GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 03 • Group A: CAN (4) - FIN (2) F

[Critical13]

E Rasanen will be in the top 4 by the end of this tournament.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Homer referees. So sad. It would have been a great match.

Can you let me know where the Refs are from?

 

[Arto Kilponen]

How does the rule go about goal being in place when goal comes? There was absolutely no question whether goal was moved, but does it matter in that rule?

 

[Lowered Expectations]

Wake the f*** up boys

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Even if you don't like the goal call, maybe Finland shouldn't have let the forward get in alone like that with their stacked defense that we keep hearing about

The guy who made the mistake is literally the only non 1st rounder in the defense

 

[King 88]

Captain leading with example nice going f***ing idiot

 

[y2kcanucks]

Canada coming out very strong so far.

 

[Snippit]

Thomas with the assist on the Katchouk goal right?

 

[Dominance]

This tournament is a joke.

Lol, what happened? One call, that if you actually understand the rules regarding net displacement would realize was correct, and you’re done?

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Geniuses, the refs aren't Canadian. They purposely pick refs from other countries so that there isn't bias. Whether or not there was a mistake in the call, there wasn't bias.

 

[MackAttack26]

Surprised that first goal stood, bad call IMO.

But Finland needs to stay strong after that call. Letting in a goal right away after is all on them.

 

[Psych0dad]

1st goal was a ridiculous call

Nowhere in the world is that a goal. Basically it never crosses the line because the net is dislodged

 

[KrejciMVP]

Yeah those Russian refs love Canada.

but may dislike finland lol

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Can't start the WJ's much worse than Finland.. Woof.

 

[turkulad]

What can you say about that first goal... A bunch of something. Glad to know it's not only my white-blue-tinted glasses.

Välimäki, on the other hand, is who we can blame for the second one. Not a captain's response.

 

[Atoyot]

Actually it is. Hence why it was called a goal. But feel free to make up your own rules.

Hey man you're the one making the claim, the onus is on you to back it up. Show me the rule that says the puck can go in when the net is off and count.

 

[WhatWhat]

Tough play for Heiskanen there. Went for the hit but missed the guy open behind him

 

[SabresSharks]

Even if you don't like the goal call, maybe Finland shouldn't have let the forward get in alone like that with their stacked defense that we keep hearing about

Goalie should have skated out for the easy clear.

 

[agent082]

12 dollars and 32 cents.

(Canadian Dollars)

Ruskies are that desperate

 

[Hyack57]

I find it funny they will review a goal for countless minutes to see if the puck 100% completely crosses the line. Absolute 100% but with this goal it’s meh it was close let’s call it a goal.

 

[FinPanda]

1st goal shouldn't have counted. Stupid penalty from Välimäki after that though.

 

[ijuka]

It was a clear goal, they made the right call.

Fins are rattled and their captain is going nuts.

Clear goal? The puck never went in between the pipes. How are goals scored, again?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Homer referees. So sad. It would have been a great match.

The Russian referees are homers for Canada?

 

[The Red Line]

Unless the rules are different if you push a goalies pad and that makes the puck go in, it is not a goal.

Terrible call, are these refs Canadian?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Geniuses, the refs aren't Canadian. They purposely pick refs from other countries so that there isn't bias. Whether or not there was a mistake in the call, there wasn't bias.

Just because a ref is of a different nationality doesn't make a certain bias disappear. Some Russians hate Finns with a passion. Bad argument, but so was the original accusation of bias.
