GDT: Canada v Finland (Gold Medal Game)

[Czechboy]

And Europeans wonder why the NHL wants their own refs at the Olympics

Do me a favor.. during the intermission.. go the the NHL part of HFBoards and pick any game day thread you want for any NHL playoff game. Then realize that half the thread is saying the refs suck. If you want a recommendation go the Canes vs Bolts one from yesterday.. about 15 pages of 'die ref die'.lol

hockey is the worst officiated sport in the world.. it's not a Europe vs NHL issue.

lol at the Canadian player wearing a mask in the penalty box. I don't know why I find that funny.

 

[agent082]

Ok. That was only 2 min. Maybe referee didn't see it.

 

[Zub]

Calm down ladies

 

[Jussi]

Canadian player tripped, no call, Finland with 6 players on ice no call. My God

Probably should've paid more than us for them.

That would hardly be any kind upgrade considering the norm level of whine about that here in this site.

 

[snipes]

The refs have already lost control of the game and it's halfway through the first.

Penalty minutes are 16-0 right now in favour of Finland lol.

Pretty crazy, I mean one is a 10 minute misconduct but still hilarious.

I'll take NHL refs over IIHF refs 10 times out of 10.

That has nothing to do with today's game.

Bunting is dumb as f***.

So are the officials, Finland has 6 players in a scrum. They clearly cant count.

 

[NyQuil]

Foudy has got to shoot the damned puck.

 

[ORRFForever]

It's been a scrappy game so penalties could have gone both ways. The refs have to be more even.

I think they do that if they get a 10 min misconduct

 

[jonu]

Last call is 100% on the Canadian player and not on the refs or Finns diving though.

Also there was a nice embellishment flip flop try by Canadian in the Finns end, why arent you complaining about your own players flip flopping?

 

[jj cale]

It's not time to panic boys, just kill this one off and get your emotions in check out there.

I couldn't tune in till just now. That was pretty much the first thing I saw, lol.

 

[mattihp]

Such a predictable PP.

 

[Hellraising Senator]

So far Finland can play with 6 guys, fake injury and get phantom calls. Embarrassing officiating. Shit is corrupt as hell everywhere in pro sports. Its maddening

 

[Canuckistani]

Finland will win this easily. Glad Canada made it this far since I assumed they were toast after game 3.

It's not corrupt, just incompetent, especially for a Final.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I don’t know what you implied I was saying. I was commenting on the fans who are here to comment in a way that ”this doesn’t even matter to me”.

no one said that except you

 

[Hellraising Senator]

Oh no. Its corrupt. Absolutely.

 

[mattihp]

I tuned in just after the finnish goal, saw two finnish penalties within five minutes that weren't called. Two, not five.

 

[jj cale]

Killed off, o.k........................let's close out the period strong.

 

[Zub]

That PP was hard to watch.

 

[snipes]

Finns allowed to play with 6 on the ice and we get another penalty for Antilla’s flopping, that guy is a total moron. Solid PK effort there.

Hopefully we regroup now and just play hard hockey. Can’t control the previous garbage reffing, just need to play hockey.
