Game Thread: Finland vs. Russia

[dash]

Oh and for those of you wondering when that Russian defense would be exposed, it's been exposed in this first period.

That was a great changeup by Teemu (almost fanned completely on that shot)

What a response from Finland after giving up the first goal of the game on the PP. 2-1 after one period.

Russia seems more concerned with trying to draw a penalty than they are with trying to win battles. I like their aggressive game so far though. They just need to see some results. Finland has to capitalize on those powerplays though, because Varlamov isn't going to let in shots like that all night.

Oh, thanks. I think yours is great, dare.

Russia has been going for some homeruns. Could bite them on a counterattack.

 

[quoipourquoi]

He needed that one. In this country, in this game, he needed that one.

Did Hughson just say Rask was equal to the task? Nice stop on OV.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Oh, fuck that. You're bleeding because you threw him to the ice.

Two epic flops there

 

[hokiehi21]

[quoipourquoi]

Huge goal.

Granlund!! 3-1 Finland.

 

[RegentDenali]

Wow. Russians in big trouble right now.

 

[evolver115]

Ruh-roh

Ovechkin's missed opportunity is looking bigger. Plenty of time for him to redeem himself.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

This must be the 'enigmatic' Russians I have heard so much about

 

[dash]

Putin is not pleased.

How's my boy Maatta been doing? I can't stream at work.
