GDT: Quarterfinal: Canada-Finland

[Czechboy]

I agree with Johnson a lot from tsn... I love his empty net goal cheering... He's been pissed at guys all tourney for missing.lol

 

[ORRFForever]

It's amazing how close they always come to missing an open net.

 

[Jimmy71]

Woohoo

 

[Luolis]

Good game! Super mature defensive hockey by Canada. Respect!

 

[jj cale]

Toffoli looks nowhere near scoring. But that's how snipers work, coming out of nowhere, I guess

What did I tell ya?

Mighty Finland got a beatdown the last 24 hours!
Good on Canada and Florida. Still have Barkov to enjoy

 

[Shocker]

Good game, very deserved win for Canada.

Let's try again next year.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

great win.

Canada always seems to come to play in the playoff rounds.

"Hey I got an empty net goal!"

"No you get a hooking penalty. Have a seat."

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Canada... Off to see if Latvia can pull this off! Sorry Finland... You are outstanding.... Just a bad matchup for quarters. I wouldn't really change a thing

Good game Finland! Keep your heads up you guys are still in the upper crust of the hockey world.

On to Latvia in Latvia?

Florida has as many Finnish players as Carolina does lol

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Player of the game Hartikainen??????

 

[BusQuets]

Would be great if Finland's dynasty ends when USA finally wins the gold.

 

[HabSgt]

MONTY! Man of the match.

 

[DaJackal]

Well, you can't win every year. I didn't have that high hopes for this year anyway; something about the team seemed off and our finishing was poor.

Congratulations to Canada, worked very hard and deserved the win! Beware of USA, their team seems to be a real deal this year.

Well, good game Finland, Some days you win, some you lose . I've been on the other end with you guys plenty of times. Respect

Congrats to the the boys, all I asked of them was to give it their all after that Norway game and they have absolutely delivered.

Extra props to Monty............player of the game and our M.V..P so far hands down.

No. Rest of the matches are in Finland

Yep, now Barkov will finally get the recognition deserves as Aho proved to be as soft as butter when push came to shove.

Both Canada and the U.S have to win their semis first, and as you can see today that is hardly assured.

Hate to be right about it, but I said it here just before the tournament, that I had a really bad feeling about this year’s team Finland. It went pretty much how I was afraid it would go. But hey, it wasn’t really that good team on paper even, so I wonder why some people were really so confident about Finland winning again? Jalonen was also way too stubborn this time. Manninen and Rantanen should have been broken as a tandem already in the beginning of the tournament, as there was absolutely no chemistry between them. It shows also that even how good a player is in the NHL it won’t guarantee anything very special in the European top competition. You need line chemistry and team chemistry. The individual skill level difference in today’s hockey isn’t even close to as big as some people seem to think.

Looch busy cracking his neck during the national anthem........lol

Too bad, it would have been a party in Latvia. They should ask for a special dispensation or something.
