GDT: [WJC] Finland vs. Czechia, 2pm EST 11/8/22

[Loimike]

Anybody else really disappointed in Niemelä so far?

Not sure why ?

 

[Erikfromfin]

How Carolina took Heimosalmi and Koivunen ahead of Räty in draft I will never understand

 

[LaMasquerade]

Only impressive thing with Finland so far? They play really bad but somehow they're still in the game...

We kind of have just one line that is able to create lasting offense. And some bright spots like Roby and (occasionally) Lambert. Goalie has actually been good after the 1st period.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Raty is Finlands best player for me. I don’t think Lambert has looked that bad but i thought he’d be more noticeable.

 

[CoSi]

Jan starting to live up to his brother's legacy

 

[Ace]

This is an enjoyable game

 

[wonton15]

This Fin goalie is shaky as hell

 

[PanniniClaus]

This is a good game of hockey...

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Meriläinen will let a third in, make no mistake about it.

You must be psychic.

 

[ijuka]

Allowed 3 softies in one game, impressive

 

[Svedu]

So good of Räty. C´mon guys, get a grip now for f*cks sake!

 

[hockey20000]

sigh tie it up then take penalty dummb move Cze

 

[Ginger Papa]

Meriläinen will let a third in, make no mistake about it.

 

[LaMasquerade]

This Fin goalie is shaky as hell

Yeah.. few secs after I said he's been good :F

 

[Svedu]

The Czechs are closing Kemell every single time, please understand that already and create something else.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

That’s just a great penalty draw. Raty deserves player of the game for sure. He’s been all over the ice.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm kind of sad I'm missing this game, but my daughter needed me this afternoon.

 

[wonton15]

Commentator keeps saying Ruutu and it’s confusing me lol

 

[Svedu]

I'm actually quite disappointed in this finnish team so far.
Impressed by Czechia.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Anybody else really disappointed in Niemelä so far?

Pretty clearly been the best defenseman in both games for them so far. Consistently clean breakout passes, good evasiveness. He's not some offensive dynamo dman. He's just a steady two way guy.

 

[gritdash60]

Now that's a hit!

 

[Erikfromfin]

I quess Lambert got benched again hasn't played since his penalty

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Now that's a hit!

Should have been a penalty. Hit him in the neck.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I quess Lambert got benched again hasn't played since his penalty

He was on the PP after and then had a 5v5 rush in on net.

 

[Canucks LB]

Talk about a huge difference between game 1 and game 2.
Joni Jurmo is having himself quite the hockey game.

He is a longshot for the nhl, but man does he have the tools.
