GDT: Group B • Dec. 30 • Finland 10, Denmark 1

[FiLe]

if finland comes 2nd in the group, who do we face in the next round?

Switzerland, most likely.

EDIT: After what we saw today, shouldn't say it like that though.

 

[Canada4Gold]

winner of Slovakia/Swiss tomorrow, they'd be 3rd in the other pool

 

[RKC]

The third place team in the other group.

Switzerland? Haven't been paying attention to the other group.

 

[SPMaximus]

and if Finland place third we are probably ****ed... (because we face Sweden or Russia in the QF)

 

[QnebO]

Switzerland? Haven't been paying attention to the other group.

Cant be that happy if its the siwss. Sweden had hard time with em, they got great goaltending and it must be pretty tough team to go to shootout with em

 

[Panopticon]

not sure why all fins are so excited for them to pad some easy points against the worst team in the tournament. And they got them when denmark stopped playing in the 3rd.

Because that was the whole point of this game? Getting our first line clicking and scoring, especially Pulkkinen who couldn't buy a goal earlier. It's important that they got some personal success here, with any luck it will carry on to the Czech game.

I would love to. But making it a point to have the refs review it (when they had to anyways) is not proper sportsmanship.

What's the problem, really? The guys didn't even celebrate the goals, unlike Canada when they thrashed the Finns. So he wanted to know if he got a fifth goal, so what? He was just asking a question, not arranging a sit-in protest until they check it.

 

[QnebO]

Would anything make us win the group? We corrected the goal difference for so far now.

 

[Finnish Flash 76]

Good to see our first line making some points, good for their confidence. Pulu´s " fifth goal " was ridiculous but also awesome. Going to be an awesome game against Czechs this evening!

 

[Needles]

Pulkkinen redeemed himself nicely tonight. With better luck he would have scored couple more, easily. And now it's time for the Granlund Bros to start scoring. And when they do, we're solid.

Still something bothers me about Armia, he just needs to be more dynamic out there. And he really needs to shoot more when he's 4-5m away from the net. His wrister is much better than Pulkkinen's, but Armia tries to dangle or make one extra pass.

 

[Basement Cat]

Well yeah.. maybe your're right after all. So just hate him aguess

No hate

 

[Hagged]

You'd be more happy with Sweden or Russia than the Swiss? Then Finland can pull off a "Sweden" and lose on purpose to czechs to face either one!

 

[Hagged]

No. In the event of Canada losing to USA and Finland winning the czechs Canada will win because the tie braker is the game between CAN-FIN which was already played and lost, can't remember the final score though.

 

[QnebO]

can't remember the final score though.

Me neither, must have been a thight game

 

[Canada4Gold]

no, goal differential doesn't come into play in a 2 way tie, which is the best you can do if canada loses, and you win tomorrow. We'd have you on the head to head match

 

[QnebO]

Denmark can win 1-0 or Finland can win 10-1. It's all about how good motivation Finland has and how much Finland underestimates the danes. I hope Finland does not think about the Czech game too much.

The Stamp will propably score at least one and pass a few. Armia, Pulkkinen, Salomäki will all get points, that's my bet.

Nice betting by El Hefe

 

[Juzmo]

Me neither, must have been a thight game

Must have been, I remember that we didn't even switch goalies.

 

[Christien]

Could someone post video highlights for this game, please?

Danish suspensions

Hey everyone,

Here's the full story on the suspension of the Danish players. It was the coach's decision. Managed to track down Jonas Sass during the game and get his thoughts as well.

My favourite quotes:
“We’re here to play hockey and represent Denmark. Danish hockey has come a long way,â€

“Were not here to be laughed at,†Larsen said, just before Finland thumped Denmark 10-1 on Friday evening.

Then there is this:

Brian Sass-Jensen, Jonas’s father, sat among the other Danish players’ families in the stands with his hands pressed together on Friday, quietly studying the Danish team on the ice that was playing without his son.

“I’d prefer not to comment and the reason I say this is because (Denmark) is still in the tournament,†he said. “But I will say this: I know (Jonas) is sorry. I know he didn’t know the cameras were running. I know he wishes he hadn’t done it.â€


My thoughts: The Danish coach is a nazi who should burn in hell.

Thank you.

what did he do?

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Is there anywhere to see all of the goals? Its boring finding news reports where firsts it's 1-0, then they show the 8-1 goal and then they cut to an interview..

The danish coaching and management is now officially the laughingstock of this tournament. Jesus what a clown.

And it is not sportmanship not to dress best possible team either. What a moron.
