Why do they use water bottles in the penalty box? Why not gatorade bottles or similar?!

 

[Make]

Refs screwed up there. Should have been at least 2+2 for Grabo and not Stas.

 

[Jere26]

Go home JJ

 

[Juzmo]

Nice, they manage to screw up an empty netter.

 

[Finnpin]

European reffing is in sad state.

 

[Jere26]

shutout

 

[Juzmo]

A convincing 1-0 win.

 

[Stanleyjub]

Win! And that's what's important! Keep winning and we win the tournament

 

[mattihp]

European reffing is in sad state.

No, mostly the same country that delivers some of the worst football referees in the world.

 

[Make]

At least we got the win. One great period, one decent period and one bad period. Koval was the name of the game. Three points is three points.

 

[ozo]

That offside sums up this period.

 

[mattihp]

Win! And that's what's important! Keep winning and we win the tournament

Yep. It's not the Finland we are used to seeing that goes lights out from the get go and is all finished in the finals.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Go home JJ

JJ shouldn't have been in the team at all. Time to call Petrell..

 

[ozo]

No, mostly the same country that delivers some of the worst football referees in the world.

AFAIK they are equally **** in Czech Republic and Russia too.

 

[Mara]

Saves 21 Lehtonen, 37 Koval. Finland wins 1-0. Belarus played really well after the first period.

 

[FinRuutu]

Finland was good about 20 minutes...

Koval played lights out...

 

[QnebO]

Good first peroid. Saved the goals for more important games. Jokinen out of the roster, Kiiskinen to 1st line if Jalonen is tough enough.

 

[Matti_A]

JJ is and enigma, I think I can finally forgive team Finland management for leaving him out of the 2010 Olympic team, seems they made a wise decision after all.

Vitali Kovol, shades of Mezin...

 

[htpwn]

Good result for Belarus. Its something that can be built on.

 

[Tissotti]

JJ shouldn't have been in the team at all. Time to call Petrell..

That was just unbeliavable, in a bad way. Flip and Koivu can't be wasted with that guy.

 

[vsk92]

a winning start but things need improving

roll on sundays match

 

[edd1e]

Kiiskinen to the first line!

 

[Systemfel]

Why do they use water bottles in the penalty box? Why not gatorade bottles or similar?!

Usage of Gatorade gives you prison time in Europe.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

Usage of Gatorade gives you prison time in Europe.

I know, Finnish law is just sad.
