4th line changes..

http://www.iltasanomat.fi/mmkiekko/...en-ja-kiiskinen-kehiin/art-1288467938815.html

Jani Tuppurainen and Tuomas Kiiskinen to 4th line instead of Pyörälä and Pihlström.

So Pyörälä and Pihlström are healthy scratches to give some ice-time to two other guys in case of injuries etc.

 

[Lapa]

Excited to see Kiiskinen in the lineup

6-1 Finland.

 

[Zamuz]

I sure hope Kiiskinen can play on his best level

8-2 finland

 

[BalticWarrior]

I sure hope Kiiskinen can play on his best level

8-2 finland

Careful,you`ll jinx it

 

[MMANumminen]

Other change in FIN line-up is that Salmela/Niskala will play with Kapanen's line and Väänänen/Järvinen with Immonen's line.

I really like this Väänänen-Järvinen pair. Both are big, hit really hard and play defense first and make few mistakes. A bit like Kukkonen-Jaakola but more mean

Today's score might be ugly

 

[JYP88*]

There is a rumor that French defender Yohann Auvitu #18 uses moped car for his movement needs and some Finnish players are laughing at him. Is this going to affect tonight in this game?

 

[FiLe]

Is this going to affect tonight in this game?

I'd imagine that's going to make all the bodychecks aimed at him a LOT harder, except perhaps for Väänänen and Järvinen.

Going to be damn hard to move, too, if he parks in front of the net.

 

[gib]

0-2 France. Goals by Auvitu and Bertrand.

 

[JYP88*]

0-2 France. Goals by Auvitu and Bertrand.

This would be epic!.... some words acording AuVitu's mopedCar. Its diesel so it might cause some damage Jani Tuppurainen's lungs..

Also Sokos-Hotel is running low of baguettes so French are going to frantic tonight

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Auvito and Betrand are interesting names for us finns. Auvitu has two points already in this tournament.

 

[tikkanen5rings*]

France

[KaraLupin]

Is it realistic that this game will reach 6 goals scored?

 

[JabbaJabba]

More like this:

VS

Fixed.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Finland

Don't you mean Etelä-Pohjanmaa.

 

[Mara]

3-1 Finland after a painfully slow and boring game.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

France can sure score goals, they managed to score twice against both USA and Canada, not to mention 6 against Kazakstan.

Finland will have 4 games in 5 days which means it is questionable with what kind of attitude Finland will start the game against the French.

 

[Juzmo]

Expecting something like a 4/3 - 1/0 win.

 

[NicolasH]

I just hope we don't get scored on 7 times again.

 

[SPMaximus]

Jussi "Pillow" Jokinen still on the first line i see

 

[Lapa]

There will be a quiet moment before the game honoring the memory of Pekka Marjamäki

Hoping we can score like in the Switzerland game.

 

[Lapa]

Apparently Lehtonen is resting. So starting goalie is Vehanen, Rämö as backup.
