GDT: [WJC] Finland vs. Czechia, 2pm EST 11/8/22

[Brunkmeister]

I think they would be proud to hang this on the wall at the Guggenheim.

 

[King 88]

If only Finland had good goalie in the team

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That can’t be a goal c’moon

Merilainen was mediocre in Kingston last season.

 

[ijuka]

If only Finland had good goalie in the team

If only Finland had the best goalie in Liiga available.

Shocker that goalie who saved .890 in CHL is doing poorly. How about using the goalie who saved .940 in Liiga? Oh didn't make the team.

 

[wonton15]

Fins are getting clapped so far

 

[Bounces R Way]

oh dear

That's a bit unlucky for the goalie honestly.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

You guys reckon Blomqvist would've stopped that?

 

[Hinterland]

If only Finland had good goalie in the team

Yeah. Very good team but unless they can get some solid goaltending they'll have no chance vs the good teams. Merilainen sucks. I don't think the other two are any better but they should give them a chance. Better sooner than later. Merilainen isn't gonna cut it.

Don't think you say "tavla" about those everywhere

 

[Erikfromfin]

Not going so well this game... luckily we already beat Latvia

 

[Ippenator]

Czechs have scouted Finland’s play perfectly and are dominating against them. And seems so far that Pennanen is clueless with it. That’s what I have always disliked very much about Pennanen. He is very rigid and stubborn with his system and practically incapable of making changes to his system, according to how the opponents play. A way too stubborn coach with a huge ego. Of course those are problems for many coaches nowadays.

No but everyone knows about Rembrandt

Kari Jalonen the main man devil behind the scenes pulling the strings

This guy might have helped.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Regardless of Meriläinens performance Finland only has two shots. Czechia's been more opportunistic and playing the way Finland's trying to play.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

MYSAK ROBBED

JACKASS REF

 

[Svedu]

Im losing it already. A lot of questionable selections from him.
I get if he wanted or preferred physicality or something before skill, IQ or whatever. But the thing is he just seems to have chosen worse players because of his own f*cking ego.

Czechs should lead with 2-0, good goal.

 

[King 88]

This ref blows.

 

[AB13]

No but everyone knows about Rembrandt

Everyone doesn't have the luxury of listening to Holmgren mate

 

[Svedu]

Meriläinen? Does not cut it.

2-0 Well deserved.

 

[None]

Finland needs to make a goalie change before this blows up

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

this goalie aint very good

 

[Erikfromfin]

hah Meriläinen getting pulled

 

[Hinterland]

Regardless of Meriläinens performance Finland only has two shots. Czechia's been more opportunistic and playing the way Finland's trying to play.

The Fins had opportunities as well, just decided to cycle the puck instead of shooting it. Different strategies so I'm not sure the Fins really want to copy the Czechs. Finland had more offensive zone time I think. They just can't seem to play defense and have a poor goaltender. Which isn't a very promising combination.

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich ripping it.
