GDT: Quarterfinal • Feb. 19 • Finland vs. Russia • Part I

[BonMorrison]

As you can see, we've made sure Kulemin played well enough this season to get on the Russian team only to sabotage everything.

 

[Hockeyleberry Finn]

no way russia is goig to score 3 more goals on Rask . this game is over

Don't jinx it

 

[MOGlLNY]

If Russia loses this game and Ovechkin only ends up with one goal, can't imagine it'll be great for Ovechkin's psyche.

 

[Acallabeth]

I understand everything, but these refs are missing obvious penalties in crucial situations.

 

[Matt4776]

Quick run down for someone that just started watching the game?

Finland is winning 3-1.

Here to help.

 

[WinTheRightGames]

Stop jinxing us! This game isn't over.

 

[agent082]

Too few penalties. Just like Fin-Can game.

 

[chauron]

Yes, but its probable, that the plane with Finnish players on Sunday will change route towards Siberia

They're going to Lehterä's apartment in Novosibirsk?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Finland is playing realllllyyyy defensive, collapsing in front of the net and a 1-4 or 1-3-1 in the neutral zone

Sometimes you have to defense only in the game when opponent is pushing really hard. Seems like you don´t know that.

 

[Avs]

Quick run down for someone that just started watching the game?

Russia isn't very good.

 

[octopi]

Would anybody be shocked if Russia loses? No, not really. I wouldn't even consider it to be an upset.

I agree.

Russia has some good top line talent but hasn't been able to put it together and it drops off after those half dozen players.

Finland ha better goalies than anyone? Hmmm.

 

[THEKOSTAJA]

How many saves does Bobrovsky have?

 

[Plural]

Just keep it 3 - 1, just keep it 3 - 1...please.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Who is in net for Russia?

EDIT: post above indicates Bobrovsky

 

[Atas2000]

You can't win against the refs. If that hook/slash on Datsyuk wasn't a clear call, then I don't know...

 

[HockeyFan100]

Quick run down for someone that just started watching the game?

Varlamov apparently sucks and is a garbage goalie, Finland dominating.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Quick run down for someone that just started watching the game?

Russian defensive lapses + Teemu and Granlund

Who is in net for Russia?

Bob.

[OriginJM]

Who is in net for Russia?

might as well be you

 

[octopi]

Stop jinxing us! This game isn't over.

Looks over to me unless Russia can start getting shots on net.

 

[chauron]

Wow even Datsyuk is in full pressure, the stress can be seen from his face.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Wow, just got home and Finland is up two goals, is it well deserved?

 

[Gaps]

I'd be shocked. It would be a big upset.

No it wouldn't be. Russia once again hasn't figured out how to play as a team and the pressure on them is too much.

 

[Avs]

Who is in net for Russia?

Bobrovsky. Varly was pulled a couple minutes after the third goal.
