GDT: Group D • May 2 • Latvia 2, Finland 3 (SO)

[Tissotti]

Go Suomi!
Not the result i waited but at least we won.

 

[mattihp]

Nice! Granlund and Masalkis are the best players of the game, Immonen's goal the best regulation goal and Mikko Koivu's SO goal the nicest!

 

[Like Wall]

Darzinsh can't score, why do they always choose him at SO?

 

[hardflip]

Oh yeah, thats the spirit.

Latvia got shafted on SO.

 

[Mirinho]

omg latvians ... worst shootouts I've ever seen

 

[mattihp]

****ing idiots. Maslskis you ****

Quiet. Masalkis was awesome.

 

[TexasTriumph]

[vsk92]

We'll be ready, thanks dude. Maybe USA doesn't fall on relegation rounds this year!

 

[Like Wall]

Quiet. Masalkis was awesome.

No, they screwed up at shootouts. All of them together. It's like they didn't even give a flying ****.

 

[Dominus]

Well, I didn't like Lassila but he was solid in the SO. Wasn't an easy game but at least it was entertaining.

I refuse to be worried. We can't score goals but that's nothing new. I like this team's attitude and Granlund - Immonen - Pesonen line is awesome!

 

[Juzmo]

 

[Tissotti]

We'll be ready, thanks dude. Maybe USA doesn't fall on relegation rounds this year!

I got a feeling that he is not from states.


Lassila was great in the end, but on the actual game did not impress me at all.
EDIT: that said on a YLE interview he did say that his play with a stick was not great. Good to hear it from him.

Dominus got a agree with you. Sure this game did not go like planned but i still like the way we play. Just turn it to 11 and score those emptynetters.

 

[vsk92]

is that finland through to next round??

 

[TexasTriumph]

Yeah yeah, i'ts not like we'll have a chance against them. Why are you hating on Finland so much tho? ;D

Hehehe im not hating on them im just stirring the pot ... All in fun.. I do think that Finland usually plays as dirty as the Russians though. Maybe thats why I have a chip on them . Plus im a huge Czech hockey fan.. I gotta represent them all the way baby

 

[mattihp]

No chance.
But 1 point is still great.

You deserved more. You took the chances you were given and had some bad luck along the way.

 

[TexasTriumph]

No, they screwed up at shootouts. All of them together. It's like they didn't even give a flying ****.

Hhahah Wall... You are so hard on them.. They played 2 very good teams and had a chance with both really.. Especially this game. You should be proud of them.

Hmmm. So you don't like Finland because of bodychecking... But you root for the lovetapping parade that is the Czech national team? I thought NA fans weren't fans of that kind of stick work.

 

[Reynys]

****ing idiots. Maslskis you ****

blame goalie? on shootout? for real?

 

[Dominus]

Whaaa?!?! I think they're always too nice and soft! They should be much dirtier!

 

[Peter K]

Listen, there's a reason why the leading Finnish scorers earn more, and this time it's not related to the exchange rate.
Masalskis allowed us to even go to the SO, so leave Britn... leave Masalskis alone!
