[KirkAlbuquerque]

Perreault to the Fresh Prince for a slam dunk

 

[MNRube]

USA!

 

[Svedu]

Finlands are pure garbage at D and Kokko shaky with questionable puck awareness.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Great seeing the Fresh Prince tying it up while the Finns are asleep after a fast start in the first period.

 

[tictactoe]

Ha... Finland cannot play just D now. Now what... As I said earlier thisd is a very average if not below average team Finland.

 

[TLEH]

Finlands are pure garbage at D and Kokko shaky with questionable puck awareness.

This game is 2-2 only because of Kokko and Kokko only.

 

[bl02]

Oh look Perreault the passenger sets up another teammate for a slam dunk.

 

[JetsFan815]

Finns hoping to play prevent defense for 2 whole periods was obviously not a recipe for success.

 

[NyQuil]

Canada went down 2-0 to the Czechs and tilted the ice for the rest of the game only to lose on a double deflection.

I’m curious to see if Finland tries to hold or presses their advantage further.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

USA starting to take over now

 

[Mickey Marner]

Should be a great 3rd period.

 

[Flinkkis]

Finnish defenders are so trash on the puck in their own zon.

 

[SI90]

Let’s f***ing go!!!

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Casey's been dancing this period

 

[jj cale]

Lol USA choking big time. They cant play in Europe.

you were saying?

 

[Shocker]

This game is 2-2 only because of Kokko and Kokko only.

Idk about that, Finland had prime opportunities to score like 5 in the first.

This period has been all USA though.

Kaka had to respect the shooter. D man could not get the puck aand prevent pass.

 

[Luolis]

Why in the f*** did Mikkola decide to bench Hemming after the 1st period? Actual braindead move that made our 4th line useless int he 2nd.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Night and day compared to first 20

 

[ottawarenegader613]

you were saying?

Probably must be thinking about the senior Men's World Hockey Championship.

 

[EK47]

Crowd a lot more quiet when USA scores.

 

[TLEH]

Idk about that, Finland had prime opportunities to score like 5 in the first.

This period has been all USA though.

Augustine also been good. But this period domination could have easily been 4-5 goals.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

what a brutal icing call

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I'm impressed with the Finns.
They've got stick in lanes a lot and are backchecking like crazy.

Win or lose I can't fault their effort.

 

[Svedu]

This game is 2-2 only because of Kokko and Kokko only.

No, Finland were better first period with plenty of missed chances. So... You are wrong.
