Game Thread: Finland vs. Canada

[dash]

Dangerous late-period goal. Canada better watch out.

We could use the reigning Art Ross trophy winner and Norris trophy winner, alas both were scratched from today's game.

I cant believe sitting Subban for another game! Wow.

Me, being a B's fan, hate the prick, but damnnnn ... he's still a great hockey player and Canada could use some energy right now.

Are. You. READY!

impressed finland hanging in considering they are missing both koivus, filppula, and barkov

Rask can give up some softies ... but man he can make some brilliant saves too. Good with the bad.

 

[dare2be]

Rask is up to the task.

Fins on their heels right now. Great D from Canada giving Finland almost nothing in the O-zone.

Bergy needs to make something happen with Syndie!!!

Agree Elo ... this has been the most complete game I've seen Canada play so far ... gritty D and controlling the tempo/play. Just need to get it in the net ... Rask is tough.

Does Finland have an Immonen and a Timonen? That's confusing..

I'd like to see Weber mega-blast one for a 2-1 lead.

Yeah ... they do!

Yeah, I think Rask and Salo have both played GREAT games so far.

Lots of top Canadians virtually invisible so far. Best players have been Nash, Carter, and Duchene.

Not seeing much from guys like Toews, Crosby, or Tavares.

Two Jokinens as well. Only one Ruutu though.

 

[podsox]

Not much offense on either side in the first 10 minutes

Been a clean game so far, probably the cleanest of these Olympics.
