GDT: Jan. 4 • Semifinal • Canada vs. Finland • II

[Machinehead]

lol @ people saying this game is over. It's the world juniors. The insane is the norm in this tournament.

 

[BiggestLeafsFanEVER*]

Still not rattled. If they're still down 2 at the 1:30 mark I'll get worried a bit.

 

[Craig MacAtaracts]

Oh well, at least a Sweden-Finland final should be interesting.

 

[Luic]

canada is frustrated and not playing as a team.

 

[Brock Boeser]

These kids are losing every ounce of composure they've got

 

[David McConnor]

Canada needs Finland to give them a gift. These players aren't competent enough to get it done on their own.

 

[FriedEgg]

This game shows why NHL should never go to international ice. No offense. Trap all day.

 

[Jussi]

European countries have had kids playing against adults for 20 years and Canada won gold the majority of the time. You're over thinking the fact that this Canadian team is just awful.

Team Finland hasn't had coach as good as the current one in years.

 

[Dirty but Good]

Did I just hear shots are 2-2 this period??

 

[RobertR]

Yeyy, Bronze medal game will be so entertaining. Canada vs Russia always is.

 

[2XPRO31]

This has been a horrible period of hockey.. 4 shots?

 

[George Maharis]

It sucks to see Canada being eliminated, but I didn't expect us to even make it this far. My pick to win it is always Sweden. Mainly because I think they play the most entertaining style of hockey.

I said it the other day, Finland has a very talented team and is underrated. Assuming nothing changes in the next 5 minutes, I'm cheering for you against Sweden. About time you get a gold medal.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Never mind the final, its a sure loss to Sweden for any team making it!

I don't know about that Finland looks good.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Trap hockey has really slowed this game now. Very frustrating to watch as a Canadian.

We knew that eventually the slow starts would come back to bite Canada, and now our worst fears have happened.

 

[BananaSquad]

This group of kids is a damn shame on the country.

Wow! Ure probably one of those hockey parents that yell at their kids from the stands. #shutup

 

[JC Numminen]

Nananana nananana Hey hey hey, goodbye!

Because you faired mucccchh better against us

 

[Chairman Mallard]

Darryl Sutter just doesn't get it. He lucked into the best WJC team of all time in 2005 ever, and now with slightly inferior players he just doesn't get it. We just need to score here. Put all your effort into scoring 2 goals against Finland in the next 6 minutes, and don't allow any goals. Then we'lll be fine IMO.

You're such a duster. Get out of here.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Why does Leier keep on getting opportunities on the best lines? He's done absolutely nothing to deserve it.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Outcoached period. All perimeter shots this game.

 

[LeafsMonster]

We need a jordan eberle.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

3 shots by Canada this period.

 

[enuck]

This group of kids is a damn shame on the country.

Oh come on, they're just kids still, nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Jacob8hockey*]

So can the players we have. They're just not executing. Domi not being here isn't the problem.

Except Domi is an upgrade over all but 4 players on this roster

 

[New User Name]

I doubt it since our WJ team didn't beat this Team Canada.

Your under 17 team would beat your under 20 team this year. One of the most dominating teams I have ever seen.
