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

[Psych0dad]

Referee said to captain of Finland (according to Välimäki himself) that puck was in the net before dislocation.

That ref has to lose his job.

 

[y2kcanucks]

But doesn't the Russian referee delegate the right to make the call to that Canadian video referee?

No. Unless the video judge has enough evidence to overturn the call, the call on the ice stands.

 

[Prins Filip]

I didn't even hear Tolvanen's name in the little bit I caught of the 1st.

CAN D shutting them down?

Eeli did not ply that much in the practice tournaments and his C was out during the pre-games, so the line is probably just searching for chemistry right now. Also somehow he ended up with the puck to make the play during PP.

Love Canada's speed,, and their aggressive PK ... no time no space

Speed is definately the hallmark of this Canadian team.

 

[SI90]

Heponieni looks like is about 8 years old . Lol He’s fun to watch. Fast and skilled.

 

[Zybalto]

Apparently the refs told them that the puck was in the net before the net moved. If that's true, that's absolutely horrible.

Under the keepers pad? That's one hell of a guess by the ref.

Why is it always so awful at this tournament?

 

[KrejciMVP]

Playing the trap down 3-1 probably isn’t a recipe for success

Trap then counter attack?

 

[QnebO]

Swedish tv "Experts" = Swedish homers seeking for chances to rant on finnish kids at something. Its first period in tournament and those Dogs are already barking.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Speed is definately the hallmark of this Canadian team.

That and work ethic. This team keeps coming and it must be a nightmare to deal with

 

[Patrik Barkov]

People getting really hostile over junior hockey. Where's the christmas joy?

 

[Petrus]

i’m a straight male but Finland’s coaches make me want to write a Kris Letang-esque fan fiction about them

"50 Shades of Finnish Blue Cross"

don't make bad turnovers and leave your fate in the refs hands maybe?

 

[chauron]

I’ve said that on here before that he isn’t much of a creator and I got bombarded by Finnish fans saying he creates a chance almost every shift. Dont think so.

He's a stealth bomber type of a player, not Nathan MacKinnon Johnny Gadreau type.

 

[canuck2010]

I'd like to see the play at centre ice before the Katchouk goal. I thought there might have been a hold or hooking there as he broke for the puck. Happened pretty quickly so I'm not sure.

 

[agent082]

Finland's captain just said that referee told him after that review that it was a good goal because net was in place when puck crossed the line.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

That ref has to lose his job.

I just still think that
1) Referee finally makes the call the video referee tells him to
2) Video referee can review it multiple times and definitely should know the rules
so I don't think it is completely fault of referee

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Trap then counter attack?

There's no answer to the team CAN speed. They get to backcheck with 3 guys back and 2 guys from Finland in the breakout.

 

[rduck1]

As I see it, the problem in that period was hesitation. In all kinds of situations players were second-guessing and passing the responsibility to someone else. Need to be more decisive and try to make something happen instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. Also can't let adversity such as the bad call have that kind of massive impact on morale.

Nah, swedish experts are neutral

Swedish tv definitely cheer for canada lol.

It seems we Canadians are fiercely protective of our young.

Finland's captain just said that referee told him after that review that it was a good goal because net was in place when puck crossed the line.

RULE 98 – SCORING A GOAL/GOAL FRAME OFF
i. If a defending player displaces his own goal frame and the opposing
team scores a goal, the goal will be allowed provided:
1. The opponent was in the act of shooting prior to the goal frame
being displaced;
2. The referee determines the puck would have entered the goal net
had the goal frame been in its normal position.
ii. A goal will be awarded if a goaltender has been removed from the ice
for an extra skater and a teammate displaces the goal frame from its
normal position when an attacking skater is on a breakaway.
iii. The goal frame is considered displaced if:
1. Either of the two goal pegs is not in its respective hole;
2. It has come off one or both pegs;
3. One or both of the goal posts are not flat on the ice.
iv. For all other goal frames which do not utilize pegs, the goal posts
must be flat on the ice and on the goal line at the time the puck enters
the goal net for a goal to be allowed.
v. If the position of the goal net is altered in any way during game
action, play will be stopped if the goal net does not return to its normal
position. If the goal net returns to its normal position, game action
will continue.
vi. No goal will be allowed if the goal frame is displaced before the puck
crosses the plane of the goal line unless provided by Rule 98-i.

 

[jj cale]

That and work ethic. This team keeps coming and it must be a nightmare to deal with

I have a good feeling about them overall, think it can really push for Gold.

 

[Saekk]

don't make bad turnovers and leave your fate in the refs hands maybe?

What? That's absolutely Pejorative Slured take on that.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I would also like to see Finns answering the physical play. I was a bit afraid of our forwards getting smashed, and so far it looks like that's the case. Wish we had guys like Rantanen and Hintz this year.
