GDT: 2016 Gold Medal Game • Russia vs. Finland pt 2

[Temego]

Idk what to think about Kamenevs penalty, kinda feels like the team should be penalized also in that situation. I mean, you can just attack officials in the last game of the tournament cause you obviously wont miss any games?

 

[Finnpin]

Money is on Kapanen. He has been their best player all tourney, according to their fans. Go prove em right Kasper!

Is this Canadian humour or sarcasm?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Ya that Leafs prospect has been the best.....not Laine or Jesse. Defnitley the leafs prospect.

He plays for the Leafs? Even better!


It was a joke, calm down! from day 1, Fin fans were claiming he is trash and should have been left home - has never done anything significant for the country, yadda yadda. Reverse praise - get the goal kid!

 

[Lyons89]

I would guess he got the misconduct for swinging his stick at a Finland player after Finland scored and went by their bench to celebrate

 

[Gsus]

Watch the replay. He got a 10-minute misconduct BEFORE he smashed his stick. He actually got nothing for slashing his stick.

I meant the game misconduct ofc. That was right, should've got more tho.

 

[Proust*]

LOL, wishful thinking.

 

[DenisSamson3]

Most people are biased in this thread. Great to be a neutral watcher with nothing to lose lol.

 

[Shark Finn]

Kapanen owes his team one after that missed shot.

 

[Antonglk]

Seriosly, Finns, you think that refs didn't help you? Last call was deserved though. And refs didn't call a lot against Finns.

 

[Tak7]

Kamenev got the misconduct before the stick smash, not before.

Pretty blatantly obvious for anyone who watched the replays.

Fairly lucky to not get an extra 2 for the smash - good refereeing?

 

[FinnBruin]

Watch the replay. He got a 10-minute misconduct BEFORE he smashed his stick. He actually got nothing for slashing his stick.

So if it was a 10 minute misconduct at first already, then why was he going to the box in the first place? Surely the refs then should have sent him to the locker room, not the box.

 

[canwincup]

Then check yo head foo.

Bias will be bias

 

[OG]

Time for Aho to win yet another big game in OT!

 

[Summer Rose]

I still haven't seen one person explain what the initial penalty was.

Not even one of the commentators.

It's gotta be something he said. There are things a player can say (or do, but if it was something he did we'd have presumably seen it) that'll get you a straight 10.

 

[Sher-Wood]

Kasper Björkqvist is gold on Swedish TV.

Is he of swedish decent? His name sound swedish.

 

[sansabri]

My prediction is: Aho with the GWG.

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Lol, the announcers said "The officials are cuddling."

What a game so far! Laughing at all the people yelling 'waaah refs!' at the end by default without even knowing what's going on.

Russia persistent ********! My hat off to them for playing to the last second, once again Absolutely brilliant.

Hoping a lucky bounce/bad break won't decide this one.

At a official in penaly box..the official started to bleed

 

[Breezer12]

Lmao what? Laine and Puljujarvi have been far and away their best players. Kapanen has been good though...

There's no way Puljujarvi has been the best player. Nice assist but that's it

Leafs humour *

 

[Whitesnake]

Not even one of the commentators.

Clearly a comment he made. Yet, you see Kamenev asking Why? Why? repeatedly. But clearly he made a comment....but was it big enough for 10 minutes? In the last 2 minutes of a gold-medal game?

 

[IamherefortheFinn]

Either way this game is going to our sports history! It will be a classic in good or bad.

But who is the one who will be remembered for the game deciding goal?

Very entertaining tournament!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Refs have been good in this match.

 

[Phenomenon]

And Kamenev/Russia didnt get a penalty after he slashed officials fingers off? Wow

Team Finland should get over the bad penalties and continue the game they played in the third period. Finland was dominating the game and the Russian defenders look tired. Continue the same way and there will be a win.

Call what?
