GDT: Semifinal - May 25 - Russia vs Finland

[FinPanda]

I like the way we have played.

 

[ebergeist]

The ice is full of dying swans.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I wouldn't say that we have dominated, we have pressed the play more though

 

[NyQuil]

Close chance there.

As a spectator, I like seeing a little animosity develop on the ice.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Russians are doing a good job boxing out the front of the net.

Yup, something Sweden for example didn't do during the whole tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

No way they are going to allow that goal.

 

[FinPanda]

Another missed chance

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Well blood has been drawn. Lindbohm either ate the ice or a stick.

 

[ijuka]

Finland can't score...

 

[ryerockarola]

Holy Vasilevsky!

 

[NyQuil]

Feel bad for the Finns - they clearly want that first goal, but the longer it goes, the more frustrated they are going to get.

 

[Alex K]

Vasilevsky does it again!

 

[Loffer]

Finland dominant but not scoring goals. Russia will probably score on first chance. Usual game.

I like your pessimism. Just wondering if it has enough jinx power in its modest wording.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Clear high stick on Lindbohm though..

 

[NyQuil]

Clear high stick on Lindbohm though..

Not that clear - in a mad scramble.

Completely wrong, Russia are the favorites. They are the ones that should feel pressure to score. 0-0 is a win for Finland.

 

[FinPanda]

Unlucky for us, so close

 

[NyQuil]

Completely wrong, Russia are the favorites. They are the ones that should feel pressure to score. 0-0 is a win for Finland.

Exactly - so how long is Finland going to carry the play until Russia's superior line-up starts to assert itself or they get a PP?

 

[Lempo]

We are used to the puck just not going in. The older guys at least can cope.

The ones getting frustrated are the russians. This finnish train is not stopping, choo-choo

 

[nucks88]

Homer for who exactly?

The Trail Smoke Eaters....

60 minutes should be enough.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Not that clear - in a mad scramble.

They have multiple pairs of eyes to see through that. We didn't get a 4 minute powerplay because of bad reffing, really. Not that we would score during it though. Eh, move on

If you think this game is going to go like this for 60 minutes, I think you're mistaken.

 

[agent082]

Clear high stick on Lindbohm though..

Referee thought he had periods.
