Euro Hockey Tour: 2012 Kajotbet Hockey Games

[Eye of Ra]

I hate playing Sweden

Why?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Can't wait to get rid of the utterly hopeless guys on the team like Ahnelov, Olausson, Harju and Lundh.

and omark, persson.

 

[helicecopter]

Poor Omark, everyone is hating on him these days!

I would actually leave him on the team, would be very motivated (and fresher than most) at the WCH.

Why?

Cause they beat us everytime

Especially when Hadamczik is our coach.

oh I really hate when people are superstitious about hockey.

I'm only waiting when all fans start whining we won too many games in pre-tournament time and it's a bad sign

I've actually just read something like that in some discussion

And it's not superstition but statistics.

WC 2011 - lost to Sweden in QF 2:5
WC 2009 - lost to Sweden in QF 1:3
WC 2008 - lost to Sweden in QF 2:3ot
WC 2006 - lost to Sweden in final 0:4
OG 2006 - lost to Sweden in SF 3:7

Only time we beat them in last years were WC 2005 and 2010, both with fantastic Vokoun.

And they were in semifinal in last 11 WC. And yeah, I'm pessimist

I know, that record sucks. But I'm optimist - we avoid Swedes in QF this year and they get knoced out by someone else before we meet again

You mean me? I hate to say this, but I was right wasn't I?

 

[Jussi]

Finland head coach Jukka Jalonen said he'll experiment countering Sweden's "total hockey" with even more puck control when they meet in this tournament.

Yes you were. Despite of that I still hope we win 100% of games every year. That's just me

So Finland will play hockey which is boring as hell and has no intensity and emotions in it. Sweden and their fierce forecheking will make this game somehow interesting.

 

[Swipes]

Nah it's cool man, I hope we win all games too. I'd be a poor fan if I didn't want that as well

I honestly think the best way to go are quick rushes the other way just like the Czechs did/do. Especially in a tournament like this when we have a bunch of really big but slow guys on defense.

But we're probably not gonna play the same way in the World Champs anyway, with so many skilled guys and new players to this system you have to think that there will be some tweaking, and some old Swedish puck possession being played.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

what's the score in FIN-CZE?

 

[Ozkani28]

what's the score in FIN-CZE?

2-1 to cze

 

[FinRuutu]

Refs taking role in the game...

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

LOL @ these refs, players thrown out of game for normal scrap after whistle?

 

[Ozkani28]

2-2 Mäenpää

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Any web streams out there for the CZE-FIN game?

 

[joe89]

Why on earth is Håkan Södergren doing the play by play? He sounds completely lost

I was disgusted by this too.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Finland wins in OT against Czech Republic. Kiiskinen with an iron shot.
