GDT: Semi-Final | United States Vs Finland | 9:30 PM ET | NHLN/TSN

[TheMoreYouKnow]

The American team looked really bad at managing the lead there. Left the initiative totally to the Finns who simply outworked the Americans.

 

[King1s]

Haha those yankees are weak.

 

[Stive Morgan]

3-on-3 is so stupid for this tournament

Regular season NHL games? Sure.

Elimination WJC games? Hell no.

 

[Caz]

One more.

 

[John Agar]

Lions...

Yes Lions...

 

[McDrai]

Please go to OT
Please go to OT
Please go to OT

Had his stick on the Finn's stick lifting it - just a better play by the Finn player for the goal

I've seen stronger stick lifts from my 14U players.

 

[FMichael]

These Finns are like a nasty STD - they just don't go away.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Americans self destructing under the tiniest bit of adversity is not good

Finns have been the better team for most of the game

USA needs to attacks. They look like they’re on their heels.

Man...the States really couldn't have come out and played a worse 3rd period.

ITA to all this!

Cam York does not impress me at all. Terrible effort on two goals tonight.

The first goal was not his fault. The centre left his man and he had 2 guys to cover.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

if USA loses i'm looking at the coach for overplaying the f*** out of an ineffective 2nd line

 

[NyQuil]

Haha those yankees are weak.

Welcome to the thread.

 

[John Agar]

Blood in the water for sharks in the 2nd...

Heads of Lions in the carcass in the 3rd...

 

[snipes]

Okay f*** it im going late for work. Lets go little lions!

If your boss is a true Finn they’ll understand

 

[HanSolo]

Uh? That's offside? K

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

US coach is useless. Plays the same 4 lines pretty much the whole tournament. Why do they even need him???

 

[kilowatt]

Brutal play by the Americans the last two periods.

 

[HanSolo]

if USA loses i'm looking at the coach for overplaying the f*** out of an ineffective 2nd line

Or having the team playing prevent defense with a lead.

Maybe he's a great cheerleader

 

[McDrai]

If only Canada didn't have a f***ing world-beater team this year

True. Finland was one of the only teams who had sustained pressure against Canada for multiple shifts though. They would definitely be the toughest matchup for Canada imo

 

[robertocarlos]

You talking that takedown of Fibonacci? Was a fine battle for position and I'm pulling for the Americans.

No not that, I mean in general.

 

[NyQuil]

What a goal!

Wow!

Right line out there.

 

[HanSolo]

Brutal play by the Americans the last two perios.

Yeah they look rattled now.

 

[Rangers79]

For sure USA coaching has been bad. Seems to refuse to change lines or promote good players

 

[joe dirte]

If the finns end up losing it really comes down to that high stick.
