GDT: Semifinal - May 25 - Russia vs Finland

[sadpanda]

Completely gutless and toothless effort from the Russians right from the start all the way to the final buzzer.

Getting used to this. Never Finland playing their game to the maximum, always the other team playing bad.


Let's f***in go!!!!

 

[Murky]

Finland did everything wrong after scoring the goal. They started to stand around and did not even look to connect the first pass. They escaped with the win.

However it was fairly even before the goal so it is not undeserved as such.

Anttila for Prez!

 

[grieves]

[Alex K]

Congratulations to Finland, well deserved win!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Kucherov, Malkin, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Gusev, Dadonov


On the ice at the end for Russia and couldn't find one. Wow.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Russian team play has disintegrated, all solo stuff now..

Always does.

 

[Lempo]

Good. The late game is better for my schedule tomorrow.

 

[Killahpunk]

Congrats to the no name Finns. There team has really come together nicely.

 

[shtorm2005]

Congrats Finland, perfectly executed "chess" game. Clearly coaching is the biggest weakness of our team.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Russia doesn't scare Canada at all

So what? Finland scares Russia more than Canada does.

Too bad for Russia they had a Grönborg kind of coach. He started coaching with 10 minutes left. Nice paycheck.

 

[Cellee]

Eh? Pretty sure they won every other game. This isn't over yet either.

They need their best players and everything to go their way.

See ya, Russia

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

At what point does the stereotype of the folding Russians just prove itself true. It's like my old man said when Tampa bay got swept, "Too many russians in one team". Maybe he was right

 

[Startseva]

Final Canada Russia would be better to watch, but ok gg.

 

[Jussi]

A certain poster is now desperately trying to think how he can say with a straight face that Olkinuora should play in the final

 

[grieves]

Hang in there Finnland. if you win I gonna count it as a Team EU victory and vote a liberal party to honour the victory tomorrow

Hey there are some smart people here too who are Finnish! Let's leave politics out of this!

So, the 128 pts guy who happens to be #2 in scoring this tourney doesn’t get you worried ?

Absolutely does not. He is a loser in the NHL also.

 

[ijuka]

This at 68 seconds

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

What does Gord Miller keep saying 212 NHL goals on the Russian Roster? Ovy alone has over 600...

 

[FVM]

This team! What fighting spirit, my God. Never in doubt!

Jukka Jalonen is a wizard. From everyday ingredients, meat and potatoes, he has cooked something incredible. I bow down to the maestro.

Statue for Jalonen!

 

[Deedog99]

HAHa. Typical Russians. Tough playoffs for kucherov in NHL and iihf.

 

[Cellee]

So what? Finland scares Russia more than Canada.

I would say so.

Finland performs best on best and all other tournaments

 

[Matte99]

Well done Finland!!!

 

[paragon]

HAHAHA, Feeling good eh?

Don't be a sore winner.

 

[Topi]

I almost died at the last few minutes
