GDT: Semifinal - May 25 - Russia vs Finland

[LiveeviL]

Well. We *do* want them to be all about individual talent in the final minutes of the 3rd... The Usual Plan.

Well if anything Finland got a coherent team and a good system. On individual basis there are "some" big guns on the Russian side. I do not know, perhaps he still believes that Victor Tichonov is around.

 

[jj cale]

Don't let Kucherov pick your pocket.

 

[tictactoe]

Shots 23-18 Finland now

well Fins had 2 power plays.

 

[FinPanda]

I am scared about this game already. My head hurts.

 

[DoubleGold]

Perkele my pumppu

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

well Fins had 2 power plays.

One was half a powerplay and the other generated 1 shot.. did you actually watch them?
Finland has pressed the play more this game but Russia has consistently woken a bit during the game

 

[Cellee]

It was a well-humored comment on mismatch teams on paper giving a game that's more entertaining than best-on-best games occasionally manage to be.

 

[Barkkonen]

Just don't take penalty. pretty please

 

[king89]

What a play, great save

 

[Alex K]

Great passing, should've scored.

 

[Loffer]

Lanks shutting the door still
..

 

[King 88]

Finland running out of energy at end of periods.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Finland hasn't actually bled high danger chances.. great defensive game going on

 

[FinPanda]

Perkele my pumppu

This so much.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

I am scared about this game already. My head hurts.

Just woke up and my head hurts too, hangover. Can't believe its still 0-0.

Perkele my pumppu

Some symptoms in that department too.

Apparently Finns have been playing great.

 

[Jussi]

Lanks shutting the door still
..

We'd be leading with Olkinuora!!111!

 

[EK47]

Insane team defense. No one is giving an inch.

 

[King1s]

I think this is enough siima.

 

[Chimpradamus]

You want to know my favourite Finnish word? Kalsarikännit. I think there's alot of that going on right now in Finland.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I think this is enough siima.

EZ4ENCE

 

[ryerockarola]

Insane team defense. No one is giving an inch.

Yup. This game could end up 1-0. I think this favors Finland this style of play

 

[FinPanda]

You want to know my favourite Finnish word? Kalsarikännit.

I like that word too.

 

[Sam Spade]

Ovechkin's line generating the majority of chances, hopefully Russia can get another line going here.

 

[Loffer]

Lammikko to Moerkoe to Lammikko seals the game in the end. Mark my words.

Well, if only Morkoe knew how to use "susikaesi" properly (wolf hand)... we had a chance.

 

[ijuka]

We'd be leading with Olkinuora!!111!

Well he averages 2 points per game so...

So the shots are now even? Finland was at almost 2:1 in shots before period number 2. I guess this was Russia's.
