GDT: Finland-Czech Republic, 3:30 p.m Local Time

[kmad]

What an exciting game

shots after 10 minutes: 2-2

Both teams being way too cautious, this will be a sleeper

 

[canucksfan]

Czechs now have a power play.

 

[Slick Nick]

Czechs now have a power play.

They can't even enter the zone. The finns are playing a perfect traping game... boooooooooooooooooring

 

[Mr. Penguin]

Some people were expecting an exciting game...

I just hope Czech wins.

 

[The True Blue Crew]

Suomi!

 

[canucksfan]

Not an exciting period. It seemed to have opened up a bit and the end.

I hate that rule when they have to blow the whistle when the puck hits the goalie's mask.

 

[The True Blue Crew]

Well, at least Finns are penetrating the Czech zone more.
they are driving at net and taking different shots, plays.
to me it's interesting.

 

[markov`]

Joensuu looks dominant out there.

 

[kmad]

Rask has been the best player on the ice

Finland is clearly outgunned, but Rask could carry them. This game could really go either way IMO.

 

[The True Blue Crew]

Come On, Suomi!!!

 

[slimer]

Is there audio over the net anywhere?

 

[canucksfan]

The way this game is going one goal might be enough to win the game.

 

[kmad]

Rask

Ten Years For Armed Robbery

 

[canucksfan]

Nice save by Rask on Kaspar.

 

[Barnaby]

I figure I'll ask this where all the Czech fans are, and where all the people are who have probably seen a lot of this tournament.

How has Olesz looked this tournament? I wanted the Rangers to take him over Montoya, but oh well. His point totals look very nice, but I'm curious if he looks like he could be that dominant force as once predicted. What do you think he'll be in the NHL?

Olesz looks great out there! The Czechs are back looking solid now, it was about time.

That was a dirty hit. That has to be at least 5 + Game for Boarding.

For once, I agree with Pierre on the officiating ...for this play at least.

That's nice to hear. TOo bad I don't have TSN.

I'm worried though, 0-0, this could be one of those games that is an upset on some lucky goal and is a 1-0 win for the Finns

 

[canucksfan]

What an ugly check. Hopefully he will be ok. There has to be a penatly on that.

 

[Barnaby]

C'mon Korpikoski!!

Who's the best Finnish skater? That's right!!

 

[Jacob]

Who hit who?

 

[PanthersRule96]

What an ugly check. Hopefully he will be ok. There has to be a penatly on that.

Man, I hope it's not Olesz getting killed again

 

[Make]

Was it that Kolehmainen hit?

 

[BCCHL inactive]

Man, I hope it's not Olesz getting killed again

Nokelainen put Gulasi into the boards in a very dangerous position. I think Gulasi was out cold for a bit.
