Wild World Championship TSM: Finns with the Finish

Canada vs Finland

First Period

• Early power play for Canada is a great chance to get the game off on the right foot...If they can get anything going...
• So naturally they don't. Oh Canada.
• Uh oh...
• Look. I'm glad that Canada scored. But I still am having a hard time rooting for Pageau.
• Boy both teams sure are having a hard time in front of their own nets.
• I am deeply underwhelmed by the goal-tending...sorry Curtis. On the other hand, Canada, don't screen your own goalie.
• STOP IT, CANADA.
• UHGGGG.
• Look. I did not expect YOU to be the team that let me down today.
• Kuemper in nets.
• I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that the current score (3-1) is what Denmark beat Finland by the other day. (I know, I know, Finland got re-enforcements after that but shhhh.)
• Either way, though, Connor McDavid is an absolute delight to watch. How spoiled is Edmonton to watch that every game.
• Wow. It's not every day that Darnell Nurse is made to look short.
• Well that was a lousy first period./

Second Period

• Canada, you HAVE to capitalize here...
• Also, every time they mention Riikola, all I can think of is the Ricola commercial.
• Really? Really Canada?
• That was a pretty great kill. Nice short-handed look from Schenn and Nuge.
• Canada looking much, much better half-way through the second.
• I spoke too soon.
• At least that was a good kill
• Oh Ekdad...
• Well, that was a much, much better second period than the first...not that that's saying a whole lot./

Third Period

• Well, a rally isn't entirely out of the question, but I'm certainly not counting on it at the moment.
• Uh oh. Friendly fire.
• Oh come on Canada.
• Seriously?
• Ok the wheels have come off the bus.
• First Tolvanen, and now Teravainen. Oh my.
• Well, I guess Canada will NOT be leapfrogging Denmark today.
• Oh Connor.
• Canada kills off the double minor.
• Just to add insult to injury, one last power play for Finland.
• Hahaha except that then Finland takes a too many men call.
• Oh Canada.
• Wow that was bad.
• Canada falls 5-1./

Highlight of the Game

Kuemper to Tolvanen. Oh my!

Kuemper gives the puck away, right on the tape of Tolvanen. He makes no mistake on where to put it #CANvsFIN #IIHFWorlds pic.twitter.com/sNP0u1kYqs
