GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • Finland 3, Russia 4 (OT)

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

We need to sort out comrade Kuznetsov...he's very annoying

 

[Garyboy]

Isn't this supposed to be on TSN2? Where are you guys watching it? Thanks.

 

[MOGiLNY]

End of the first.

I think it was an even period, both sides had their chances and both goals haven't been the best

I may be biased, but I think a lot of the Finland's chances came from stupid mistakes by Russian players that could and should have been easily avoided.

As mentioned, Russia's leaders haven't really been too visible so far. Hopefully that will change in a good way in the 2nd.

Russia started pretty good but it turned the other way towards the end.

Tarasenko has been ok, he tried a couple of rushes. Same for Orlov, whose defensive play seems a little improved.
Kuznetsov needs some

 

[Ruggero Rossi De Mio]

I too love Pierre's pronounciations of the Finnish names.

TSN2 will show the game when basketball is over...

OK is not good enough! He's got to take charge here!

 

[DamonDRW]

Fallos Stars vs Blue Guys us on.

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

No need to trash him. It's first period. He'll show what he's worth

 

[Jussi]

Finland's system definitely worked better than Russia which was non-existant.

 

[teme]

Good game. Finns controlling the play a bit, but Russia generating some good shots.

Finnish coach Marjamäki should be getting some job offers, fantastically co-ordinated hockey for a junior team.

 

[MOGiLNY]

nobody is trashing him..

 

[tikkanen5rings*]

Pulkkinen should shoot all the time from everywhere. Vatanen has been a disappoint for me trough the tournament. He is fun to watch but doesn't seem to produce and also a couple of bad mistakes at own end.

 

[Latex*]

Soft call

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

Kuznetsov reminds me of last years' Filatov ... thanks God no one thought about him as captain

 

[Jussi]

Finland powerplay.

 

[Jordan Eberle]

Ah why we they starting it from the beginning on tsn right now. I'd rather watch the live timing

 

[dfk711*]

Pathetic dive

 

[inoajd]

Tarasenko looks nothing like the other games I've seen him, so far.

In the other games he was ridiculously dangerous offensively every time he was on the ice.

 

[SerbianHabs]

Powerplay Russia Davai!

 

[MOGiLNY]

awesome dive

 

[Brun0]

Weak call! Russians have their hands high all the time..

 

[Jussi]

Powerplay Russia Davai!

4 on 4. Russian got a penalty for diving.

 

[Tofly]

haha nice call
