GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 15 • Group A: FIN(5) - SVK (2) F

How was Slovakia in PP so far in the tournament?

I don't know about previous but the 2nd today was ok. Lacks quality in finishing thought

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Tolvanen needs better linemen with him to be great, swap Heponiemi to play with Eeli perhaps?

It's weird they haven't been together at all

 

[King Weber]

would have been a pretty goal for Ruzicka there

 

[FinPanda]

This team has 0 offence.

 

[rduck1]

Seems like our team is in dire need of some passing drills. Constantly misplacing passes and fumbling receptions.

 

[tobu]

Slovakia has seemed to be the more offensive team in the period. The PPs have helped the impression though.

 

[Wooren]

Slovaks are playing well.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Kuokkanen is useless.

 

[FinPanda]

Wish our forwards could do something. Everything comes from the D.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Ruzicka looking much better today than in the last two games.

 

[JJTT]

Move Kuokkanen to wing, just useless at center.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

This Team Finland's offence is horrible.
Our players puck skills are above average.

I hate to say this but it's not a secret
Our tournament is over next Tuesday

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Move Kuokkanen to wing, just useless at center.

You're right but Ahokas looks too stubborn to realize that.

 

[Opak]

Move Kuokkanen to wing, just useless at center.

I think he's just useless, period. Way too slow, soft and disinterested to get anything done. He just floats in there.

 

[Finnswiss]

So the Finns survived 2 PP how was the first period? Slovakia better or both teams about equal?

Slovakia had good chances, but overall Finland was in charge. That doesn't help much since our scoring relied top 2 lines are dreadful atm.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Was a pretty even period overall imo.

 

[MackAttack26]

It's not like Finland is void of offensive talent up front.

Tolvanen, Heponiemi, Kuokkanen, Rasanen, Ikonen, Vesalainen, etc. They have talent...they just need to step it up.

 

[agent082]

This always happens when finns think they are a better team.

 

[FinPanda]

Our tournament is over after QF.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

On a positive note: Luukkonen is looking good. I have so much more trust on him than I had in Vehviläinen.

 

[Lempo]

wait, they just said in the Sweden/Swiss game that the Finland dressing room is over in the other building, and showed Luukonen on an escalator in his gear. They don't go back and forth to the other building during every intermission do they? Just before and after the games?

We got the same insert now in our broadcast, Luukkonen was walking to the practice ice. It may be that the dressing room is in same building as the main rink.

 

[Finnswiss]

Our tournament is over after QF.

Don't give up hope, sometimes the Finns surprise all when nobody excepts it from them.

 

[LoveNHL]

Tolvanen looks pretty bad with a lot of givaways.

 

[Finnswiss]

Finns play PP. Is it better than in the previous games or still not efficient?
