[Finnpin]

Very interesting and tight game coming up. Just hoping headcoach Jalonen have moved Jokinen out from the 1st line.

 

[SoupyFIN]

1-0 Finland.

One of the three JJ's scores.

 

[BalticWarrior]

1-0 Finland.

One of the three JJ's scores.

the 1-0 could go either way actually,should be a close game

 

[Finnpin]

the 1-0 could go either way actually,should be a close game

Nah Hawaii hockey ftw 10-10

 

[ElTailR]

Score : 2-1
But i don't know who'll win, hope Switzerland.. We can trust Berra for an excellent game

Edit : Berra will be the starting goalie as Simpson said and the 2nd and 3rd line can change.
The two possibilities for the 2nd line : Monnet-Romy-Brunner and Ruthemann-Romy-Brunner
and the 3rd line could be : Bieber-Liniger-Hollenstein, Monnet-Bieber-Hollenstein or Ruthemann-Bieber-Hollenstein
We still don't know who from Monnet or Liniger will play

Monnet was registered, so I put him in.

My bad, you're right i didn't check it recently but Monnet is registered so the only thing we don't know is who will play on 2nd and 3rd line (Monnet-Ruthemann)

 

[croAVSfan*]

I hope for Swiss 2:1 win

Any news on Josi joining Swiss team ?

Not yet, depends on the Preds, Simpson said that Josi could say yes but the Preds have to be okay

 

[Juzmo]

Hawaii hockey all the way.

Finland wins 2-0.

 

[WeberStreit]

Excited for this game! Too bad our best player is out for 6 months (Moser).
3-1 Finnland.

 

[Ville82]

Finland lose 1-3

 

[Lapa]

3-1 Finland.

 

[Finntelligent]

This time it'ill be fireworks: 3-1!

 

[mindfly]

Will Rinne join the team?

 

[Lapa]

Will Rinne join the team?

No. We already have 3 goalies.

 

[BusQuets]

Will Rinne join the team?

No need to come.

 

[Ville82]

Will Rinne join the team?

Nah. We have allready 3 excellent goalie. Any of them could be our number 1 and i wouldnt be worried about our goalie situation.

 

[FiLe]

Will Rinne join the team?

Since we have no use for him, I've heard that Kummola has ordered Kurri to call the Swedes and ask if they'd like to rent him. The price will be only $16,900,000 a game (+compensations to the player), which is a very reasonable rate for a NHL goalie, they say.

Excited for this game! Too bad our best player is out for 6 months (Moser).
3-1 Finnland.

Our best player is Streit and imo, our best forward is Brunner.

 

[mattihp]

1-0 Finland. Jussi Jokinen pokes in a rebound on a heavy slapper from Komarov (mixed guys out after a PP in which neither got a chance).

I see what you did there

 

[mindfly]

No need to come.

Rinne is, hands down, finland's best goalie, so why keep him out...was a mistake to already have 3 goalies and no door open.

 

[Lapa]

Yeah, because we are desperate to have a better goaltending.
