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

[Svedu]

I'm not only disappointed in the players at this point, mostly disappointed with Pennanen. You chose these players and even if we scored the third goal it never felt like we could secure a win comfortably.

He needs to reevaluate a bit.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

If I’m Finland, I go Raty-Kemell-Niemela and Lambert-Hirvonen-Heimoslami

 

[wonton15]

Mehhh on shootouts. Would rather see OT

 

[Monkey D Luffy]

Great strategy by Finland's coach there, waiting until 30 seconds left in the 3 on 3 to put Lambert out there.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Czechia historically always win in the shootout against Finland

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Imagine not putting Lambert out for this 3 on 3 with his speed. Just insane.

 

[Svedu]

Well, we have Meriläinen in the net in a shootout. I believe Czechia will win this one.

Puutio stepped up in his defensive end at least.

 

[Mrb1p]

Shootout is so lame.

Lambert is a cheatcode in OT because of his skating. Sad he cant do much else.

 

[ijuka]

Shootout, great. I guess Finland lost

 

[Mrb1p]

Well, we have Meriläinen in the net in a shootout. I believe Czechia will win this one.

Puutio stepped up with in his defensive end at least.

Bednar has been pretty weak himself.

I think you have a point - 3 on 3 is tailormade for him...

 

[MichaelFarrell]

As soon as Lambert is out there he is able to make an impact. I know he’s struggled 5 on 5 this game, but he’s made for OT. That’s just terrible coaching imo. You have a weapon. Use it.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Well that was an entertaining OT.

I think Czechia has the advantage in the shootout with Bednar

 

[ijuka]

Kemell also not playing OT at all.

 

[Svedu]

As soon as Lambert is out there he is able to make an impact. I know he’s struggled 5 on 5 this game, but he’s made for OT. That’s just terrible coaching imo. You have a weapon. Use it.

Pennanen in a nutshell so far, 0 out of 5 and there is no way around it.

Yeah, best skater barely got on the ice and best sniper had no ice time

 

[Daximus]

Finland coaching is odd.

 

[Svedu]

Pennanen, this defeat is on you.
Come the f*** on and let your big ego away. We won't stand a chance against Canada if he will keep on being this overly proud and stubborn.

 

[wonton15]

Czechia shooters are overthinking

 

[Svedu]

Ice cold Simontaival.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Czechia shooters are overthinking

All they have to do is shoot and hit the net. Finland's 2 worst players on the shootout score.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Mysak has been everything for the Czechs

 

[Hemsky001]

Well, that's unfortunate. Congrats to Finland.

 

[vildurson]

Sick shot from Simontaival.

 

[Svedu]

This penalty shootout win could be more important than we understand right now.

Because Canada will sure beat Finland if we play like this.
