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

[Shocker]

Thoughts on the three Finnish players Finn fans?

Agree? Disagree?

I'd say the best of the tournament awards went to the right guys, not that we actually had that many to choose from.

 

[Juniorhockeyguru]

No. It's not a half-assed tournament. It's just traditionally very important in European hockey countries and often very good quality too. It's not like the Spengler Cup or some other dog turd of a tourney.

NHL and NHLPA have destroyed best on best tournies. You should talk to them about that.

It is if you don't have the best of the best. It's on the same level as the Spengler Cup for me.

 

[Mikeshane]

The Hayton injury hurts. I didn't have the best early impression with him but he makes some nice skill plays and can keep up with Foote and Lafreniere.

 

[peterthegreat12]

McMichael do something to piss Hunter off? Didn’t see him play at all the last half of period 3.

Who the f*** cares lol

 

[NyQuil]

Problem with the Russians is that even if you get a lead, they can put 2 or 3 past you pretty quick.

 

[Shocker]

I am impressed about the fellow Finns here. It has been a blast even though the game was over after 5 minutes.

Few bad eggs showed up in the start, but i guess they were promptly silenced.

E: As soon as i post this, one of them reappears.

when you get molested like that, it's hard even for us to look anywhere else than in the mirror

 

[jj cale]

Well i guess that wasn't the game we were expecting but as a TC fan I of course am pretty happy even if it didn't deliver excitement wise like we hoped.

Canada came in with a chip on their shoulder against Finland today,it was something sticking in our craw, traditionally that's bad news when you get an angry and motivated Canada, Finland found that out today.

But hey, a run of 3 straight elimination game wins against us is pretty damn good, chin up.

Tanus definitely. Annunen played great game when needed against USA. Puistola disappeared in the important games. Would have picked Oden over him.

Canada has to come out like that again against the Russians.

They certainly did in our earlier match-up and the game was over before it began - similar to this one.

 

[AllIDoIsLie]

So.

Going to swallow my pride. I'll keep my mouth shut until after the Bronze game. But until then, go Canada!

Hoping you bring the same game tomorrow and show the russians how the game is supposed to be played!

We will get another shot at you in roughly five months at the WC.

Tanus, Annunen, Oden for me.

It’s probably in this thread somewhere and I wasn’t paying too close of attention to the game either. Was Byram playing at all?

 

[Satan]

Let’s go

yeah, but we should ignore those guys.

Yup, I think we need to come out even harder. Russia is the fave, my pre tournament pick and I have seen nothing that changes it. We need to dig in big time.

 

[greatwhitenorth]

I wish Finland all the best luck tomorrow against those darn Swedes, keep your heads up and go get'em boys!

Canucks will certainly have their hands full with Russia, hopefully we see some classic battles for the hardware.

OMG! I was just thinking about that interview!

I keep that GIF handy for emotional losses. I use this one for fans who complain after a win:

​

 

[BusQuets]

Tanus, Annunen, Oden for me.

Would probably pick Tanus,Honka,Oden.

 

[Snippit]

He's been real bad the entire tournament.

At this point I'm thinking Mercer and Drysdale will get picked higher.

No chance. Look at Byfield's OHL numbers

Nah, he was sick.

What, are you talking about me?

He was out sick the whole game after trying the warmups.
