Canada just missed on what would have been a beautiful goal

 

[JJTT]

Jesus Finland. Stop with the turnovers already. Every pass goes straight to Canadian stick..

Chychrun has made some really glaring errors in this tournament. The type you don't expect from such a highly ranked prospect.
It could be unfamiliarity with his team mates but many are elementary plays.
That was close, rang it off the post.

 

[Gsus]

Well this isn't live on tv...

It is but it's not a surprise that canadians may be couple of minutes ahead

Yeah, the breakout seems to really suck. Defenders not making the first pass well enough or quickly enough, while the forwards get up the ice too quick. End result is that CAN's forecheck forces a turnover while they have more players in our zone...

 

[JJTT]

2nd period should be live.

Agreed. Disappointing for sure, too many dumb mistakes this tourney. I'm glad I can get a closer look at Pulju again.

 

[snipes]

2nd period underway.

 

[snipes]

Nice hit by Stanley!

 

[Gsus]

Pulujivari needs to get the puck at full speed. Just a simple pass to him in the D-zone and few seconds later you have a dangerous scoring chance.

 

[snipes]

What a save!

Not many fans attending this game. If I still lived in the Kootenays i'd have been there.

What about the US games have they had full attendance?

Finns have been very much much finns when it's time to score, three post shots already.

 

[snipes]

Puck bouncing around a lot of out there.

They got around 4,100 against Russia

Fitzpatrick has been great.

Fitzpatrick has been great.

Indeed, not much wrong with his game.

Grand Forks, North Dakota, not British Columbia.

 

[leaflover]

Oh come on Owen. No need to throw them a lifeline.

 

[snipes]

2-0 Canada after the 2nd.

 

[Gsus]

Few good chances but found only post and Fitzpatrick.

 

[leaflover]

Grand Forks, North Dakota, not British Columbia.

LMAO

Thank you, but I'm a well travelled individual.

 

[JJTT]

Fitzpatrick was outstanding. Absolutely robbed Somppi and Tolvanen.

You're right! He's not even in my top ten anymore. He's hockey IQ seems realy low.

 

[snipes]

Bitten has looked really good.
