WJC Group A: Dec 28 GDT - USA vs. Finland

[VladNYC*]

Actually Leo Komarov is orginally Estonian I think.. Anyway he plays a typically Finnish game; feisty, solid defensively, good wheels and medoicre hands.

Nah estonians dont have last names like that, they are closer to Finn last names. He must be an Ethnic Russian who lived in Estonia and moved to Finland as a kid.

 

[Zine]

The announcers are clueless.They said Rask was starting for Finland and didn't even notice it wasn't Rask until the first period had started

Why the heck do they keep hyping up Bourque like he's some future superstar?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Frazee comes up big again!

[Seachd]

For those watching TSN (or in my case just listening to it), Chorney was not the captain of the gold medal winning US Under-18 team in the Czech Republic, as Miller said.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Powerplay for the US.

USA seems to be dominating right now...

 

[Cherepanov 71]
