Game Thread: Finland vs. Canada

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Regulation tie puts Sweden in as the number one seed.

USA is the 2 seed. Winner of this is the 3 and loser is the 4

I cant handle another shootout again ... yesterday was enough!

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.

They're absolutely suffocating those guys. It's something to watch.

Extra ice?

No problem.

Eloco's 3 stars from the first 3 periods...

1- Tukka Rask
2- Drew Doughty
3- Sami Salo
(honorable mentions - Pihlström, Nash, Selanne)

 

[craigk217]

Ok Canada ... let's get this done in OT ... plz no shootouts!

 

[elocomotive]

Do you believe in slightly unlikely results?!?

 

[craigk217]

Ya ... I agree with one poster ... Finland might be playing for SO.

 

[pixburgher66]

Watch out for those guys on 4 on 4. Harder to suffocate a player with so much ice. Sid-Toews-JT...gonna make a difference.

 

[dash]

The ice is just crap right now.

 

[elocomotive]

Woah, close call there.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was almost the game. Very close.

 

[pixburgher66]

Oh man...that's a legal hit? Seriously? Looked horrible.

 

[craigk217]

Face meet Glass!!!

 

[element1286]

Yikes, guess Benn got some Karma for the previous board.

 

[Darkstone42]

That's another close one.

 

[dash]

How is that not a penalty on Kukkonen? Give me a break.

 

[elocomotive]

Wow - boarding and slash both let go. Ridiculous.

 

[craigk217]

OMG ... no stooopid penalties
