GDT: Group B - May 5 - Finland vs Korea

[QuietContrarian]

Nope. Where is the joke? Russia plays usually better when Ovechkin is not in the team. He said that they are not going to be good because Ovechkin is not in the team. So where’s the joke?

In the sarcasm.

Spock???

2.92 GAA is "out of the world"?

I actually watched those games and would be pretty confident in stating that he was let down by the D more times than where he let in an easy goal.
Hence the 'stats hide it a bit though'

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

In the sarcasm.

Spock???

He's more of Captain Kirk, I believe.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Did they just play PSY - Gentleman before the faceoff?

Did they just play PSY - Gentleman before the faceoff?

Yeah
edit : Pesonen! 8-1

 

[QuietContrarian]

Now they just played some techno song, sung by an owl?

 

[Ippenator]

In the sarcasm.

Spock???

Very badly put sarcasm in my opinion. Don’t find that in any way witty or funny.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Yeah also 8-1

Pesonen. Never heard of him, but I guess he's good.

Is sarcasm supposed to be either of the listed?

 

[QuietContrarian]

easy angle

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Never have I seen Korea attack in the Finnish zone.

I think he was being cheeky, and for that, sarcasm is perfect.

This game doesn't work anyway as a measurement how good or bad Team Finland will be in this tournament.

Would've been better start against real team with real competition.

It's what it is and cheers to Korea for appearing in the tournament. If this game will act as indicator of anything, it's highly probable that Korea's GF/GA ratio will be really ugly. Surreal in ugliness.

8-1

 

[Jussi]

2008 6+6 in 6 games
2012 joined the team late 2+2 in 3 games
2014 4+7 in 9 games

Total 28 pts in 18 games

Only 1,5ppg in those gold medal tournies, but sure lets not let facts get in the way

Apart from 2008, both 2012 and 2014 they had ridiculously stacked rosters comapred to their opponents. Malkin was much better in 2014 for example. They didn't need him 2012 nor 2014.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Finnish power play coming. I can foresee a ninth goal.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Finland with as many goals as SK has shots

 

[Ippenator]

You said it was a joke. Sarcastic jokes are supposed to have those things, yes.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Finland with as many goals as SK has shots

No crowd in the arena at all.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Pesonen. Never heard of him, but I guess he's good.

Scored 78 points in 58 games (34+44) in the 2007-08 season for Kärpät, I have his jersey on the wall to this day, bought it that season. Still my only jersey I own.
I thought he was an NHL level talent at that time but things never materialized for him just like it didn't for many top scorers of Liiga.

TLDR former great of the Finnish league.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Are the UK going to be just as bad next year?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Are the UK going to be just as bad next year?

At least, Korea's better than U.K.

 

[QuietContrarian]

No crowd in the arena at all.

Lowest selling games are all with Korea in them.

Doesn't help they are playing in group B, in a low density area, compared to Copenhagen, so not alot of random fans.

Yeah malkin scored 2+1 in 4 games in 2014 theres no shame in having a bad memory but no need to chat shit like that lmao.

Are you kidding me?

For real?

Man, UK are going to get murdered..,

Yeah, ice hockey isn't widely known in Korea.
