GDT: U-18 WJC medal round games

[Jean Luc Discard]

Team FIN is trying hard to forfeit the game.

 

[Finnsane]

2-on-1 while shorthanded by two

 

[agent082]

nevermind

 

[WinTheRightGames]

Apparently, Finland has a player called Sarella.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Amazing how US cant score a single goal

And they're starting to wear down as shown on the 5 on 3.

 

[satbank]

USA is passing a lot on a 5 on 3 and holding the puck too long.

 

[QnebO]

Good job boys! Sisu! Would be nicer if they palyed offensively like in 1st but these guys know what it means to play in NT jersey. What a defensive battle from the team and goalie.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Incredible battle. Saarela culminates the fighting spirit when finland completely in the ropes

 

[rduck1]

Saarela looks like such a beast alongside his age group. It's sometimes so hard to forget how young he still is since we've been talking about him for so long...

Also, it seems like a tradition at this point to take a 3-on-5 in elimination games. Doesn't feel right without it.

 

[FinPanda]

USA isn't interested... I expect better at 5-3 PP. Good for the Finns though.

Amazing sisu.. Wow.

 

[JJTT]

Saarela goes coast-to-coast on 3vs5

 

[QnebO]

USA isn't interested... I expect better at 5-3 PP. Good for the Finns though.

If they aren't interested, its not excuse in gold medal game. It is bad excuse in bronze medal game, but at least some kind of there..

They are interested..

 

[agent082]

Then you can say that save is a robbery when skater allready celebrates goal by lifting his stick. That was a funny moment.

 

[Esko6]

That was a horrendous period by Finland. Finland had like 2 shots to while USA had 20. Vehviläinen was amazing, but I don't count on him getting a shutdown.

 

[agent082]

USA is passing a lot on a 5 on 3 and holding the puck too long.

It seems Vehvilainen is in their heads. They started pass more and more and try deflections rather than straight shots.

 

[FinRuutu]

I just want Aho to win his second championship in 24 hours.

 

[McGlassbangers]

 

[llwyd]

I don't know, great battle and all, but surely they are bound to score, this is one weird match... We really have to skate harder and control the puck at least a little bit.

 

[Esko6]

I think Pulju-Saarela-Laine did not play much that period? Were they being saved for the third or maybe just too many defensive zone starts?

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

It seems Vehvilainen is in their heads. They started pass more and more and try deflections rather than straight shots.

I thought the same, especially on the PP

 

[LtnCastillo]

Shots 34 to 13. Yeah. Okay. Everything is fine.

 

[Jussi]

Did TSN actually say Canada deserved silver?

 

[Jussi]

Laine has been pretty much a non-factor in this game. When he's not allowed to have the puck much, he's been invisible almost.

 

[Jussi]

Powerplay for us!

 

[Snowsii]

Laine has been pretty much a non-factor in this game. When he's not allowed to have the puck much, he's been invisible almost.

that line hasnt been much on ice.
