Olympics: Semis Game Thread: Slovakia vs Finland

[Satans Hockey]

The coverage by NBC blows, half the shit they say is gonna be on isn't even on. This game was scheduled to be on USA and instead they bumped it to peacock even though the guide says Finland vs Slovakia.

Big kill for Slovakia

Hopefully the zebras give us a powerplay

 

[Erikfromfin]

Missed 5on3 leads to bad karma

 

[Antiillafire]

Too many men? Come on… refs

 

[lawrence]

Slovaks needs to stop with these distant shots.

 

[Kezaster]

If Fins keep this thing up, Slovaks are going Finals.

 

[LKI]

And still Slovaks looking better... This game deserves to be at least 1:1

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Slovakia have been playing their heart out, the better team so far, but I wonder if the tank is starting to be empty and a cold hard third period is ahead of them..

 

[Luolis]

It's gonna be a looong 20 minutes...

Something is missing this time around with team Finland, maybe it's a lack of creativity, they just keep grinding and dumping it in. We don't have a Slafkovsky on our team.

The finns are honestly lucky to be ahead 1-0, could just as easily be the other way around.

I feel Slovakia has been the better team and I think they'll win, they are usually strong in the third.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is true and us Slovaks have a curse of coming up with ZERO goals in big games. Football and hockey, man oh man it’s tough sledding

Finns had some good long cycles and shots in start of 2nd, but then Slovaks controlled the rest. The 2nd perioid usually is like that, when one team gets control the momentum just keeps flowing. I hope to see better 3rd peroid from our team. No need to look good on ice with risk, just defend well and use the turn overs to strike back for all I care, its about winning.

 

[Antiillafire]

I’d give our final three magic beans to Rybar, Slaf and Cehlarik

 

[kudla]

Okay magic beans I pray to you again

 

[stastny12]

Magic beans please (praying emoticon)

 

[Antiillafire]

f***IN REFSSS

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Such a bad call

 

[SoundAndFury]

What a horror show of a PP that was.

 

[Gsus]

Need to be careful with Slaf kid.

 

[tobu]

Magic beans, we need you!

 

[edd1e]

Finland is playing like this is a practice game. No tempo, no heart. Looking scary..

 

[Gsus]

Laine hasn't scored yet, waiting for that
