And for what it's worth:
Lafreniere PPG:
QMJHL: 2.1875
WJC: 2

 

[NyQuil]

Veleno with some sweet PK moves.

 

[Ciao]

You haven't been watching Finland's games this tournament, have you?

No, but 20 minutes is a long time in hockey.

 

[Ainec]

I get the sense that Hayton is a dumb but sweet kid

 

[FinPanda]

Can we score a goal?

 

[NyQuil]

I'm saying Lafrenière is good.

And for what it's worth:
Lafreniere PPG:
QMJHL: 2.1875
WJC: 2

Thanks to your post, I will never doubt the Q ever again.

 

[Cellee]

Veleno with some sweet PK moves.

He has not put it in cruise control.

Grindin'!

 

[Gormo]

The Fins have had really our number the last few years so this is kind of a surprise honestly.

I expected a score like 3-2 or 2-1. The only difference seems to be that the Finish goalie had a lapse at a bad time.

 

[NyQuil]

Nightmare scenario.

Shocking.

That looks like a broken wrist.
