Wow Urama timeout when Sweden leads 8-0

 

[kp61c]

Cant really blame Kalervo Kummola for that fact, sadly.

who is that?

 

[FinPanda]

Fire Urama please. He has not done anything good for our U18 team..

 

[QnebO]

Wow Urama timeout when Sweden leads 8-0

Hahahaha

He also changed goalie @ 5-0. Goalies save % was 58.


And how the team played indicated exactly coaching problems. They were sleeping.

 

[QnebO]

who is that?

He is for Finnish Ice hockey federation the same as Vladimir Putin is for Russian goverment.

Also vice president of IIHF.

Wow Urama timeout when Sweden leads 8-0

Probably strategy for when to pull the goalie.

Seriously though, seems like one of the biggest Team Finland meltdowns in recent history. Oh dear. And the tournament a personal nightmare for Kapanen, I'd imagine.

SVT already decided to show the final if Sweden plays in it.. So yup, the games are there to buy, just no one doing it.

Czech TV wanted to show Czech quarterfinal match against Russia today, but according to them Finnish broadcaster didn't make signal for this match.

Czech semifinal match should be in TV.

 

[JFG]

Who faces who in the semis?

 

[Jussi]

who is that?

Head of Finnish hockey federation, vice secretary at IIHF. Nothing in Finnish hockey happens without his approval. He's the one who set the high ticket prices at the last two Worlds and only approved Jokerit moving to KHL because he benefited financially from it (through his various businesses involved with Hartwall Arena).

Hard to believe since it's not as expensive to do it when cameras ect are in place already. I bet the Czech tv wouldn't pay for it.

 

[YARR123]

lolz you kids suck. And Urama you suck as well.

 

[JFG]

Going for double digits!

Yup. The guy who stopped Blues going KHL, then year after allowed Jokerit to go there, which is much more important team for FEL with their Arena and hifk rivalry. He is last real (big scale) dictator in Finland.

What's the score? This board deserves score update when it reaches 10.

 

[FinPanda]

10-0

 

[VictorLustig]

Going for double digits!

There we go.

 

[JFG]

And there you have it.

Unbelievable. Sack him in the morning

I think it's broadcasting itself that's expensive plus the production. Plus we all know how cheap MTV3 are these days, when they're not doing too well financially.

 

[Isola]

Kaapo Kähkönen is so overrated. He has been bad all tournament. He always plays poorly in the important games in the Finnish junior league too.

 

[JFG]

Historical point from Nylander.

Most points in a single U18 WC tournament and most accumulated points in U18WC (by a swede).

 

[Jussi]

Yup. The guy who stopped Blues going KHL, then year after allowed Jokerit to go there, which is much more important team for FEL with their Arena and hifk rivalry. He is last real (big scale) dictator in Finland.

Well he isn't called the Iron Chancellor for nothing.

 

[joe89]

So did they decide to play Nylander again or was him being rested exaggerated?

 

[QnebO]

Loppuu se Leijuminen Kapaseltakin ja alkaa treeni.
