GDT: Finland vs USA

[mattihp]

Mörkö was close to making it 3-1!

 

[Poiquets]

Turunen was one of Finland's best players on the Czech EHT and has been that in this game aswell. Skilled player with a good work ethic, pleasure to watch.

 

[mattihp]

Kontiola is so slow, but his brain still takes him where he needs to be.

 

[mattihp]

Both teams are a bit lucky with the puck, the puck handling is below the level that is usual for the world champs.

First game.

First game.

I've seen so many first games the last 20 years. This is something special. Probably because of lots less hockey right before the game.

 

[mattihp]

Robertson really likes the front of the net.

 

[McStimperi]

Zac Jones having himself a game. What a stud.

 

[serp]

US worst players are the veterans . Boyle , Abelkader and Co have been completely invisible.

 

[Zub]

Very sloppy defence from the Finns right now.

 

[mattihp]

Love seeing Mörkö on the ice.

Blocked the puck 2 seconds after this post

 

[mattihp]

Good save by Olkinuora.

 

[Zub]

Finnish team is so tired, USA skating by everyone with no problem at all.

Finland is dumping it more, so two players are always tired for chasing. The US team doesn't let Finland change it up as quickly as the team wants.

Big draw here.

Love having Mörkö out there. The americans should have scored four or five goals from their chances close to the net. They have been notoriously bad at putting it in from in close in this game.

 

[Exarz]

Phew

 

[Erikfromfin]

Good game overall. USA was good better than expected but still routine win for Finns.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Olkinuora Finland's best player. Anttila showing good defensive game.

 

[Sens72]

Fun game to watch

 

[Zub]

Olkinuora mvp.

 

[BusQuets]

USA skated better but Finland won with skill.

 

[jj cale]

Well they came close but no cigar and Finland gets the job done.

I think this U.S team has some potential, they could be a real tough out come playdowns.

Olkinuora Finland's best player. Anttila showing good defensive game.

Anttila really is a 100% heart player. Can't skate, can't stick handle... But somehow he has matured into an amazing character guy. Those goals in 2019... ONLY in key moments. He let everyone else score until then!
