WC QROUND: May 6 GDT - USA vs. Finland

[topshelf331]

I assume you mean they aren't dressed? ...since they have both been late additions to the team.

Really, i never heard that. I just looked at the roster on IIHF and didnt see them.

 

[Kruutu]

what a crappy shot by Kallio.Damn.

 

[Pattypred]

Who is in goal for US?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Who is in goal for US?

Conklin.

 

[topshelf331]

Ty Conklin, and he looks way more solid than Dipietro looked.

 

[DARKSIDE]

They are not on the team.

I believe there on the team, just not in the line-up.

wow, fins are all over the u.s

Yep.. the announcments of their additions kind of flew under the radar but you can check out this thread for some more discussion around the subject.

They're on the roster but not dressed. They might see some action when the U.S. plays the Ukraine (who I believe will be one of the opponents in this round).

Gionta skating miles again today.

Not really a shocker as the Finns always work hard. Hopefully the U.S. will pull it together.

 

[Samsonov14]

Seriously, though - Anyone know of a radio station broadcasting this on the internet?

 

[Everest]

Finns have to kill yet another penalty.

 

[X0ssbar]

Vaanenen (sp?) called for hooking. US on the PP.

Gionta skating miles again today.

Thats what he does.When he plays against us i can't stand him...............that's when i know a player is good.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

he ain't no pig, that was a good check, just a bit carried away, but not bad-intended...

it was little bit dirty, i always hate to see someone going head first to board.. it just looks horribly when someone hits like that.

 

[Padawan]

Too many players on the ice. Another PK situation. WTF is with this team? Really undisciplined.

 

[Everest]

killed...and now the Finns are getting anotha' penalty...this time for too many men on the ice...if they kill this one it will be a miracle...very clutch moments coming.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

U.S. has to start finishing (no pun intended) it's chances, especially on the power play.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

killed...and now the Finns are getting anotha' penalty...this time for too many men on the ice...if they kill this one it will be a miracle...very clutch moments coming.

This is what killed the U.S. yesterday against Canada. Lack of production on the power play, which gives an opponent some momentum, and ultimately the deciding goal. I can see that happening in this game. The Finns can be very opportunistic.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

no penalty

how much USA paid referee?

 

[Everest]

Modano...horrible. even strength now,

 

[Padawan]

Whatta F...? A clear penalty for the USA for obstruction but the ref was asleep. Not good, but hopefully this will give Team Finland some anger that should be let out the right way.

 

[Everest]

Yes,the Finns outplay USA 5on5...just like Canada did yesterday.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

USA hit the post! oh.. so close. huh
