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

[Harbourmouth]

I originally thought the US would be a better final game to watch but I’m not sure. Pretty much a one man show. 1 player won’t beat Canada. Finland has the better chance.

 

[bsu]

REF U SUCK!!

 

[ijuka]

Probably not. He is a good example of a player who can be great in Europe but is not skilled enough to overcome size issues in the NHL.

Well this is small ice though

 

[Stive Morgan]

Gonna be a fun ending

 

[jj cale]

People aren't gonna be happy here, lol

 

[robertocarlos]

Whistles put away.

Except they have to call delay of game. Second degree murder they can ignore.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

this might be the game right here. if they don’t score here I feel like they’re pulling the goalie right as the pp expires.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I would already pull Piiroinen. That's just me.

 

[The Blue Baron]

That hit the glass but I don’t think they can review it

Ummm, no.

 

[Hasa92]

Get it done boys!

 

[John Agar]

Hmmm...

Please tie it Suomi...

I have to get up early tomorrow and do a good job...

But overtime would be so worth a bad day at work...

 

[Opak]

Finnish powerplay coming up

Time for tic-tac-toe #2.

#3

 

[McDrai]

Thrung it over the glass

 

[BMOK33]

Ummm, no.

If it didn’t hit the glass it hit the Finland players stick

 

[TimeZone]

Don't look as bad as they did against Russia. Just more closely matched tonight. Which doesn't bode well for the gold medal game if the result holds.

Unless they have another gear or Knight has the game of his life it may get messy tomorrow night.

I do think they're capable of playing better than this though.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Here's Finland's best chance to tie it!

 

[SI90]

Not a good penalty at this time from Thrun.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this is bad

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

They did pretty well in the round robin this year until they played Canada.

That's really the only bad game they've played.

Yeah well that was the only game that was really a challenge and they looked terrible.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I would already pull Piiroinen. That's just me.

I might pull him with 20 seconds left if the puck is still in the us zone

 

[BMOK33]

This rule has so got to go. I wish they’d just dump it already. I wasn’t aware any leagues other than the NHL even had it

 

[Antonglk]

When refs can't change the game, you can always pay Thrun

 

[NyQuil]

OMG, 3-3.

Crazy.

 

[Pez68]

Can't complain about the last two USA penalties. Just dumb plays. But Finland has gotten away with a bunch of trips and interference.

 

[MattySnipes]

Tie game baby. Hirvonen.

 

[SI90]

There it is.
