Finland 7 - South Korea 1

 

[RageQuit77]

Test of right attitude for Finns. I expect difficult game, where Finns grind and struggle first 2 periods without much results, but in 3rd period they'll finally outskate and outscore Team Korea for a win.

Finns will spend more time in a penalty box than Korean players.

 

[jaro]

I predict 5:0

 

[Ainec]

go easy on korea

they just achieved peace

19-1 South Korea

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

7-0 FIN

 

[QnebO]

I think in their home Olympics they somehow got the gods of Asia on their side, and Marjamäki was over coaching Finnish team, and all, so the score wasnt that big, but now I think theyre going to just get crushed. I just hope that no injuries will occur, I think this might become one game where you dont really want to hit opponent or hurt them, just to avoid their paybacks you know just get it done somehow and move on.

8-0

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

i'm a bit surprised to see Kapanen on the top line, but I definitely won't complain. hope he does well

 

[Gsus]

Great to see Kapanen get a chance in the TOP 6. Definitely a TOP 6 talent on the NHL as well. Heiskanen also in the first pair.

7-0 Finland.

Defensemen:
4 Tommi Kivistö - 6 Julius Honka
50 Juuso Riikola - 2 Ville Pokka
77 Markus Nutivaara - 55 Miika Koivisto

The Dmen are actually at:

Heiskanen - Pokka
Koivisto - Nutivaara
Kivistö - Honka

 

[Urbanskog]

6:1

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Heiskanen will not play on powerplay. I'm already f***ing pissed at Marjamäki and they haven't even started playing. Stupid monkey. Glad he's gone soon.

 

[Gsus]

Heiskanen will not play on powerplay. I'm already ****ing pissed at Marjamäki and they haven't even started playing. Stupid monkey. Glad he's gone soon.

Is that confirmed?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Is that confirmed?

Lauri Marjamäki ei vielä päästä Leijonien tähteä ylivoimaan: ”Mennään niillä, millä ollaan harjoiteltu”

 

[FiLe]

Confirmed FIN lineup.

Säteri (Husso)

Heiskanen - Pokka
Nutivaara - Koivisto
Kivistö - Honka
Riikola

Rantanen - Granlund - Kapanen
Savinainen - Aho - Teräväinen
Manninen - Suomela - Jormakka
Mäenalanen - Pesonen - Anttila

 

[BennsGonnaGetYou]

I think Rantanen gets a hattrick and we'll outscore them 6-0. PP will be fun and interesting to watch, although I'm also disappointed that Heiskanen won't get a spot.

 

[FiLe]

Heiskanen will not play on powerplay. I'm already ****ing pissed at Marjamäki and they haven't even started playing. Stupid monkey. Glad he's gone soon.

The reason for this is that it was uncertain at first if he is healthy enough to play. And because of this, he has not been part of the PP units in any of the practice sessions.

 

[sytheman]

The score will be depended on how Matt Dalton performs. If he is 100% it will be something like 3-0 or 3-1.

If not, don't be surprised it will be 8-0 or even uglier.

 

[illone84]

The Finnish PP is going to rip Korea apart. 7-2 win for Finland.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

The reason for this is that it was uncertain at first if he is healthy enough to play. And because of this, he has not been part of the PP units in any of the practice sessions.

I don't care. PP isn't that complicated, Heiskanen has been in Marjamäki's teams before and he's not a donkey. Excuses after excuses. He already didn't know how to utilize him in the Olympics.

 

[FiLe]

I don't care.

Then I must say it's a good thing that Marjamäki probably doesn't care that you don't care.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Then I must say it's a good thing that Marjamäki probably doesn't care that you don't care.

I'm glad someone still has the willpower to defend him.

 

[FiLe]

I'm glad someone still has the willpower to defend him.

It's not particularly hard even, since he has so far zero botched games with this lineup.

So I'm glad somebody apparently possesses the gift of foresight, I guess?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

It's not particularly hard even, since he has so far zero botched games with this lineup.

Played zero with this lineup too. I wouldn't put too much weight into EHT. Come back home with a medal or go down as one of the most terrible Team Finland coaches in recent history.

 

[FiLe]

Played zero with this lineup too.

Exactly. So why are you railing against him? Can you see to the future?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Exactly. So why are you railing against him? Can you see to the future?

Because of the reasons i already typed out for you?
