GDT: 2014 Gold Medal Game • Sweden vs. Finland

[Bexx]

Yeah, everything's the refs fault... Why don't you PLAY hockey instead of just trying to defend your 1-goal-lead? Bout time you got punished for it.

Yeah, we really should be trying to do that. We don't have the paid referees on our side as you do...

 

[Juzmo]

If you are forced to defend most of the time, you will get tripping, hooking and holding penalties.

Yeah refs are forced to try to find anything possible to call.

Something tells me you'd be the first to cry foul if your team was penalized for half of a period.

 

[Malichek]

Sweden was better team and deserve their victory.

Yeah, the referees think that too

 

[tc 23]

Holy **** lol. Close call there

 

[EverybodyLovesRay]

hahaha dansk is so bad

 

[rduck1]

Certainly we're being outplayed, but it's pretty clear the refs have a preference here. Unbelievable.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

It doesnt matter the level of hockey, or the fanbases involved.

Someone will always blame the refs instead of looking at why their team keeps taking penalties

 

[kducks]

Finland should really stop taking penalties then.

Don't act like the Swedes have been playing perfect. They aren't getting called on anything.

 

[y2kcanucks]

most brutal reffing i have witnessed

Nah, Finland just needs to adapt.

 

[fittan]

aaaw, little brother. As always, its the refs fault.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

I'm still rooting for Finland and feel like they're still going to win this game. Saros is just too good he just needs to get the support from the other players.

+ Dansk looks shaky after the Finns mocked him after their 2nd goal.

 

[Sikhander]

Haha - Dansk!

 

[behemolari]

i've never seen such a refering in my life. just put tv off, have a nice day. congratulations sweden.

 

[natephil]

I have a $20 bet with a buddy at work on Sweden to win this game but I would rather lose that money and see Finland win this game. I have the biggest soft spot for them right now. Feel for them big time.

 

[masseman3]

It's always a shame to watch hockey game where the winner has been decided by the referees before the game even starts.

What is the Canadian flag doing there ?

 

[JFG]

Finland have played a negative style for the whole game. About time they got punished for it.

Agreed.

 

[Zippgunn]

Watched about 3 minutes of the game. Came in to see Finland defending it's fourth straight penalty and, when they had successfully done that, got another one for a very dubious call which, of course, led to the tying goal. Turned it off and now I don't care.

 

[Swedish playmaker*]

Reffs just ignored a penalty on the finns, because we have had 5 PP's in a row.

 

[Hedning]

Blame Canada & the Yodeller ... One of the refs is Canadian the other Swiss.

 

[QnebO]

That's what happens when you forecheck and have the puck a lot, the opposing team will take penalties. In even strength Finland hasn't had much at all going for them.

Even while that is normally true, Finland has been avoiding penalties very good in this game. The call that sweden scored on was nothing but corruption or huge mistake.

 

[Tompa8989*]

Damn i wish i was a gambler...I said when Finland had the 2-1 lead that Sweden were gonna win 4-2. It's either 4-2 or 3-2 to Sweden. You can take that to the bank.
That is probably what these have done...

 

[AwesomePanthers]

The officiating has been bad all tournament for everyone, no idea where they found these clowns.

Hasn't been that bad, just that you aren't used to international rules..

 

[LSnow]

Swedens tied = penalties stop coming? Wheres the consistency.

 

[Lynnx*]

Sweden needs to stop diving....
