WJC: U18 WJC Quarterfinal Finland vs Sweden game thread.

[jj cale]

Not having Zetterberg is already costing Sweden in this game.

Interesting reffing. What happened to Suoniemi before? Just saying...

Had the puck, was pushed, fell.

 

[Jussi]

Figures... Of course deflected off our own player.

 

[jj cale]

ugh

 

[Sliptip]

Was expecting this from us, but thought the Finns would give me something at least. Even with the lead I can't say I'm enjoying this from a purist perspective.

 

[theslatcher]

Amhamdi with the dirty deflection.

 

[king89]

Hemming need to score there

 

[Svedu]

Worst game I've seen in a playoff in this rivalry. Both are boring and bad. But Finland is even worse.

Can this Finnish shitshow coach stop complaining on the refs and start dictating his players and focus his energy on his system, his players energy and to actually see who's hot and who's not.

 

[jj cale]

make em pay here.

 

[theslatcher]

Well, that's a call that was made.

 

[king89]

Our big guns need to show up here in the third period. Helenius should dominate but hasn't so far in this game.

 

[Jukurit]

I expected more from Helenius in this tournament. He was playing so good in Liiga playoffs and with national team. He should be dominating against kids his own age, but he's not.

Our big guns need to show up here in the third period. Helenius should dominate but hasn't so far in this game.

Definitely time for them to step up.

 

[theslatcher]

Lets hope for both teams to come out with some energy in the third.

Hopefully a 3-1 win here, last in the open net

If this game had any hype going into it it hasn't met it.

Wdym Sweden is leading, isn’t that what everybody hoped for?

 

[Svedu]

Can this Kauppinen dude stop complaining about the reffing and actually start doing his job coaching and giving the kids some extra fire. So far he oozes loser mentality.

 

[Jussi]

These kids, in general, are taking some really dumb penalties.

 

[theslatcher]

Swedes losing their sticks all the time this period.

 

[FinPanda]

There is two good teams in this tournament; US and Canada. Rest are kinda meh. Finland sucks.

 

[Jussi]

Hemming doesn't come off as a natural goal scorer.

 

[jj cale]

Helenius should have passed the puck there coming in.

Sweden getting bailed by Härenstam

Eliasson uuhhmmm

 

[theslatcher]

Härenstam is him
