Heavy Fav Finland vs never say die Slovaks.

My Czechs are out and yet I'm nervous about this one. Love Finnish hockey and they are my Gold medal fav but go Slovakia GO!!! (good luck to Finns too).

I think it comes down to Rybar.

Finland is going to smash them like a guitar

Strength and Honor! Slovak brothers!

Slafkovsky will start on first line

Ramsay finally coming to some sense. Play the first line 25 minutes. No reason to hold them back.
And keep Dano contributing as he did last 2 gams. He is best served on the bench.

Obligatuary, man it would be so much fun if all international games would be played on small rink. So much speed

Slovaks don’t have top end talent (former NHL guys) that Finns have. I’d kill for even a Panik and Sekera to be here

Despite the score, I thought Slovaks were tiny bit better in 1st.

The Slovaks have had a really good first period... in every battle, making good plays with the puck... really impressed. Finns fortunate to score on a fanned shot.. Slovaks lost coverage for a half second. Cagey game,.. every inch of ice contested

I think Suomi were just warming up. Still got an easy 1 goal lead.

 

[Czechboy]

Pretty even... Slovaks.hanging in!

Finland gets next goal and game over

 

[kendoman]

A good first period from the Slovaks. I think this will be a close game.

 

[tobu]

Slovakia closed the gaps for the odd man rushes. Both teams were flying in high pace, both had some chances, Finland converted one. We have a close game.

 

[xyzed]

Finland is mostly waiting for mistakes. They are very patient and with their killer instincts its just a deadly combination. No matter how good you play, If you make a mistake, you will pay for it

 

[tobu]

Superb feed by Slafkovsky to Hrivik who missed an empty net on a deke in speed. Could have been tied.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Slafkovsky is far and away the best player on the ice... 17

 

[King 88]

This will be 1-1 in no time if Finland doesnt get moving.

 

[Antiillafire]

Our dman are so much worse than Finns. It’s not even close

Slovaks can win this. I know Finland plays with a formula, but there not unstoppable.
