Good. Berni played well so far but we need him to contribute offensively now that Gross is out...

Gross should be back on Thursday.

Hey, another penalty powered by Sweden

Whats wrong with this guy? Sweden isnt playing you troll.

 

[Jussi]

Usa is easier than Russia to be honest.

Not for this team.

your refs are tho

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Switzerland seems to be our kryptonite nowadays, ruthlessly using their opportunities and then shutting down our offense.

 

[BusQuets]

Not for this team.

Disagree. Usa tries to control the play which leaves room for skilled finnish forwards. Russia plays more like sweden.

 

[Jussi]

Oh great, the USA game is a 13.30 start....

 

[Prntscrn]

I live in a city where like 33% of the population speaks Swedish as their first language. And other 30% speaks Swedish actually really well.

It's not that common anymore, right? I'm actually a little ashamed that I don't speak any finnish even though I'm half finnish. To my defence my father isn't very good at finnish either Whished I would have gotten to learn some basic finnish as a kid though. But I do know how to say vittu, perkele and hyvä

 

[Hinterland]

I know you don't like Hollenstein. Charlin plays well and solid but also has quite a few (bad) rebounds. The team is working well to work them out. Hollenstein played great yesterday (beside that mistake which led to the goal). Pretty sure that it's anoither Hollenstein-start in the quarters.

I like Hollenstein...but we have three good goalies. But the other two are more talented than Hollenstein and Hollenstein let in far too many weak ones. If we didn't have options then I'd understand...but in our situation there's zero reason to start Hollenstein again. Just watch how much more confident the guys are with the calm presence of Charlin behind them instead of the nervous, mistake prone Hollenstein. Hollenstein just never found his mojo in this tournament. He can do much better, we all know that... but it's pointless to try again now. If Hollenstein starts in the quarters, that will be our last game...no matter who we're gonna play.

This is what happens when a team with better team defense plays against a team with horrible team defense but way better individuals.

 

[Star Ocean]

your refs are tho

Wow really, thats how low this guy sinks now?

 

[Jussi]

Disagree. Usa tries to control the play which leaves room for skilled finnish forwards. Russia plays more like sweden.

Did you watch the USA-Russia game? The amount of shot blocking they means none of our dmen will get a shot on goal. Plus they a have goalie and coaching advantage.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Pull the goalie!

 

[Hinterland]

Gross should be back on Thursday.

Yeah...but how? He also played the first two games probably far from 100%.

 

[Hinterland]

Whats wrong with this guy? Sweden isnt playing you troll.

Check out the refs

 

[Jussi]

Raipe: "Mitä vittua..?"

Yea I guess not, true. Vaasa is actually an interesting city. As mostly people in our neighbour cities only speaks Swedish, but in Vaasa most speak Finnish. I was working in a restaurant for school and most of the customers spoke Swedish to me. More than Finnish. You actually need to know it here. I'm quite bad at Swedish, but I think I can manage to speak some Swedish if I really need to. I've heard that my accent is very Swedish-like Finnish. Perfect Finnish with a hint of Finlandswedish accent.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Raipe took a timeout and said nothing HAHAHAHA

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

6 on 5

Check out the refs

Our refs are an embarrassment, sorry guys. There's a big debate going on in Sweden currently. They (the refs) are crying out in media in an attempt to make people feel bad for them.

 

[vippe]

So.. havnt watched the score for this game the entire evening, what's happening?

Switzerland good or Finland just not playing well?

 

[Hinterland]

These refs are completely lost. Wtf...

 

[FinPanda]

They thought they were going to cruise past Switzerland after Slovakia and Kazakstan games. They got the hard game and were totally unprepared.

 

[Star Ocean]

Check out the refs

So you are complaining about other countries refs now.

Have fun with russia. You have no chance.


Finland is smart losing this game. USA is an easier opponent on big ice.

 

[Jussi]

Raipe took a timeout and said nothing HAHAHAHA

No I think he didn't.
