Should be an interesting game - curious to see if the Finns can catch a US team on the 2nd of back-to-backs after a tight game with Latvia.

USA will win 7-0.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

USA will win 7-0.

Sisu has gone missing for you.

 

[Jukurit]

Easy win for gold favourite USA. Finland is bad. Offense is impotent and defence has more holes than Swiss cheese. Only godly game by Rimpinen will keep this a close game.

 

[Lambo]

6:0 for US! Finland without Sisu, without offense and without skating. The USA are the opposite.

Ah shit here we go again..

He's trying to change things up at least. But also when doing so he still seems clueless. That third line... Why have all those players in the same line?
Let's see what Soini is all about. But I would've wanted to see him instead of Nieminen or Jokinen.

I believe Pieniniemi and Kiviharju could have a very tough night ahead but let's hope I'm wrong.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

On form, this should be a handy victory for the USA. Form often goes out the window at the WJC though, as we have seen already this year.

 

[Svedu]

Sisu has gone missing for you.

Lol! Sisu is the only thing making me believe that the game will be worth watching and that I will never stop cheering for Finland

 

[WarriorofTime]

Rested Finns vs. Americans that played yesterday, will be a tough one for USA.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The official site says Slukynsky starting.. That would be extremely surprising.

 

[clevelandcane]

Any chance we actually get to see the game? Did it start yet? NHL Network still has SUI/SWE on.

Hasn't started yet. Probably 5 minutes to puck drop.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Thank god they turned that game off, GO USA!!

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Puck has dropped.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Rimpanen easing into the game with 3 high danger chances.

 

[MTU34]

This second line has been really good

 

[king89]

Possible to make this thread live?

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Eiserman with the foolish o-zone penalty.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Stupid ass penalty by Eiserman.

 

[Chainshot]

Helenius got crushed on that hit. His grandparents have bruises.

 

[MTU34]

Dumb penalty notwithstanding that’s easily the best start of the tournament for the US

 

[Jussi]

Textbook powerkill.

 

[Shocker]

Outside of the PP, looks like Rimpinen is gonna be busy once again.
