World Cup: Aug 30 GDT - Czech Republic vs. Finland (0-4)

[mikkoz]

2-0 Zakyy

 

[broman]

2-0 Koivu after just 30 secs. Lehtinen half steals the puck from a fumbling Malik behind the net. Koivu grabs it and buries a wraparound between Vokoun's legs.

 

[broman]

Selanne is still in the locker room. The word is they are still working on his skates. Hentunen's taken his place in the Koivu line.

Incredible. Berg wins the puck in the left boards.

Holy crap, Mikko Koivu is awesome.

Swedish Hockey Federation has one at http://stats.swehockey.se. It's in english too.

 

[Moskau]

Why does Tuomu idiolize Jarkko? That's like Wayne Gretzky idolizing a turd.

 

[2112]

Puck Poise with a penalty.

 

[Shane]

Skoula in the box for holding.

 

[broman]

Yet another Czech penalty after Hagman falls on his a** from a slightest nudge. Oh well, they all count.

 

[Muddy Wilbury]

There's one at the Finnish Ice Hockey Federation's site. Click here.
Click tilastot and it brings a pop up. There is a box score. It's in finnish though.

GREAT JOB...THANKS!!!

Kapanen 3-0

 

[think-blue-]

3-0 Fins (PP)...Salo or Kapanen.

 

[Shane]

Slammin' Sami Salo blasts a rocket from the point. Niko Kapanen appears to have tipped it in.

3-0 Finland.

 

[Padawan]

This one's over. Niko Kapanen with a PP goal. Assisted by Sami Salo.

 

[broman]

Vokoun gloves a Selanne wrist shot. After restart, Salo beats Vokoun from the blue line with Jokinen setting up the screen. Niko Kapanen might have got a touch in that. 3-0 Finland. Czech defence is completely toothless in front of Vokoun's office.

 

[Shane]

Goal officially credited to Salo, though I suspect that will change.

...another thanks!

 

[Moskau]

Czechs will be lucky to win a game in this tournament. With the NHL ice size they are all but a useless team. Sans 1 or 2 players they don't hit, they can't take hits (Saku Koivu has dropped about 6 guys much bigger than him with ease).

Hell, I'd take Germany over them.

 

[broman]

Selanne is back on ice. Koivu's line is running a circus in the Czech end.

 

[hockeyfan125]

Malik is looking awful

 

[Shane]

1-0 Jukka Hentunen (Niko Kapanen, Teppo Numminen)
2-0 Saku Koivu (Jere Lehtinen)
3-0 Niko Kapanen (Sami Salo, Ville Peltonen)

what a goal....

 

[mikkoz]

Eloranta 4-0

 

[Shane]

4-0 Finland.

Mikko Eloranta with the goal.

 

[broman]

A deft move by Vasicek creates a half-chance for CZE but Kipper moves quickly across to cover the shot.

4-0 Finland. Timonen fires in a slapshot. Vokoun can't hold it, the rebound comes to Eloranta who has an open goal. With no Czech defender in sight, naturallement.
