GDT: Group B - May 15 - Finland vs USA

[mosare]

Yes, silver medal when the whc was held in Helsinki/Turku. I don't remember the year, it was quite a long time ago.
The scouts from USA/Canada brought Josi after this championship in the NHL and if I remember correctly also Niederreiter the teammate of Granlund in the NHL.

That's not correct! Josi play with Nashville since 2010. The swiss won the silver medal on 2013, 5 years ago. I think switzerland-finland will be a very close game. Swiss has maybe the best team they ever had, with Fiala,Josi, Niederreiter, Meier, Andrighetto, Mueller and so on. All of them are at least second line NHLer. Maybe the goaltender could be better on the swiss side.

About time Aho got a hattrick. He has been worth it a couple of times already. Such an awesome player.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

@teravaineSAROS and @GeorgeLeafer12 what was your opinion about Säteri again?

I said "I hope I'm wrong"

Will be a one goal game. SUI is the clear favorite here . Let the games begin!

Yeah sure but you still were skeptical.

Ok thnks for the correction. I had always in mind Switzerland won the silver medal in a championship held in Finland. Concerning the game I think you are right, it could be a very nice and interesting game, no clear favorit in my opinion too.

I'm completely ok with being proven wrong haha

 

[Mestaruus]

canada would beat russia but sweden would beat canada.

Don't know if Canada could with those goalies.

Sweden is gold favorite in my opinion so yes I agree.

Nino is a stud.

 

[BL92]

Sweden is definitely the scariest opponent; stacked team and great goaltending.

 

[Mestaruus]

The +/- of Kane compared to Aho... Pretty funny.

 

[ElLeetch]

kinda shitty with this points system. The team that won 6 times in this tournament is second to the team that only won 5 games.

 

[Finnswiss]

The +/- of Kane compared to Aho... Pretty funny.

Is Aho the finnish player with the best +/- statistic ever so far?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

US players showed how classy they are. Dirtbags

 

[BL92]

kinda ****ty with this points system. The team that won 6 times in this tournament is second to the team that only won 5 games.

Win the right games

Win the right games. USA lost a point to Latvia.. big point to lose.

Finland would have won 6 or 7 games if the point system were different. They just did minimum they had to. No point to take pointless points.

OJ; ''These Blake Colemans, Brian Gibsons, totally laughable, I would want to go after them myself''

 

[FinPanda]

I read somewhere that Aho has not been on the ice for a single goal against on 5v5? 9+8 and +15, incredible. We have a god in our team.

 

[mattihp]

The +/- of Kane compared to Aho... Pretty funny.

Do Aho and TT kinda look like Ren and Stimpy?

 

[The Great Dame]

Yikes. Brutal performance from Kinkaid, very discouraging going into the elimination games. (Very glad I forgot this game was at 6:15 )That being said, nothing wrong with losing to the Finns in the prelims.

Going into the elimination games this tournament is wide open, between the Swedes, Finns, Canadians, Russians, Czechs, US, and even the Swiss, I could see any team making a run.

He is a PK specialist...

 

[Lepardi]

Elite Prospects - WC Stats All-time season

Hannu Virta in 1994 and Timo Jutila in 1992 ended up with +16.

The +/- of Kane compared to Aho... Pretty funny.

Aho/TT haven't been out for an Even Strength goal against in the tournament. Total domination.

 

[Lempo]

Do Aho and TT kinda look like Ren and Stimpy?

Happy happy, joy joy.
