lol Finland.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

This start helps alleviate the fear that we're going to see a 2017 WHC repeat.

 

[Jussi]

Damn it, wrong side of the post.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Good push from the Fins albeit aided by two PP's but still they're making this game a close one. The Fins just need to adjust to Canada's strategy of aiming for the royal road pass because the Canadians are looking for that a lot.

 

[Jussi]

Yup, that was in...

The puck bounced oddly on the ice before the goal.

 

[bukwas]

Nice goal by Poulin.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

MPP in close like that. Sucks to be any goalie in that situation.

 

[Laineux]

Are there ever male refs in female hockey?

 

[The Jones Zone]

Wow this ref missed the last one, maybe can forgive her for the first one,

but she's 15 feet out of position on this one

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

That should have counted. Guess the official decided that two goals from Canada this period was enough.

 

[Jussi]

No goal, I guess because she was in the zone before the puck.

 

[Jussi]

That should have counted. Guess the official decided that two goals from Canada this period was enough.

She was in the crease before the puck I guess. Goalie interference anyway.

 

[Korpse]

She was in the crease before the puck I guess. aprGoalie interference anyway.

Perhaps but I'm not sure you can even conclusively say the puck was entirely across the line. Those ones are always tough to see the puck.

Well that was not what they were reviewing it seems. The refs call seemed pretty adamant that it wouldn't count.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

She was in the crease before the puck I guess. Goalie interference anyway.

Eh looks like Raty pulled a Hasek sliding into the crease with the puck. Spooner adding her stick didn't happen until Raty was in the net.

 

[Gsus]

Game over

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Smart move from Daoust changing the angle into the screen and thereby taking away Raty's eyes. This Canadian top line has been unstoppable.

 

[Jussi]

And this one's over.

 

[Cloned]

I think Canada is going to actually be the favourite against the US this year based on how they've played so far.

 

[bukwas]

I think Canada is going to actually be the favourite against the US this year based on how they've played so far.

I think they like the underdog tag.

 

[Cloned]

I think they like the underdog tag.

They probably do but the US team doesn't seem particularly in sync yet. That still has time to change though.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

We'll see if Raty's stick survives anymore defensive breakdowns this period.

 

[Jussi]

Riikka The GOAT!

Good set up from my home town girl Suski.

 

[bukwas]

Finland gets on the board.
