Granlund's line created a few nice scoring chances. Finland could have done 3-4 more goals. Defense was just terrible and Gibson looked Pejorative Slured.

What are you talking about? He was the only one who managed to do anything out there for Finland... He could've shot a few times instead of passing, but I don't see how you could call that a "non-effort game".

Well nothing written but in past tournaments it's been said on telecasts from GORDO. Expectation is Gold not a opening night win against Finland.

Well pretty good game for Canada. Huberdeau looked quite good, which is great for Canada. Strome also looked good, even before he scored, which is important as he looks like one of the more creative forwards. The whole defence looked quite strong, with Harrington in particular impressing me. I hope he continues to prove the naysayers (myself included) wrong. Still not confident in Visentin.

Yah my bad what this legend said lol. But they should have been told this. I was just so surprised , first time a Canadian team sings the anthem unless after a tournament win.
There's something wrong with the system, right from the get-go Finland looked super shaky, dmen looked really lost out there, and Canada rolled over us with super high intensity. It looks like they didn't really have a plan. They shouldn't look this shaky, Helminen should be able to pump them up so that their self esteem is high, not low like it was.
Painters gonna paint!
Granlund was leading this brave team from front, but today it wasnt quite enough.
Maybe I'm just a little disappointed I bothered to watch the game. Never like the blow-outs. Even though I said earlier that Stone might be top-10 in the tournament scoring and it was nice to see Canada's good game. But still towards the end Granlund started to loose his effort. In the third he was invisible.
in all honesty HOPE is all you got
You shouldn't get stuck in one game too much, do you really think Finland is that bad in general. Finland is not Latvia or Denmark level team, this was just a bad game where nothing worked and **** like this happens, like Bruins beating Cats 8-0 not too long ago.
We still have potential in this team, USA game will be much better from us just watch.

Only saw Harrington play once before....
It was at the Ivan Hlinka final before last season. I didn't know any of the players beyond RNH, I noted all the players based on # and not by name....Harrington was the second most impressive Dman behind Doug Hamilton and I liked his game very closely with Siemens'.
As soon as Harrington had a check in his own end, the puck was won back and outletted. Just so clean defensively in the only game I ever watched him in, and very much what I've seen from him so far.
Not an upside guy, but will be a quality NHLer.

I'm not sure what this pouskin74 fellow's business is, he seems to be hurt that we think Granlund is better than whoever and now he comes here acting all smug, I suppose it makes him feel better.

I actually think singing the nathional anthem is probably encouraged. It's something we all should do whenever possible, including players on the ice. I think you're off-base on this one.
you are not right about me my friend. actually i came here to support you and i am honest

Peter Loubardias with his game takes, mostly based around Mark Stone's prowess today.

He has previously gushed over Stone as well: http://futureconsiderations.ca/stone-ready-for-the-international-stage/

why? It's normal to be upset if we get outclassed 1-8, we are not used to that.
I just wait when i can laugh to Russia when you brutally lose to Sweden and possible to Canada if you face them.

I think they've been okay. I'd be upset and looking for some answers, too. They are a better team than what they showed today. Tough to open the tourney against a home team with a lot to prove, though.
