GDT: USA vs. Finland, Jan. 4th, Semi-Final; 1:30 pm EST, 7:30 pm local

[tictactoe]

imo thid is a very average Finlad team. Very average at best

 

[Dakota Sioux]

This has upset written all over it with the way the Finns goalie is playing up to now

 

[Bounces R Way]

Much better period from USA

 

[End on a Hinote]

If this game keeps going the way it is, then I guess you can say the Finns will be....in love with the Kokko.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Kokko is standing on his head right now. Really need to solve him soon

Not good that they can't beat a poor goaltender.

 

[OKR]

Total opposite from the last period, now US pushing the pace and Finland coming close to creating grade A chances on the counter but missing the final pass

 

[AZviaNJ]

US wearing down the Fin D….just can’t bury one.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Crossbar for Finns

 

[TimeZone]

This has upset written all over it with the way the Finns goalie is playing up to now

And then he'll be exhausted tomorrow and Sweden will win by 3.

 

[tictactoe]

Shoot first mentality is not always working on big ice.

 

[TLEH]

Need to get 1 before the end of the second.

 

[LaMasquerade]

Awful period so far.. (only kokko is performing)

 

[JetsFan815]

Finland playing with fire if they keep playing like this.

 

[MNRube]

Man, Nazar is a beast. Gauthier on the other hand, Is a frustrating player to watch

 

[AZviaNJ]

Need a fluky goal (any goal). Get Leonard in front and let a puck bounce off him.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Shoot first mentality is not always working on big ice.

The problem is Smith is getting the scoring chances and screwing them all up.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

How bout some traffic in front of Kokko

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Defense pairs have been completely shuffled.

 

[LaMasquerade]

So, we´re at half point now.. 0-2, but could go either way

 

[tictactoe]

The problem is Smith is getting the scoring chances and screwing them all up.

Finland also has scoring chances... they are playing Dsive game of course.. they are leading a much strong team (on paper)

 

[MNRube]

Feels very much like a next goal wins type of game

 

[agent082]

Doesn't DJ have any Will Smith songs?

 

[LaMasquerade]

Finland also has scoring chances... they are playing Dsive game of course.. they are leading a much strong team (on paper)

Yep, would be stupid to play gung ho style while leading with 2 goals

 

[sadpanda]

is this us team small or am I drunk?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

refs gotta call a penalty eventually
