GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 21 • QF1: CZE (4) - FIN (3) F/SO

[GigaChad]

Shootout = Finland loses

 

[BB88]

How many "tough" saves Kronerar has had in this game? Anyways, this kind of a game is always a nightmare for goalies = not a whole lot of shots, but every one of them is dangerous.

Plenty.

50 shots on net, 3 goals,
4 chances, 3 goals.

The offense isn't the only issue we have. Our defense has been great and helped Luukkonen a lot but he has to make a save or why is he there.

 

[Kaos Kommando]

Which also decides the game to the more undisciplined side, since they can commit penalties.. without penalties.
It's a flawed way of reffing, but at least if nothing gets called, the precedent is that the better team wins which can adjust to that

Yeah, not doing anything is doing something. Much prefer them calling it right.

 

[Soundgarden]

Ouch, don't like that.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

See what happens when you don't call anything?
You lose the handle of the game.

 

[kudymen]

Which idiot played the puck on kneeling Chytil?

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

You can't blow the whistle there.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Ugly play

 

[KrejciMVP]

that looked painful

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

You can't blow the whistle there.

You should be happy it wasn't called an elbow to begin with.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

No call? The ref was looking right at it.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

You should be happy it wasn't called an elbow to begin with.

I am, but either call that or don't call anything.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

You should be happy it wasn't called an elbow to begin with.

If that is elbowing, then standing around and taking a check is charging.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I thought elbowing someone in the face and injuring them was against the rules

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Ho boy.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Probably 5 times more than Luukkonen?

Watching the game helps, you wouldn't need to ask these questions. See the Kuokkanen save just a while ago for an example.

Watching the game = I don't see how Luukkonen is to blame. You are blaming a redirectioned shot on him ffs... something tells me you just seek a scapegoat here.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Finland was clearly a better team, but now it's all about penalties.

 

[DoubleGold]

We're dead.

 

[chauron]

Tight game as expected.

 

[Soundgarden]

Shootout, Luukkonen better be on his game if Finland wants to win this.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

We need the Miracle on Ice to win this one.

 

[DaJackal]

We're doomed. Doomed, I tell ya!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Czechs deserve to win it here. Let's go

 

[Critical13]

I feel like there could have been 4 or 5 penalties against Finland in that OT.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Finland takes this
