GDT: Game 7: Finland Vs Slovakia | 9AM EST 3PM CET | FIN 8 - 1 SVK

[Jussi]

Janne Ahonen looks odd with a beard.

 

[FinPanda]

Looks like a good prospect for the Yotees

They haven't drafted many Finns lately and now they have Aku Räty and(!) Maccelli.

 

[kudla]

I have to admit I didn't expect this team to be THIS bad

 

[Zub]

Lol Sweden's broadcast showed every goal on replay except Aatu's beauty. The salt is real.

See, now we are getting somewhere, denial is no more

 

[FinPanda]

Räty's brothers getting well deserved praise on the studio. The whole line is excellent and they are so smart, know when to defend, when to attack.

The last time my Flyers drafted a Finn was in 2006! Maybe Aatu will end this streak, who knows.

 

[FinPanda]

Jere Lehtinen is Aatu's favourite Finnish player. Love it.

Looks like to make the national team was not that difficult after all if one knew how to lace them up or how to put the jersey on.

Only sound salty around here is you tbh

The Räty line is so good.

I just want some people to come to terms how bad this Slovak team is. Just can't help myself. Nothing against the country or Slovak people but the collective arrogance yesterday really did me in. All the "are you saying this team wouldn't have a chance against Germany" stuff. No, they absolutely freaking wouldn't. And the theories how "it was just a bad game and it has no correlation to upcoming games". I just have a really hard time getting over it.

Can you show me the post which claimed "it was just a bad game and it has no correlation to upcoming games"? I don't recall seeing that.

Also, I still don't know why this team wouldn't have a chance against Germany. As I said yesterday, Germany would be the clear favorite against both Slovakia and Kazakhstan, but still, I don't think it would be a walkover. Like.. you realize we are playing against Finland, right? And Germany also lost to them 6:1 in the pre-tournament game. There was one poster who claimed Germany-Slovakia or Germany-Switzerland relegation series would be interesting, although Germany would most probably win. That is virtually everything the post said. And since then, you are acting like almost every Slovak fan is living in denial. Furthermore, there was one guy who said relegation definitely won't happen in the upcoming years and as I said before, I disagree, we can easily get relegated next year. So I'm not sure what exactly do you mean by the "collective arrogance".

Too early for me to compare since i haven't seen much of him yet, but he is very good.

 

[Zub]

Thomson gtfo.

 

[Shocker]

Thomson keeping the 4 PIM's per game streak alive.

 

[FinPanda]

How can Thomson be so stupid?`Then he complains about every penalty he takes. So dumb, this was a clear penalty too.

Go eat your Kalles or whatever.

Everybody is saying that Räty- Räty - Ranta line is so good and still everyone wants to put Macceli with Räty brother and it is even 'obvious move to make' to you. Thats just funny. Ranta has played extremely well also, why broke that line up now? Maybe do that if things don't work?

It's also making me angry how everybody is on the 'I hate Helminen'- train now. Finland has not even been that bad. Maybe he was not the best choice to lead the team, but some of you find a way to dish him now no matter how the team plays. If things go south, sure then give the feedback.

Sure, Finland does have some problems in their play and players, but it is nothing major. I think our national teams have earned some slag with their recent years showings, no matter the roster.

salty indeed

 

[chauron]

Maccelli has been bad today, lots of bad penalties.

Too early for me to compare since i haven't seen much of him yet, but he is very good.

I’ve seen him play in the mens elite league and can confirm, he’s indeed very good. Not too flashy but very skilled, reliable and plays a good two-way game.

 

[Zub]

Beautiful.

Well the one thing Finland has done is giving up tons and tons of odd man rushes. No good team that is coached well manages doing that consistently. There's no real good things to rave about so far in the tournament. " not even that bad" is not a good enough defense for what Helminen's young Lions have shown us

Coaching is still the problem, I don't think this system works against top countries.

Beauty goal by Petman.
