GDT: [WJC] Latvia vs. Finland, 6pm EST 9/8/22

[Canucks LB]

Jurmo coming out party!

Coming out party, sitting on the bench!!!

Demoted after two shifts where he basically did nothing wrong? Maybe a small turnover

 

[Daximus]

Finland is gonna have a hard time if they play like this against Canada or the US. Can't make these sloppy mistakes against teams that can actually put the puck in the net.

 

[Kcb12345]

Still not sold on Kemell's hockey IQ. He can score goals but his upside as an overall player might be limited

Big reason why he fell a bit in the draft imo

 

[JellyRamp]

latvia had a great opportunity there

 

[ORRFForever]

Latvia is holding their own.

 

[JellyRamp]

Latvia is holding their own.

yeah for now, i doubt this'll continue into the second or third

 

[Svedu]

Finland playing pretty sloppy and bad in the first. Räty created the first goal and Hirvonen the second. I hope and believe Niemelä will show what he's all about when the tournament get's going for real.

Good night

This is the 1st game and 1st period of the tourney.

This isn’t their peak form

You better hope it isn't.

 

[JellyRamp]

finland will have to watch out for the pp's, latvia looks really good during this one

 

[PanniniClaus]

Good PP from Latvia

 

[jj cale]

Latvia with the pressure on the p.p, probably deserved a better fate there.

 

[ORRFForever]

Latvia got lucky the period ended when it did - with the Finn player coming out of the box.

 

[Rengorlex]

Finland is steamrolling this tournament, by far the best roster and coaching.

 

[m0rkoli]

Meriläinen did good!

for sure

 

[Bounces R Way]

That was a pretty decent PP for the Latvians

 

[Mestaruus]

My Kemell goal scoring king of the tournament bets are looking good .

 

[CupcakeSprinkles]

How's Roni Hirvonen looking? Any opinions as outside fans?

No shit Sherlock.
I'm sure about that Pennanen knows damn well that we ( Finland ) can't make those mistakes
what we have done in this game when we are playing against Canada, USA Swede etc.
but hey it's first game of the tournament so what you can expect.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I got a trolling infraction for comparing Finland vs Lat like your drunk uncle beating you at age 7 at basketball? Ok lol

The thing is Canada and USA usually don't make these kinds of mistakes game 1 of any tournament. Unless the team is just bad which happens. Lots of talent on this Finland team but I'm skeptical so far of whether they can put it all together.

Best player on the ice so far, not that it means a whole lot in this game.

It's not very important how badly a much stronger team defeats a weaker opponent.
