GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 03 • Group A: CAN (4) - FIN (2) F

[FinPanda]

I mean I wouldn't say "a lot" better but maybe just "clearly better"

No. Canada deserved to win, but many things could've gone different.

 

[TaroTsujimoto]

Finland looked uninspired

 

[LeafChief]

No. Canada deserved to win, but many things could've gone different.

Canada was clearly better.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

English only. (I honestly don't know what that's supposed to mean.)

Slang for pick up your bags and go home. Usually used sarcastically, but if it's used like above, it means that you're trying to sound hip and cool because that's what the kids say these days.

 

[Merya]

Tolvanen slump continues, sorta. It's been over 6 weeks now. >:|

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

The Finnish fans on this board over-hyped this team like I've never seen an over-hyping n my life. Tolvanen was invisible. Who knew he was a little shrimp?

Who's hyped and what.
I don't have any success expectations on this Team Finland.

If they make quarterfinals i'm happy and that's it.
We won't win this tournament this year ( Canada, USA, Russia and Sweden are too strong for Finland)

 

[frodo timberlake]

Finland’s next game will be much more telling and useful. They’ll have more time to adjust to the ice and build chemistry against the Danes.

This was one game. It’s not like the hockey world just pulled the hype of this Finnish team’s potential out of thin air, these’s players got drafted high for a reason. They have the manpower to ragdoll Denmark, if they wake up.

 

[Psych0dad]

let's see that video

Yeah I want to see it again or just a screenshot with the puck over the line. Saw it on TSN broadcast so it should be floating around.

Nah. Even based on today, I don’t think the Swedes will beat Finland

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Yeah you can't see it from overhead. The crossbar obstructs the view. You can see it from an angle from the front where the puck is on it's side fully over the line.

Overhead is not the only one they look at. I remember a world championship final decided on a forward angle. I think it was against Sweden and might have been Canada who won. It was looked at for 15 minutes in OT.

Any other views besides the overhead view are irrelevant when determining if the puck crosses the line because of parallax angles

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Really?
If Finland faces Sweden and their defense is against Sweden is as sloppy like it was vs Canada Sweden will abuse Finland. Of course i hope Finland vs Sweden game but not in the quarterfinals ( if Finland makes there).

 

[GoBs]

Canada by far the better team today no question. But the first goal was not a goal and lastly Ray Ferraro what a homer. Does he know the NHL channel was was simulcasting the game?

 

[Zamuz]

We can only guess how would Canadian people have reacted if the game went the otherways.

"Don't be a sore loser, don't blame refs, you were worse team " Yeah right, I'm 100% sure this thread would be full of Canadian people flaming the refs. Seen that before.

 

[EveryDay]

If I had to rank Canada defence today:

1-Mete
2-Timmins
3-Fabbro
4-Clague
5-Foote
6-Makar
7-Bean

I won’t bet my home on it, but yeah. The main difference is the speed, which I think was a big part in disorienting the Finnish D. Conversely, I don’t see Sweden containing Vesalainen, Heponiemi etc. when even Canada was struggling with that.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Final comment on the match, love the TSN announcers Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro. Although Ferraro might be little homer-ish at times, it doesn't matter because Gord is a full professional.
He makes stout observations and frankly, has a great play-by-play voice. He's not late to the play with his commentating, and usually has little facts that make the game more interesting to listen to.
TSN has figured out how to make these broadcast sound really good.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

So lackluster coming out of their zone. Too many low % passes. Canada needs to play better, no doubt. Having said that, they were quite clearly the better team today. Finland had very little scoring chances.

Overall, game lacked emotion and both teams zoned out for long periods. I hope the hockey is of higher quality moving forward.

P.S. Officiating was crap. That too should improve, hopefully.

 

[The Macho King]

If I had to rank Canada defence today:

1-Mete
2-Timmins
3-Fabbro
4-Clague
5-Foote
6-Makar
7-Bean

Foote over Clague. Clague was not good.

 

[Critical13]

If I had to rank Canada defence today:

1-Mete
2-Timmins
3-Fabbro
4-Clague
5-Foote
6-Makar
7-Bean

Mine would be

1 - Fabbro
2 - Timmins
3 - Makar
4 - Foote
5 - Mete
6 - Clague
7 - Bean

here's the link. Multiple angles. Puck did not cross the line.

Gord Miller and Chris Cuthbert are the best play by play guys.

 

[Merya]

Face forward, forget the game. Win the right games!

 

[Simplicity]

Gord Miller and Chris Cuthbert are the best play by play guys.

I find Gord Miller is in the group of reporters who show up with their narrative and the game fits that narrative, regardless of what happens on the ice.

 

[Psych0dad]

here's the link. Multiple angles. Puck did not cross the line.

29 seconds to 30 seconds in when his fingers touch the puck it's clearly over. You can see white between puck and goal line. Like I said it was in.

Thanks for the evidence.
