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

You guys will fall.

 

[Ippenator]

So Puljujarvi then?

Yep, reminds me pretty much of him as a player honestly.

Guys on the forecheck lay thebody?!?!?

Well I never!

 

[jj cale]

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

Never, in fact I have been starving for it for far too long.

 

[bukwas]

he's gonna shut them out.

You're relentless.







And correct.

 

[Gsus]

Making the opposing goalie a hero - the story of Finnish hockey.

 

[Sane]

Lundell seems like a lot better than Lafreniere

 

[snipes]

Never, in fact I have been starving for it for far too long.

We all have.

 

[Drew4u]

Top line needs to split. Too useless.

 

[Canucks LB]

I am so f***ing hyped up right now I need to calm down lmao

 

[Fred McCarthy]

Really could have used another goal that period.

That's what I was thinking the last 5 minutes ...would have been a big one

 

[4thlineduster]

WTF is Cole talking about? Fantastic skill by Hayton led to the goal? It was a blown toe drag in which he fell and luckily Mitchell jumped up in the play.

Had Hayton not screwed up, there’s no goal.

 

[snipes]

I am so ****ing hyped up right now I need to calm down lmao

Go Canada Go!!

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.

When you're committed to the hit that close in there is no stopping, let alone making a conscious decision to try and hurt a player. If that hit was against Canada the player wouldn't have tried to jump out of the way, he would have stood his ground to make the play and then skated back into the play.

 

[Blender]

Too many guys on Canada trying to do it all themselves. I'm sure that flies with their junior team where the offense flows through them, but they need to play within the team more here. Can't just hold onto the puck and try and dangle through everyone or pull the same toe drag moves over and over.

 

[The Drop]

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.

Prior to the start of the season many in local media were saying they see Dipietro and not Demko as the future started for the Canucks.


Long way away but it’s fun so far to see him doing well.

Driving me crazy that they keep calling him Mikey ...

 

[jj cale]

Would have been so very big.

Gonna be a tense period, the Finns were starting to come on hard.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Replay on Comtois' hit on Heinola shows his elbow hits literally the spot where Heinola's head was right before. That was absolutely a predatory hit with intent to injury, and he succeeded at that. Disgusting.

 

[aphyro]

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.

Wow just wow... You are either blinde or have a very hard time to be truthfull... he was not coming in to land a shoulder to chest he was coming in to place an elbow to the head.

 

[Lepardi]

Not as hot as you guys. 60 Celsius is about right for me.

60 degrees Celsius? That's like drinking heavily watered-down beer. A complete waste of time.

Clean hit unfortunate injury.

 

[sandysan]

So this is the only game not on the nhl network, but it is on espn plus. For the first intermission they didn't come back till 5 min into the second now we have Video of Mckenzie but no sound except for the transition pieces. He's insightful for sure but the shine is lost a little as I don't read lips.

A very bizarre way to watch a game.

I like the Finns....a lot , but their going down jj

Just watched the replay. Comtois doesn't extend his knee. Not sure what you are seeing.

 

[Cellee]

Is Kakko playing in this game?
