Euro Hockey Tour: 2014 Channel One Cup (Dec. 18-21)

[Jussi]

Hopefully Ericsson, Klasen, Pettersson, Möller, Omark are all playing next tournament. Then you just gotta find another center(maybe Engqvist, makes sense with another big two-way center for small skilled wingers) and you have great top6, at least for this competition.

Next tournament is the World Championships. It's double header friendlies from now on.

Ouch. Swedish powerplay with 3:25 left on the clock (in a 2-2 situation).

 

[Huokaus]

Finland survived the SWE PP with some scarily close chances. Smells like overtime.

 

[Huokaus]

Overtime over. Shootout!

Goals everywhere

Kronwall - goal
Immonen - goal
Möller - goal
Donskoi - goal
Omark - no goal
Salminen - goal

Finland wins!

Kronwall!!!

 

[Jussi]

We. Won. A. Shootout.

 

[m4tt145]

A fair result IMO.

 

[punchonico99]

It has been a very entertaining game!

Both side played very well.

 

[FinPanda]

We. Won. A. Shootout.

Yeah, I can't believe all our players scored in a shootout. Very entertaining game.

 

[Periwinkle]

Overtime over. Shootout!

Goals everywhere

Kronwall - goal
Immonen - goal
Möller - goal
Donskoi - goal
Omark - no goal
Salminen - goal

Finland wins!

Kind of funny that Omark is the one guy to miss in a shootout where everyone scorers (meant to say "ironic" but I'm not sure if that is an actual instance of irony or just Alanis Morrissette -type of irony)

Saw the first two periods and Swe had the upper hand, so a good result for us. I also don't get how much bigger and stronger the Swedish team was, why o why are we lacking skilled players with good size.

That camera angle in the SO was horrible, and the goaltending was even worse.

That camera angle in the SO was horrible, and the goaltending was even worse.

Totally agree.

Very entertaining game though.

Once again I'd like to point out how good I think Andreas Johnson is.

That camera angle in the SO was horrible, and the goaltending was even worse.

Yeah. You couldn't even see if the puck went in or not.
