GDT: Group B - May 12 - Canada vs Finland

[Ducks76]

Yes. Grönborg has at least won something and he gets NHL players to come to WHC. Marjamäki has won nothing and his record against big countries is awful.

Why the finnish hockey association don t fire him after olympics?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Where are all the Canadians? about 30 mins until puck drop, nothing but Finns here.

IIRC he's getting fired after this tournament.

 

[MMANumminen]

We never beat Kanada.
Except today.
4-2 Suomi Finland Perkele!

Yes i know that Jalonen is the new coach after WHC. But why the finnish association give away this tournament?

2014 and 2016???

 

[MMANumminen]

So where the hell is Suomela? Oir biggest weakness are the faceoffs and he's the best on them

 

[MMANumminen]

2014 and 2016???

My memory tends to erase after the games. I can only remember 1995 & 2011

 

[mattihp]

2-1 Finland. Teräväinen with all three goals.

Probably something to do with his contract.

No idea.

IIRC he's getting fired after this tournament.

No, he didn't want to continue his contract. He wasn't fired.

 

[theslatcher]

No idea.

No, he didn't want to continue his contract. He wasn't fired.

I see, must have seen finns say he got fired after this years worlds and taken it at face value.

Lol if he would've been fired, it should have been after the olympics. It was just stupid to give him this tournament.

May not have been the easiest thing to do in the logistical sense. J.Jalonen would probably have declined to take over earlier than agreed, given how he still had his previous job. And if they get someone to run this one tournament, they either get some washout and everybody begins to wonder why they couldn't just let Marjamäki run out his contract, or they get someone who does great - and that would have meant the first moment Jalonen stumbles at something (and there will be rough patches, even with him), people would start yelling, "bring X back, he did great!"

Good points, I agree.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

We will win both Canada and eurovision song contest tonight. Let's go nordic boys!

 

[Kaako Kappo]

4-1 Canada and after we lose we'll be called cocky or something.

I sure hope Ol' Beelzebub has stocked up on warm clothing.

 

[BL92]

Just play solid and don't get the shit beaten out of you, that's all I ask. Every game against bigger opponents, especially NA with Marjamäki is always a nightmare.

 

[BL92]

Woo, awesome start. Yay boooooooys

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

We're in for a beating.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Weird penaltu, but I guess so?

 

[jj cale]

We are here, just waiting for the game to begin.

Game on!!

My my, hey hey, ice hockey is here to stay. It's better to win out than to lose away. My my he hey, out of the blue and into the white, they give their all and you thank for that. And once you'r gone you can always come back, when you are out of the blue and into the white, my my, hey hey, Lions Will is here to stay. It's better to win out than lose away. My my, hey hey, out of the blue and into the white (they giver their all and you thank for that).
