GDT: Group H • May 11 • Finland 3, Canada 5

[Fehr Time*]

Should be a good tune up game for Finland heading into the first place showdown with USA. I will say 5-0 Finland.

 

[JYP88*]

Wow!
There's a Maritimes in Finland?

 

[Eidyia]

Interesting to see what Granlund can do againt a North American team. He has been decent so far but surely hasn't been firing on all cylinders.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Mikael Granlund vs Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

Hopefully the rest of team Finland puts a good effort because if it comes down to this matchup, it will be a blow out for Canada.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Nah, granlund gets under hes skin by simply saying "Chicken Nuget" and thats W for us.

One of keys for Canada is will Gets love show up today

He could also give some tips to Getzlaf about Sara Sieppi.

I choose to be optimistic about the outcome of today's game.

Burrows in tonight.

6-3 for Canada. Puck possession 65-35 for Canada. Shots 36-22 for Canada.

Bet on it.

 

[Mestaruus]

I hope we don't get a disaster start in the first minutes of the game like we usually do against North-American teams.

A Finn, I guess? Counting the NHL players on each team, just like the USA and Boratkiztan today? It might not go like that, finally.

If Finland wins there won't be any first place showdown with the USA, they will virtually clinch first place

Gandalf is with Finland in this one.

Yeah? Pretty much the only recent Canada game that I can recall is the Turin match (and how did that go?) - we haven't met actually so often lately, and I'm not that sure that they are much worse than any top 4 team in these tournaments.

I'm anxiously waiting at work, surrounded by my Canadian co-workers in Canada...

I need these bragging rights, let's go Leijonat!

Go Finland! Team hockey always wins!

See you in the finals. First Hartwall then Globen next time.

Finland - Kanada 2-1 (Mikko + Kari + Team)

Because it's hockey. This in afternoon here, and then some NHL action in the evening.

Now that I've answered yours, answer mine. Why is Finland hosting this tournament with a management team that's messing everything up?

For the lulz of course, is there any other reason to do anything in life?

You give us too much credit. We fight with plastic forks and knives.

Not always. We've had some very unfortunate final losses where Finland played the better team game but the game ended on a great shot. Sometimes quality finishing just beats better team effort.

Dany Heatley's shot from the blue line in one world championships, Olympic final in Torino...

**** does happen, especially to Finland.
