GDT: Exhibition • Sep. 10 • SWE vs. FIN

[DoubleGold]

Yeah, real smart play on that boarding call! He plays too much on the edge for my tastes.

Controversial call, thought we were playing with NHL rules.

 

[Eye of Ra]

sweden was playing physical the whole period, nice too see.

 

[Nordic*]

Vancouver fans gotta like this.

Yeah.

But Vancouver doesn't have #65 or #23 on the backend, feeding them pucks.

I still see them getting around 70-80 points this upcoming season.

 

[BusQuets]

This is even more of a practice game than the one before. Looks like the guys are not even skating. Atleast the Finns.

Finns are skating a lot harder than the Swedes..

 

[Mestaruus]

Felt like they maybe finally fixed the sound out of sync issue at the end of the period? Never going to order that Viasat thing. What a bunch of amateurs. Full period sound out of sync by 3-5 seconds.

This has been PK practice the whole game.

 

[PG Canuck]

Henrik Sedin is the PPQB.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

If the refs made one or two huge mistakes in Finland, this is just a frigging embarrasement to the whole country of Sweden. What a disgrace.

Are the refs Swedish?

Good to see that the powerplay is working. As someone said, Loui scored an identical goal against Finland in the 2013 whc with assist from Henrik.

Finlands powerplay look a lot better this game. Try to stay away from the penalty box and we have a good chance of winning this!

 

[BB88]

Warmup games should not be this broken, this does absolutely nothing for Finland or Laine who needs the minutes the most.

 

[kitsumo]

Finns are skating a lot harder than the Swedes..

Well it's not like swedes seem any better than last game but rather finns just seem worse.

Legit penalties in my eyes. Who cares about the outcome of this game? I care about no injuries and that's it.. Good practice for the PP and PK as well.

 

[Your old Jofa helmet]

Love Loui, one of my all-time favourite players, so underrated, yet smart and lethal when needed. Exceptional on the PP and in the crease. And always turns up for Sweden, always elevates his game.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Yeah, Rackell out (sick)

Allright, thank you

 

[psycho_dad*]

Reffing was a bit off but Finland didn't make it any easier for themselves . Filppula took a bad one, Haula took a stupid one. Rest were questionable penalties for Finns.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Are the refs Swedish?

edit: yes, tobias björk

Some guy named Björk replaced the Finnish ref for this one. I assume he's a Swede. Totes okay after the last one, but on the whole they really should have a third country refs.

You should try Viaplay, they always lag about 40-50 seconds behind the broadcast. I absolutely hate this broadcaster, even worse than MTV3's Katsomo.

 

[Chimpradamus]

This tournament will be huge for some players heading into the NHL season - for example, the Sedins and Eriksson are working out their kinks and tendencies in this tournament and by the time the NHL season starts, they'll feel a month or so into the season because they've been playing together so much.

Not only that, I feel Markström can be a real contender for the starting position with Miller. He looks really solid in net, he has developed his game alot. He's mobile and knows how to use his size. This is the first time I don't feel worried if Lundqvist can't play for the national team.

 

[illone84]

Loving the physical game from both teams! Let's hope Finland comes back and make it a hockey game.

Funny enough is I believe 2 of the officials ARE Swedish

 

[Murky]

The reffing is as bad as it was in the last game. Only this time the tables are turned.

Sweden is starting to look ready. They had Finns right where they wanted them on even strength, too.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Yeah I dunno what's up with these refs, guess they want to warm up for the big tournament as well. How have the refs been in the other exhibition games? Just as bad as the Swe-Fin games?

 

[Sorey*]

Last game Reffing were 8 penalties for sweden and 3 to finland. It is payback now.

Markstrom has been a pleasant surprise and may be living up to his hype from years back a little bit - he just needs more games and more experience and he could develop into a nice starting goalie.

Did he start in the game the other day? I missed it.
