GDT: WJC Quarter Finals: Game 23 | 1/2 | 3:30PM PST | Finland Vs Canada

[SabresSharks]

Enjoy, lads. Off to USA-CZE.

The serious lack of quality scoring chances....or even quality shots at this point is concerning.

This is a team that can’t score. Having said that, we desperately need an insurance marker at this point

 

[BB88]

In short, Canada looks terrible, Finns can't score.

 

[McDrai]

A speedster without hockey IQ and can’t create chances for others even in his wildest dreams. So just like he is usually.

So Puljujarvi then?

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Wow Dipietro. Jesus

 

[ORRFForever]

Finland has been lot better team so far

They have been better but not a lot.

 

[Hokinaittii]

Finland 0 - DiPietro 1. So tiresome to see our team playing better than opponent but we just can't finish.

 

[jj cale]

This 3rd period will be intense

Really could have used another goal that period.

 

[4thlineduster]

Price?

Was Price not before Pogge? I can’t remember

 

[MatthewFlames]

Terrific period by Ylonen. Created those two Tolvanen opportunities.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How's that not dirty?

He saw the guy avoiding the hit and tried to lean in to get him anyways, but all he could do was to throw the knee out, resulting in knee on knee.

If that hit was against Canada, he'd probably be thrown out of the game for that.

His knee was directly under the rest of his body, its not his f***ing fault the fin tried to move and left his legs out behind him.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's been awhile since Canada has had goaltending this good. It used to be a common occurrence.

Vancouver has themselves a good prospect in DiPietro.

 

[TruGr1t]

Canadians lacking offensively. Plenty of talented kids, but the only game breaker at the moment is in the net.

 

[behemolari]

how many shots Tolvanen will need for a goal, 30?

 

[Canucks LB]

It would be nice if Canada decides to play some hockey in the third period.

Lets go boys

 

[jj cale]

Traitor? Hahahahah

The foolishness that goes on here with some posters on hf, so f***ing tiresome.

 

[snipes]

Really could have used another goal that period.

DiPietro is bailing us out but you know what there’s an old saying in hockey, “you never need to apologize for good goaltending”.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Multiple great chances there. Just can't score. Comtois should focus on playing instead of trying to drill his elbow into opposing players' heads every time they have the puck.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

It's been awhile since Canada has had goaltending this good. It used to be a common occurrence.

Vancouver has themselves a good prospect in DiPietro.

Also been a while since the defense has been quite this porous.

 

[ookhaab]

His knee was directly under the rest of his body, its not his ****ing fault the fin tried to move and left his legs out behind him.

True, he should have just let comtois blow his head off!

 

[sandysan]

That's the way it is with these tournaments. A lot of these players will not become NHLers.

I know but the stretch I was commenting on he kept making bad choices and the puck just kept coming back to him.

I know they are kids, I know they will make mistakes. Just don't make them back to back to back.

 

[Lepardi]

Nice chant.

Very imaginative too, like North American fans usually are outside of the MLS.

 

[4thlineduster]

What acctually happend was that your guy was coming in elbow first did you see the replay? Missed him and hit him on the knee... I rember how you all screamed how dirty Edlers hit was on Staal but then again it was against a Canadian.

And if Comtois had hit him with an elbow I’d say it was dirty. But as it stands, Comtois didn’t connect with an elbow so it’s a moot point

 

[Tobias Kahun]

What acctually happend was that your guy was coming in elbow first did you see the replay? Missed him and hit him on the knee... I rember how you all screamed how dirty Edlers hit was on Staal but then again it was against a Canadian.

He was coming in about to lay a shoulder to chest, textbook hit, when the finland player tried ducking out of the way.

Clean play, unfortunate result.

 

[Fred McCarthy]

I'm just sitting on the couch and I feel like I played 2 periods , flipping intense

 

[blindpass]

Suzuki coming on now.

Been saying since the start of the tournement that he and Frost should be playing together. Seems like they create something every time they're out there together.

Meh, haven't liked Suzuki, would rather see Veleno get more ice. Suzuki has the skill to make something happen, but all in all he hasn't been doing much and he plays very soft.

MY HEART IS POUNDING
