I am holding my breath for Finland NOT to score

It's weird, but also somehow pleasant

Have a bet going or something? I've seen your posts, but didnt see why

 

[Qurpiz]

[SoupyFIN]

Congratz Qurpiz (and Finland)

Congrats.

Ok game over but if I understood the Finns right they prefer Pihlström and Pyörölä in the team instead of Kiiskinen and Tuppurainen right?

C'mon, give us a number.

Good game by Finland. Loved Järvinen, as with games before. Getting better every game.

I'd say yes. Didn't see much of Tuppurainen, although Kiiskinen was OK.

Alright, the score of next game pls.

Fin-can 5-3

I'd say yes. This was probably just giving Tuppurainen and Kiiskinen a chance to get a feel for the game so that in case of injuries they'll be ready to hop in. Tuppurainen did create one goal for Kapanen but tbh France isn't the best possible measurement to see how they handle themselves in WHC.

Yes, that's the problem if you test new players against weaker teams like France.

I had 6-0, 7-0 and 6-1 in Tulosveto. FML.

You should have listened to the all mighty Qurpiz.

 

[brtriad]

Huet is even a backup on team France.

 

[FiLe]

Huet is even a backup on team France.

Nah, he's the starter very much. Just plays in games France actually has a chance of winning.

 

[Puhis]

I'd say FIN 2 - 4 CAN

We'll take the necessary loss now. However, if Finland wins, it's going to be 3 - 1.

Yes, I think you got to lose one if you want to win. The team has now 11 wins in a row and if it has to lose, its probably today, but it can be against USA @ sunday too.

Yeah, better earlier than later... But I think it will be a close game - if Lehtonen is up to his usual form Canada will have difficulties in scoring even if they can pressure the slow starts of the famous Our Game (registered trademark) and at times shaky defence. And we will certainly have flashes of brilliance in attack on big ice with Cam Ward being not that hot up to now.
