GDT: Quarterfinal • May 12 • Finland 4, Norway 1

[happysquirrel]

Disagree, I don't think the difference is as big as you Finns think. We got a lot of SEL players that are key players on their teams.

Koivu sucks, but there is always a free spot for a Finn on our team. It's pathetic.

The difference does not matter so much at this point anyway. It's just one game. Good team play, good energy, some luck, and that's it. We Finns should know, as our team usually does better than it should.

And as you are playing against Finland, you have an extra bonus: Finland has an unparalled talent for screwups of Epic Fail proportions.

Nonetheless, good luck Norway, hopefully the game will be a real killer.

One thread isn't enough for you?

 

[cibtom]

Finland is as strong as Sweden, so 5:4 for Norway (OT)

No, 4:1 Finland

Well, that's one hope for the Norwegians: penalties will be generated randomly and Finland usually has bad luck in this particular lottery...

 

[TollefsenFan]

allahhhhhh salalalahhhhh I had a vision. Byfuglien gonna play for Norway against Finland

Who the hell is that????

As a finn who doesn't consume alcohol at all, I find these "all finns are alcoholics" -jokes very insulting....

It's not certainly all, there's you, and that other guy, what's his name again? No... I think he actually died recently. But there's you!

I love Norway and their game but I really think Finland takes this as an opportunity to send a message to the remaining 5 teams. The Finns looked really good at times, this tournament, and are a contender, in my estimation. I think the Finns outplay Norway significantly throughout the game and leave Orange Arena with a very convincing win.

And, obligatory metal song....

Swedish version of Jyri Rönn. In other words really bad referee especially for finland

Jesus u dnt know what ur talking about. Koivu is a big D. Thats why we screwed up last year. U cant play with dwarfs in the D zone.... Holøs, bonsaksen, trygg, jakobsen, espeland, løkken østli, ask and so on are just to "nice". Many of em are good offensivly, but weak in the D zone.

U need a big mean D to rly piss of the other teams forwards. Therefore i like Koivu and Tollefsen. Both of em are not elite players, but they got one thing in common. They blocks shots and are strong in box play. Tollefsen needs to improve his play with the puck and the same goes for Koivu. Anyways they should get a lot of cred and not stupid *****ing!

A Swedish referee should benefit Norway

How does that guy still get to ref Finland games? There REALLY needs to be an investigation. There has never been a more biased referee in the history of hockey. Every game he has against Finland is full of huge mistakes while he is an alright referee in other games.

 

[mattihp]

3-2 Finland.

Hardly contested game both through horrible refereeing and a hard working Norway.

Well, first of all he's legally blind and they do have that politically correct quota for the physically challenged. So, it's the guide dog we should blame and how likely it is that a canine would have national bias? It's just bad luck, and in hockey we have the copyright for bad luck...

 

[Glennsoe]

I got serious money on Finland taking it 4-2 and Canada winning 7-4..

Make it happen..

How come he isn't blind when he refs other teams?

I think they change the dog periodically - some dogs are better than the others...
