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

[George Maharis]

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

15 points, leading the tournament... but that's it.

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Bottom line is the ref was being a hero, typical ref behaviour making the game about themselves.

Oh please, it was just a personal misconduct. Hardly something that will decide a game.

 

[Merya]

Laine for GWG

 

[QnebO]

Kapanen owes his team one after that missed shot.

So does hintz after those 3 open chances.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Anyone have a clip of Kamenev misconduct?

 

[Saturated Fats]

I wish I knew more about the Finland/Sweden rivalry, man. Reading some of the posts in here, it seems like a fun one!

 

[m4tt145]

Refs can't handle it, Laine scores on PP after a weak call.

 

[Summer Rose]

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.

Linesman will escort a penalized player to the penalty box by default. He (the linesman) doesn't necessarily know it's a misconduct penalty at first.

 

[aphyro]

Could be. Speak good swedish too(with a finnish accent). Dunno if they speak swedish where he is from or not, maybe some finn could answer this?

Anyhow, I'm a fan of him now

Checked it up it was like 9% swedish speakers from Espoo or how its spelling

 

[Zybalto]

Predictions?

Svechnikov for Russia

Kapanen for Fins

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

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

This has not been said once.

 

[BB88]

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

We domnated most of the 60mins, hard to call penalties when you get nothing done in the 2nd for example.

 

[Tak7]

What about the missed icing call on Finland with 50 seconds left - linesman waived it off SO late, Russia were convinced it was icing, eased off

 

[Finnswiss]

OT not yet started?

 

[behemolari]

15 points, leading the tournament... but that's it.

17 points, equal now with Lindros, one from Jagr. Sadly he wont surpass him

 

[agent082]

IIHF rules record a game misconduct as 20 PIM. North American rules would record it as 10 PIM.

What?

 

[matzz]

You'd think Kamenev get's a long suspension from international play for injuring an official, I'm thinking Raffi Torres kind of length.

No way, that long...Torres is a headhunter and done it many times...Kamenev will get fine and about 5 games

 

[Whitesnake]

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.

Watching the replay, you see 1 ref saying to Kamenev that he was going to the box, so he was probalby going to give him a 2-min....then you see the other ref signaling to the penalty bench a misconduct....and then came the stick smashing when the original ref signaled him to go to the dressing room....so I guess both refs had it differently. And then they surely talked to each other and decided to "just" give him a 10-min.

 

[Phenomenon]

Kähkönen has been good, but not the God in the goal that we are used (Rask for example).

 

[JoeyBeans]

What are the ticket prices for this game?

 

[Gsus]

Refs can't handle it, Laine scores on PP after a weak call.

Open your eyes. All the penalties have been able to call.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Just let it end in OT. I hate when awesome games like this get decided by shootouts

 

[DenisSamson3]

If Russia wins this match, they really deserve it.

Thought it was luck. But atleast in overtime both teams start out from scratch.

 

[Jussi]

15 points, leading the tournament... but that's it.

17 points.

 

[Arthuros]

Kamenev gone for the game, huh.
