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

[KaseMeOutside]

What ? He just gave a crisp pass to Zegras when he was alone in the slot and it turned into a goal...

again like i just posted to the other guy watch the shift they had right after he misses wide open guys to stick handle

 

[Chainshot]

Sneaky bastards.

I know, right? So much for the bubble. Jerks.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

It was such a weird play. I'm not sure what he was trying to do, lift his stick?

Idk, he rarely does anything positive in the mens team. I'd wager that he just literally did something out of habit when going to a scramble for the puck.

 

[McDrai]

Trudeau called me from Bora Bora said “it’s already done, we won son.”

I heard that USA will win tomorrow because Trudeau donated all of the team Canada players equipment to China

 

[TopChedder]

You are in for a surprise tomorrow. Didn't Canada struggle with Finns too? Only winning 4-1. Tomorrow will be a good game.

Canada will crush the US and it will not be close.

We could literally lose a full line of players and still dominate.

 

[Arhidia]

Eh, I'm a Kärpät fan and I'm going to be a homer right about now, Räty was unlucky to get a double minor there and give the US all the momentum after that defensive lapse, gonna be hard but not impossible

Thin skin tissue

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Caufield has some serious tunnel vision, he misses wide open guys just to stick handle

what the fak are you taking about. He tried to set up Zegras on the 2 on 1 when he probably should have shot and set up the last goal with the pass to Zegras.

 

[canuckking1]

Schroeder lol a former Canucks messiah

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Finns were playing such a good game and 1 mistake really shifted the momentum....USA needs to be disciplined here with their gaps. Make the finns score an ugly goal

 

[Smif]

Exactly. Loving this tournament; the refs are much less of a factor and the hockey is better as a result.

This is the best, most consistent reffing I've ever seen in a tournament.

 

[Static]

Stevie Y took Seider right?And Buffalo took Cozens. Zegras>Cozens

All three of those guys are really good and justified in any order really.

 

[Holystik]

Time for the Fins to start droping those custom wallets prizes in front of the refs.

 

[snipes]

I find it kind of endearing

They do love hockey in a genuine way, no one can take that from them.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Way to use that stick as a can opener

 

[John Agar]

Oops...

My Rye ran dry...

I have failed as a Canadian...

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Canada will crush the US and it will not be close.

We could literally lose a full line of players and still dominate.

It would depend on which 3 players we lost.

 

[joe dirte]

Fin fans are the most angry inferiority complexed people in these threads always

I usually find the swedes comical. They always come out claiming theyre way better, and are going to destroy you. Then, almost without exception, they lose and scream about dirty play and reffing.

 

[SRHRangers]

Boldy though..... Gonna score 30 a year right in front of the net. Love the play.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Finns were playing such a good game and 1 mistake really shifted the momentum....USA needs to be disciplined here with their gaps. Make the finns score an ugly goal

What man they wouldn't want Finns to score again, and the fashion of how the goal comes is irrelevant to any Finn.

 

[NorCalhockey]

My confidence in the finnish team crumbled fast... Unfortunately not fast enough to save my money.

Finns will need to muster all of the sisu they have if they want to get this to OT.

American speed and skill starting to take over.

I never underestimate sisu.
Also, Finns came from behind to beat Sweden so this game is far from over.

 

[Fatass]

Canada has 4 lines. USa has 2. The top 2 lines will need to be superb to win. Of course if Knight has a great game who knows.

Been saying this since the US lost that early game. Once those boys get their legs going there’s just too much elite skill for any team in this tournament to hang with them for 60 minutes. US will beat Canada by three, and be pulling away.

 

[Opak]

2-1 goal took the wind from our sails a bit. The double minor didn't help either.

Need to regroup quickly.

 

[Chainshot]

Oh they drank your beer? They used my
money for suncream and mojitos. And its -20 degrees here

You Finns are hardcore. Mojitos after New Years?!? You barbarians. You beauties.

Seriously - please share. I love a good mojito.

Previous game and the European tradition of blaming Canadian refs, us being a dirty team, or refs generally whenever Canada curb stomps a Euro team. Happens yearly.

The reality is they pissed because:

Ummm... nice beaver?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

You mean the common pass he made that any player can?

He should be dominating offensively.

He also made an amazing circle to circle pass between guys which Zegras laid off for a one-timer and probably should have drove and shot himself.

People don't have to be having two points per game in this tournament to be doing something. Caufield has been an important part of the team and he has been dangerous tonight. I wish he finished his chance in the first minute this game likely unfolds very differently, but he still has been good. I also get to see him at Wisconsin from time to time as I watch the B1G Network a decent amount having grown up in the midwest. He displays high level passing routinely at that level. He isn't just all shot, Caufield has good hockey sense. I am not sure he will be a star, but he is going to be a decent player in the league in my opinion.

 

[NyQuil]

I heard that USA will win tomorrow because Trudeau donated all of the team Canada players equipment to China

That's because Premier Jason Kenney told him that hockey doesn't exist.
