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

[Adam da bomb]

We bulldozed you last year with absolutely terrible officiating in Europe.

This isn’t the Canadian hockey way. Instead we say oh both teams are good and quietly dismantle the other countries. Leave the cockiness for the Americans they do it much better.

 

[joe dirte]

Finns are pressing hard early, seems like a goal for them incoming soon if they keep this up.

The USA is pinned. That defense pairing is terrible.

 

[John Agar]

Very close

That's been going on since W'ya W'ya 2...

 

[pbgoalie]

Canada has been dominant, literally never been challenged, and is super confident. Will be interesting to see how they respond if they fall behind. All the pressure will be on Canada. And Levi remains a question mark in my mind. Knight could be the difference in a close game.

Levi has looked more stable than Knight to me

it’s Junior hickey and anything can happen, but if we get through Finland, every part of our team has to be great and it will still be tough to beat Canada. They look incredible

 

[McDrai]

Finns are pressing hard early, seems like a goal for them incoming soon if they keep this up.

They've actually looked like the better team for the majority of the game imo
The US are dangerous enough offensively though that they just need a couple of minutes to bury you.

 

[Shocker]

Kinda need to get one soon to have some hope.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Notice how Knight holds on to his stick

Thank god I think Ferraro’s head would pop off!

 

[Arhidia]

Caufield seems like a nice little fella

Ur aware he is a habs prospect

 

[Zub]

Caufield seems like a nice little fella

He's seems like a nice little toddler.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Lambert and Beniers are seriously impressive skaters. Look like a couple top 10 picks for the next draft.

 

[violaswallet]

Lundell with Lambert is dangerous. Why did it take them so long? Should have tried it against Canada

 

[FinlandPanther]

I didn't start anything.

I know who has started a lot of stuff in almost any thread though.

It's not a secret.

So you’re going to pretend this game hasn’t been even? Ok lol. USA capitalized on their chances, Finns were carrying the play for some time there but whatever to support your argument. Are you that insecure that my comment about being arrogant about being down 5-4 all game is unrealistic. Jeeeeeez

 

[snipes]

That big Forest Finn just crushed the Yankee D man.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

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.

I get The Big 10 Network too and I watch the hockey games when they deign to show them. I agree with what you have said. I have seen him make some pin point passes. He and Suzuki would probably do well together but they are probably too small to play regularly together. If he and Kotka connect it could be deadly.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Beautiful hit by Helenius Jr.

 

[dm1371]

OH NO

 

[NorCalhockey]

The USA is pinned. That defense pairing is terrible.

No kidding! Icing because US just couldn’t clear even when they had puck control

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Goddamn refs making him sky that out of play.

 

[NyQuil]

Caufield's gotta Caufield.

So much talent but so many gaffes.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Caufield...

 

[SUX2BU]

Take your damn cowboy hats off you hillbillies .....

I agree... with one context change... they do it much worse...

 

[snipes]

Lundell with Lambert is dangerous. Why did it take them so long? Should have tried it against Canada

That line should be double shifted going forward.

Ooooo Finnish PP upcoming. They need to score here.

Usually I'd agree if it weren't for the Finns moaning about Canadian "biased refs".

 

[Shocker]

Beauty snipe from Caufield.
