GDT: 9/20 - Finland vs. Sweden - 3 PM ET

[Lapa]

Most likely looked like an arm or elbow to the head to him. Has to stand up for teammate if no one else does.

That makes sense, but he has a habit of taking stupid penalties.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

we just can't finish. same problem as always

 

[helax]

"KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THEY CANT HIT" - This aint floorball! Clean hit and bad call. Finns should have PP

It is not like he has his head at waist height. It was a hit in the face, 2 min was correct

 

[Luolis]

Can we just ****ing score

 

[PTmbp13]

Nice bomb Lepistö.

avcually an amatuer hit. He didnt got there in tile so he should stayed away. He just got lucky they didnt take 2+2

 

[agent082]

Finns can't score to save their lives.

 

[Granlundwillshine]

Why does Granlund never play like this for the Wild?

He does in the playoffs.. i think hes just more of a big game player

 

[Iceman]

Can we just ****ing score

Koivu? Nah.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Yes the hit was clean. Not the nicest outcome though.

 

[BB88]

Lepistö what a trash player.

Your player made the mistake, you don't go head down there.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Play floorball much?

They showed Backlund with a clean cut over his nose. Just so you know, the nose is part of the head. Guess where the hit landed? Backlund wasn't hunched down that much either on the hit, it was just a too high hit.

 

[Steven1562]

Hank has been unstoppable tonight.

No, the hit was ok.

I agree. Often retaliates to clean stuff. Might be the pressure of being named NHL captain so young on a very young team

 

[BonAppleTea]

Why does Granlund never play like this for the Wild?

Because his team won't get thrown out the window if they lose

It was a clean hit, actually. His shoulder hit him in the head. That means that his head was down, which means it shouldn't be down.

This was on zone exit, the most obvious place for being hit. It's 100% the receiver's fault. Should have been 2min PP for Finland.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

There will be a global nuclear war but somewhere a rink will still stand and Daniel & Henrik Sedin will calmly be playing hockey together in the dark

 

[Mofletz]

Your player made the mistake, you don't go head down there.

They are playing with NHL Rules.

No hitting league.

 

[Hemsky001]

Lepisto what are you doing man?

 

[helax]

Lepistö lol wtf

Do you know why players yell HEADS UP?

 

[spacemanatee]

Gj on our clean hits, yes .

didn't mention whether it was clean or not, just stated the fact that you're good at giving opposition players concussions. much better than scoring goals.

 

[BB88]

Why did they skip Barkov line, we needdddddddddddddd to score.

 

[W75]

Most likely looked like an arm or elbow to the head to him. Has to stand up for teammate if no one else does.

Professionals call it a shoulder (Keke Rosberg's voice.. a Finnish F1 joke).

 

[Festinator]

WTF was that monstrosity they just showed on tv? is that legal?

...Nvm was just tortorella
