GDT: Group E • May 7 • Finland 2, Slovakia 1

[zorz]

I expect very tough game for Slovakia. According to what I've seen they had problems to skate with cze yesterday. And now less than 24 hours later do or die game with Finland, which is even faster team than cze? Not good at all.

If I was Hanlon I'd bench Halak and try to put someone else to the net. It's desperate move, but he's got nothing to lose right now.

Halak is confirmed. Bartecko is out of roster.

 

[Krotak]

Well, I expect close game, but result will be something like 2:3 or 3:4?? I think we will stay in the course :



Our guys should listen to this great old stuff :



BTW Systemfel, Bartečko was scratched due to injury. Ružička is in .

Any news, hanlon still in and stuff?

Any roster info for this game?

 

[Grabovski]

Slovakia will win 5-3.

 

[Oyabun]

It would be a damn shame if the host country had to leave the tournament early. The Slovakian crowd deserves to see their team move on. I hope Slovakia can pull off a win here.

As an OT, could you link some of the songs that they keep playing during the games? They are annoyingly memorable

During the games of team Slovakia you can hear e.g. this song. It's folk song of the people from Záhorie, region located in northwest out of Bratislava

^ Wtf

 

[llwyd]

Well, the way this tournament has been going, I'd say that Finland will win excellent scoring chances about 10-2. And the score itself? Slovakia 2, Finland 1... (Though hopefully it won't go like that.)

 

[Muuri]

Atleast Pyörälä won't hog the puck as much as Aaltonen which should give Koivu and Ruutu more time and space.

Ruutu has been flat-out awful

 

[Caz]

I wouldn't break only truly good Finnish line: Pesonen-Immonen-Granlund.

Also I believe that Pihlström-Nokelainen-Komarov would be amazing line, and would tear up Slovak players physically and mentally.

Agreed on both accounts.

 

[illone84]

5-2 win for Finland!



Granlund will pick up a few more points today!

I'm scared..

 

[Erathian]

Okay, I made decision. Rest of my betting account on team Finland. I hope you won't let me down

 

[cenas*]

Trolling weird videos is a two way street.



Go Finland!

 

[MMANumminen]

I'm looking forward to see Pyörälä shut some mouths today

 

[Caz]

We're slow. Where's the skating?

 

[Latex*]

We suck.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

We suck.

Both teams do.....

 

[Caz]

I assume our (lack of) speed is some kind of tactics, as we constantly use slow start offense. Maybe it's being used to take the first steam out of SVK.

 

[Latex*]

Granlund not impressing so far in this game.

 

[Caz]

1-0 Gaborik. A stupid penalty and a nice uphill to do now.

Lol Kaj Kunnas, i love his commentating.
