When you say you got the stream working, do you mean the Czech stream? I am on the Czech stream, but it is a slide show with frozen screens, then jumping to live action for a few seconds before the screen freezes up again. Are you on a different stream, or is the stream working better for you than it is for me?

[Fin9]

Too bad Kulmala is only 5`8, if he was 2-3 inch taller he would be a really good prospect

[slovakiasnextone]

Still getting the server not found message, even in Safari.

[Jussi]

3-0, stream started lagging, no idea who scored.

[Fin9]

mustonen

[RKC]

Mustonen with 1+2 already. Haapala 0+3.

[Tuomaz]

Slideshow again...

[Fin9]

czechs score, stream is unbelivable laggy right now

[Jussi]

Czechs score, Simon?

[Tuomaz]

What a horrible rebound

[Fin9]

96 born vrana with the assist and seriously ghostbusters theme?

[Hockeyfrilla]

swedish PP is meh.

[YARR123]

Stream is lagging so much it's almost not worth watching. Czechs gaining momentum after couple penalies for Finland

[therealdeal]

For those in Canada, the USA Canada game is on TSN at 2 eastern. Finally I get to watch one of these games!!!

[Fin9]

my stream went down.

[Stanleyjub]

33:20 10 min SWE 13. TORNKVIST Tobias Abuse of Official by Players/Team Officials

what happened there?

[YARR123]

Rasmus Kulmala with the hattrick. Indeed a pity he's so small.

Yeah, it's such a shame. Why are all the Finns midgets anyway ?

Dont know maybe start weightlifting too early? Its so weird that Finland is one of the most tallest countrys in the world avarage almost 6 ft, then most of our prospects are like 5`7 - 5`9 hobbits

[Jussi]

Hudecek scored to make it 2-4.

I think it's still the fact that small players are generally faster and more skilled at a younger age while the tall players generally have gone through a fast growth spurt and thus are slow, lanky and have bad motor skills. In these situations coaches should give the talented tall guys (even though slow and lanky) more icetime instead of making them play as grinders.

Luckily we are now producing big defensemen, but the forwards are still generally too small.

I think the biggest problem has been that the coaches don't know how to develop the taller players who are going through growth spurts.

[Jussi]

Stream hasn't lagged for a long while now.

[RKC]

That was an absolute beauty of a pass from Teräväinen. Too bad linemates couldn't finish.

[Haite]

Markkula scores from face-off, Barkov must've gotten his first assist now
