Quick sequence putting the Finns behind. They were in control of the game. Lots of time.
 
This is the best, most consistent reffing I've ever seen in a tournament.

Completely unnoticeable except on here. Unlike when it’s in Europe where calls can heavily be influenced by the fans and their whistling, a lot more of the ticky tack shit we don’t call in North American hockey gets called. It’s a hockey culture difference.
 
Pls. Lets be honest; Finland is second best team in WJC ever (-soviet). How many times Finland had to beat USA/Canada when u believe it?

They got son'd by Canada less than a week ago and are in the process of being kicked out of the tournament by the Americans.
 
The reason why we have relatively many boneheaded glasseyes in here from Finland, is actually quite lovely.

We're doing so fine that even the most unfortunate ones can somewhat type in english and have an internet connection.

At this point what Finland needs is Oskar Osala (Finland's play-by-play who ended his playing career last year) to say that only Finland can win the tournament out of these two like he said on-air against Sweden.
He also said that if there were cash prizes for the winners, Sweden should fix the game and forfeit it to get some of Finland's cash prize because they're going to win anyways

Soo.. It's only natural that the offer stands, USA, forfeit now to get some of that sweet-sweet imaginary money :laugh:
 
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.

Like I said, I expect them to be a large underdog but crazier things have happened.

Russia did outplay them handily but I feel they've improved since then.
 
Man, Duthie and Ferraro just double teaming on Askarov and his missing stick :laugh:
I am surprised at them. They usually just concentrate on every players good points. So much so that you would think every player was the next Gretzky.

The lack of audience is an interesting factor - there are no crowd reactions that might nudge someone to make a call on something borderline.
