GDT: Semifinal - May 25 - Russia vs Finland

[Sentinel]

I have never, ever, ever, EVER seen Russia play so shitty. Everybody was absolutely atrocious. From coaches to Malkin. And not just the absence of any tactics (we've seen that before). But individual skills are all out the window. Terrible passes, horrendous puck control, but worst of all: absolutely worst possible decisions with and without the puck in every situation. Shame.

Let's go for that GOLD!! Our SISU is to much for this world!

 

[Lempo]

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

The studio guys first comment was that Lankinen starts tomorrow.

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

This season.

Wow! Full of admiration for this Finnish team that is nothing short of the single best defensive performance I’ve seen in a single game. Just insane. Impossible. Damn. Really Russia had nothing EVERYTHING was on the perimeter except for maybe one shot.

Jets could use a defenseman from Finland.

Sisu.

He means this season

 

[iDangleDangle]

Not really emotionally invested in this tourney (haven't been in years), but the "heart over matter" storyline this Team Finland is writing is straight out of a sports movie

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Great now I can go and troll my overly nationalist falks with how Russia can't even win a stupid hockey game^^

 

[Jussi]

Oh ffs, Maikkari not even showing national anthem live...

How in the f*** is this team in the final?

 

[robertocarlos]

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

Could be a good bronze medal game.

 

[canswetoxic]

Finland plays like shit vs weaker team but played a unbelievable match vs stronger opponents.

 

[grieves]

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!

I would take a very hard slap to the face to have this guy coach the Jets.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Impressive win no doubt about it.

[Laphroaig]

One of the best games I've ever seen in 60 years of watching hockey. I don't know who's going to win the Canada/Czech game but the Finns have to be the favorites to win gold now. Great tournament so far.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

What the f***

 

[Sam Spade]

Snoozer of a game but sort of what I thought it would be. Good luck to Finland, it feels like they win all the international tournaments.

 

[ijuka]

Ovechkin choked in this tournament again. What's that, 3 points in 9 games now? While playing next to super stars.

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

Loistava! Russia were a mess but Finland did their job brilliantly. Lankinen was colossal. Now go for Gold!

 

[illone84]

where is that russian poster who was bragging about this russian team beating St Louis/Bostion? LOL. Sorry man, first you have to pick apart some liiga stars!
