GDT: Semi-Final | United States Vs Finland | 9:30 PM ET | NHLN/TSN

[Mickey Marner]

Niemela can't seem to make a pass to the forehand.

 

[Erikfromfin]

good period. we would have this game on the bag but man that Zegras is scary

 

[Czechboy]

Nice period.. super close game. Finns came out ok against Sweden and then were a house on fire for periods 2 and 3. Curious if they can do that again?

 

[Go19]

Knight looked good there.

 

[Killahpunk]

Decent opening period, looks to be a closely contested game.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Extremely positive 1st period from the Finns

 

[Opak]

1-1 it is after 1st

 

[snipes]

Good period for the Finns

The Canadian refs are doing the best they can to help you.

Are you satisfied with the level of officiating?

 

[Husqvarna]

Finland can play the game o' hockey - expect no mercy USA ...

 

[kilowatt]

Kaliyev looks pretty good, he was sluggish up until last game and now he looks much quicker and much more engaged.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He friggin tripped him. What the heck do you want?

It was a dive.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

first line only one getting any chances, 2nd line hasn't worked all tournament, don't wait to long to mix things up finland is real team

literally shocked with the reffing...

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

US needs to calm things down a little. They have more talent overall but need to be a little less sloppy.

 

[Zub]

Americans are going to have beat Finland AND the Canadian officials if they're going to make it to the Gold Medal.

I hear the Americans got a few undercover staff to sabotage equipment aswell.

 

[The Blue Baron]

It was a dive.

Nah!

 

[McDrai]

If I'm the US coach I'm playing Zegras 20+ minutes in this one

 

[KaseMeOutside]

The Finns are out skating the Americans right now. Survive this PK and regroup at the break.

Helps when you get PP's for stick checks

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Kaliyev looks pretty good, he was sluggish up until last game and now he looks much quicker and much more engaged.

You are just getting used to him looking sluggish. He pays attention offensively

 

[Osprey]

USA is lucky that some of those Finn passes on the powerplay were really bad. It could be 2-1 right now.

 

[John Agar]

Nice period.. super close game. Finns came out ok against Sweden and then were a house on fire for periods 2 and 3. Curious if they can do that again?

The U.S. must adjust their play and speed up and be more direct in the next two periods...

Or the Finns will cook their goose...

 

[NyQuil]

literally shocked with the reffing...

We'll try and do better next period. 4 or 5 powerplays? How many do you want?

I can text them as they wait in their little ref dressing room.

 

[Arhidia]

Refs read the HF boards before the game, so they decided not to annoy Finnish fans

[Odie Cleghorn]

If I'm a scout for an NHL team I'd want M Beniers

The question is how high in the draft to take him.
