Olympics: Semis Game Thread: Slovakia vs Finland

[Shocker]

f***IN REFSSS

Weird thing to say after all 3 penalties have been crystal clear.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think that this is not looking very easy for our team Finnish Lions. Leading the lead is good, and if they can maintain the score, even better!

First 2 yes, last one was very questionable.

Refs are fine. They missed one too many men on ice, but that's all.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Typical final/semi-final game, desperate attack meets desperate defence. Who makes a mistake first?

no it was not. Such a weird thing to say

If you miss the body on a hit and sweep out the legs, that's textbook tripping.

Slovak dman look toast, extra game is catching up now.

 

[QnebO]

Slovakia has probably 10 shots from negative angle, and Im not making it up. They shoot from absolutely everywhere, which makes alot of shots but we defend better than the shot chart says.

We don’t have the quality of players to really get into really good look outside of our first line. But yes I agree this feels like Slovak game vs Sweden at WJC

Finland has the best D in the tournament. They may not be optically possessive and dominant, but with a strong D and a killer instinct to burry one more chance than your opponent is a winning formula.

Also Hudacek alone has at least 3 shots from the neutral zone.

Probably the best game we've played against Finland in a decade, still not enough. One year we'll break it.

 

[Jussi]

PESONEN EN!

 

[JoVel]

Pesonen definitely did not want to Stefan that ahah.

 

[tobu]

Good game Finland, take gold!

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Finland... In finals as expected.

Go for bronze Slovakia!

 

[elMatador]

Well, Marincin's brain fart cost Slovakia the game.

 

[Snowsii]

You've been better than us like 55mins.. Hat's off, you guys has nothing to be shame of.

 

[Antiillafire]

Well 4th is nice. Bronze medal game doesn’t even need to be played

Slovakias story reminds me so much of Finlands journey to the top, so close so many times (1988,1994 etc) It kind of feels like a path you just have to go through, enough of these and soon you’re winning and a serious contender year in year out

 

[Shocker]

Well, that was the worst game i've seen in a while.

Slovaks deserved more, but that's how it goes sometimes, Finns play like this in the final and they're getting destroyed.

 

[jonlin]

The worse team won today. Thank you Slovakia! You played really, really well. I hope you take bronze.

 

[Puhis]

Harri Säteri is an actual god.

 

[jonlin]

Good game Finland, take gold!

Thank you. You were the better team today and deserved the win. I`m rooting for Slovakia to take the bronze!
