GDT: World Cup of Hockey Discussion

USA vs Finland tonight on ESPN-prelim. Easily the best matchup for Wild fans.

Wasn't able to watch either game vs. Canada, so I'm excited to watch the game tonight!

2 am game is kind of a bummer tho..

 

[BusQuets]

Fletcher is going to be sweating every time Wild guys are battling each other.

Oh come on, stay up for some Finland/USA banter

 

[gphr513]

Hey, Oshie scores!

Barely a minute in.

[Minnesota]

Finland with a good chance.

 

[gphr513]

Seems like Finland is settling into the game a bit. USA still seems firmly in control, though.

 

[Puhis]

Decent 1st from Finnish POV. Määttä with couple of bad giveaways, Haula still looks fast and I actually noticed Laine twice. Still a bit sloppy, but that's to be expected with guys fresh off training and still "rusty".

 

[gphr513]

Kind of an uncharacteristic game for Finland. Some undisciplined plays.

 

[W75]

Just woke up for the 2nd. Read that 1st was decent, well this start of the 2nd certainly doesn't look like it. Vatanen looks atrocious still. Well, let's see.

 

[gphr513]

lol, Melrose just put Haula in a category with Koivu as "one of those guys who's been around for a while"

Haula, the 3rd year pro who probably has less than 20 caps for Finland

Granlund attempting to concuss himself before the season begins.

[W75]

Turned out to be a nice game in the end. That Parise falling looked weird and scary.

 

[gphr513]

Russia gets two quick goals and goes up 2-1 on Canada

 

[Minnesota]

Turned out to be a nice game in the end. That Parise falling looked weird and scary.

Did he continue to play? I'm sure we would have heard about an injury by now.

 

[W75]

Actually didn't pay enough attention during the game. Thought he was ok, because no one mentioned any injuries. Commentators or fans..

 

[TaLoN]

Did he continue to play? I'm sure we would have heard about an injury by now.

Saw part of the replay of the game on NHL network... he didn't miss any icetime. Got up and right back into the play and never missed a shift.

 

[Avder]

So, almost time for some hockey that actually counts!

 

[Wabit]

USA looks flat. Down 1-0 early.

 

[melinko]

I really like the score overlay on ESPN.

 

[Wild11MN]

Did part of one of the ads on the boards just come off after a hit there or am I seeing things?

I know it really didn't, but something with the digital ads made it look that way.

 

[Wabit]

Suter has a lot of ice time so far. Haven't seen Parise at all, heard his name a couple times.

Ehrhoff is looking oddly competent for Europe.

Stupid wedding ... I want to watch hockey
