[Erikfromfin]

Fail scheduling intervenes with Eurovision

 

[Lambo]

Very horrible by the finns.

 

[FinPanda]

Granlund is so much better than anyone else on this Finnish team..

 

[FinPanda]

Not a good sign when we seem tired even though its only our 2nd game

 

[Zub]

Not to take anything away from Latvia, but this Finnish team is BAD

Latvia is younger and played earlier yesterday. Thats the only excuse I got

 

[Jussi]

[karhukissa]

Granlund will bring us gold again.

 

[RobRayzor]

This game deserves a tie

 

[king89]

Granlund always good in WC

 

[GX]

Four+ steps? That's charging

 

[FinPanda]

I feel like refs saved our asses.

Huge 3 points though. Should confirm QF no matter what happens against USA, Sweden and Czechs. Assuming we beat Austria and GB.

It's could be anything of boarding,cross-checking,etc, North American refs always screwing Latvia over,that's been going on for decades lol

 

[Namejs]

I feel like refs saved our ass

Yes.

Both goals on soft calls, no call in the end. Luck was on your side, but that's hockey.

 

[LKI]

Might have not been boarding, but definitely there was no hooking by Bukarts.

 

[FiLe]

Have to call it: that should have been a penalty.

 

[king89]

Yes.

Both goals on soft calls, no call in the end. Luck was on your side, but that's hockey.

Last penalty was a correct call, very unnecessary by the latvian player. But you guys played well and maybe deserved more.

 

[GX]

Same old story. With or without the refs, Latvian team deservedly receives no recognition, because it can't win. At least this year we know quite early there is no reason for QF hopes, as the team failed to pull an upset in either of the first two games.

 

[karhukissa]

Yes.

Quality comes on top 9 times out of 10 in these games. Finland only did the necessary like always in these first games, nothing fancy ever. You play as good as you need to and do the necessary, tournament begins during QF.

Respect to Latvia though, it's like a stone in a shoe always, tough to beat.

Latvia played an amazing game and deserved more.

But for confidence it would be better if you also beat the big teams.

 

[FinPanda]

Jalonen being visibly annoyed that the team didn't have full effort snd it was a must win or we won't see "quarterfinals".

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Eh, Finland-Latvia always ends 2-1 for either team, very hard working team
