World Cup: Sep 4 GDT - Sweden vs. Finland

[mattihp]

Yeaah baby! What a period! Unbeliveable!



...Ruotsi tekee sen meille taas...

Are they playing in Helsinki or in Heslinki?

 

[Shoalzie]

Watching the game on broadband is weird, watching the camera get setup for the intermisson interview. At least there aren't any commercials. Music playing in the background from the arena too...just too bad it wasn't brighter.

Yeah, I like this intermission stuff too. Been watching football on regular TV along with this game. I'd be curious what this service will cost and what it will have as far as games. I'll definitely check out Canada-Russia tonight.

Are they playing in Helsinki or in Heslinki?

I'd be more than happy with Lehtonen or Nurminen.

 

[WhitePony]

Yea that dark rink had a lot to say

 

[f1nn]

For those of us watching ESPN BB...... what an intresting Intermission report.....

HAHAHA yea

 

[mattihp]

I'd be more than happy with Lehtonen or Nurminen.

As would I. But Kipinä's played very good in the beginning of the tournament and we need that extra spark from a goaltender (which we've never really had before) against the bigger teams. I would rather have Toskala than Nurminen at this state though, he has refined his overall game alot last season in San José and doesn't have to be known as only "the guy with the greatest glove hand in the world" anymore. He's got more now.

Heh, oops.
They're playing in Heslinki Hjartwall Areena.

 

[mattihp]

BTW.... This gdt (with all right imo) is by far the most popular this far in the WCoH forum....

 

[Gabriel Knight]

4 - 0 by Olli Jokinen. Sweden needs some goalies, stat.

 

[gib]

Jooookineeeeen!!!!! I predict this game is going to end 12-11 to Finland!

 

[guinness]

What a weak goal, weak defense too.

 

[Astaroth]

Ollie Joki! Jokinen showing why he's going to be the sucessor of Koivu when he retires.

4-0

 

[The True Blue Crew]

lol, your hegemonic ambitions are amusing

thank god finland is a free country

It's a pity that moron King Gustav IV lost Finland to Russia 195 years ago. If Sweden had a goaltender in Kiprusoff's class we could be unstoppable.

 

[Erik]

What do you mean?

They just a center ice view of the arena for 10 minutes..... they eventually had an interview, but it was weird just staring at the ice most of the time.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

What's wrong with Selanne ?

 

[Kyri]

OLLI OLLI! Wow, maybe the best game EVER!

 

[Erik]

OLLI OLLI! Wow, maybe the best game EVER!

And this is just a QUALIFYING GAME!!!!! Man, I wish USA would play with this kind of passion......

 

[Shack]

I'm not watching any more. Can't stand the excitement
BTW: Jokinen scored.. was it cheap goal or beauty?

 

[Mr. Penguin]

I've never seen such a weak goaltending...

But whatever, the game is exciting as hell!!

 

[Astaroth]

What's wrong with Selanne ?

Seriously, he just mishandled the puck oh so badly. He basically just gave it away when the Finnish pressure was bearing on. Then that missed shot gave a breakaway.

 

[Enoch]

There is only so much you can do on a double disadvantage. Besides how can you defend against Sundin, Alfredsson, Naslund, Forsberg, Lidstrom, Modin...

Actually there was never a 5 on 3. It was 4 on 3 when Lidstrom scored. If he had scored about 5-6 seconds later, it would have been a 5 on 3 goal.

 

[mattihp]

Keep me updated on how the game goes numbers and such aren't much help for me who's carrying the game right now?

 

[Cole Caulifield]

What an awesome game, something seems to happen on every shift
