GDT: WHC QF - Finland vs Slovakia

[Shocker]

Will be fun to see Heiskanen, I think he was very good in Dallas games ...

It will also be interesting to see if Finland+Jalonen continues to ride the wave of success, or if Slovakia can make them a bit insecure as Finns are huge favourites to win on their "home turf "

Heiskanen so far in the tournament has been absolutely terrific, hope that continues today.

Boris Valabik in Slovak tv studio is suggesting Slovakia should keep passing the puck behind its own goal to break the finish trap system. Lmao.

Lehtonen hasn't been a slouch either..

He was on finnish news too. Jalonen commented something like we are in business of winning, rather play with tactic which can help material of ours to win, when valabik was not happy that Finland plays trap.
(Finland doesnt play trap all the time, only when they are too late to forecheck).

 

[NyQuil]

Canadian referee

He has to come from somewhere.

 

[Matti_A]

Olkiluoto with a modest 99.03 sv%

 

[pikkuvaimo]

Olkinuoras SV% is ridicilous

 

[NyQuil]

It's taken me awhile to get his sense of humour but Mike Johnson is pretty caustically hilarious.

"They love John Denver here."

I see zero forecheck from Finland for now, all 5 fins are backskating the moment Slovaks have the puck on sticks.

Slovaks doing the opposite, 3 players high on forcheck.

This will be interesting to watch.

If some one goes below goal line its not a trap. But surely we use it more

 

[Antiillafire]

Slaf gets a great look for a shot, best chance on PP. But yes he should be standing in front of the net pretty much useless

 

[Jussi]

What a fluke goal...

 

[Shocker]

Wow, freaky bounce

 

[Antiillafire]

SYKYYYYYY

 

[FinPanda]

We have been trash so far. No shots on Slovak goal..

 

[tobu]

That was a hot deflection. Good, we came to give Fins a game!

 

[Morgen]

Lets go Slovakia!

 

[karhukissa]

What i love about Finnish national team is that these bounces doesn't affect their game one bit. Until the end they play their own machine game, we'll see if it's enough today. Slovakia is tough opponent.

 

[Svedu]

Slovakia will win 2-1. Regenda and Slafkovsky (or Sykora) will probably score the goals.
I hope i´m wrong though.

Well, i was right with Sykora.
I betted on Canada when they were under with 3-0 (36 times the money) together with Slovakia winning (8 times the money).
I lost because it was an O.T. win so just please, c´mon Finland ffs!

 

[Morgen]

Finns feel the pressure of the home environment.

 

[AB13]

Heiskanen with a really bad giveaway on the goal and he basically causes that. No need to point that out really but with all the needless shitting om Dahlin from some posters I want to. So I will just say that. No need to start the debates again, I’m just gonna leave this and not say more.

 

[ddlennon]

Ohtamaa out there lost also nice celly for sykora

 

[Svedu]

I´m so impressed with Hartikainen this tournament. I hope he has the energy to keep on keeping on. Has a heavy body to carry but god damn, i love his strength and balance in the corners. We need to use him a lot because he has given me the impression that he can be the difference maker in this tournament, especially in the offensive zone and PP.

No niin, anna meille pari pistettä nyt Härski pe*kele!
