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

[BusQuets]

It was the american reff making most of the calls not the Swedish one.

 

[Nordic*]

Henrik Sedin is the PPQB.

Blue-liners are extremely important on the PP, even if a center is holding the magic wand. If this PP-unit played a seasom together in the NHL, their PP percentage would probably be over 33%.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Sequence.

Dude I know he meant that, just like marking words

 

[Lempo]

Officials:
Refs:
27 Eric Fulatt
30 Tobias Bjork

Linesmen:
89 Henrik Pihlblad
63 Andreas Malmqvist

Not that I personally care, but as the matter came up.

 

[Jussi]

YLE had some audio issues during the Olympics but they got them sorted out eventually (and it was never this bad). A full period with the same issue is just embarrassing.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Funny enough is I believe 2 of the officials ARE Swedish

Linesmen are Swedish
Ref #2 Tobias Björk is Swedish, he got thrown out of the 2015 world championships after a bad call on Komarov that cost Finland the game.
Eric Fuhr, the other ref, is French Canadian and works in the NHL

It seems like they have agreed to give lots of powerplay for home team.
On the side note, Jussi Jokinen looks bad

 

[Chimpradamus]

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.

He did and he was really solid. Didn't allow a goal and looked dominant in the 1.5 periods he played. It might be a more fun season for Vancouver this time around.

 

[psycho_dad*]

The game in Finland only had 2 finnish linesmen.they didn't hand out penalties.

 

[Plub]

2 shots...

 

[teravaineSAROS]

You should probably take more swedish classes

I had MVG in Svenska C i gymnasiet bre.

 

[Sorey*]

Funny enough is I believe 2 of the officials ARE Swedish

1 american 1 swede. Last game was 1 American 1 finn

 

[Rodzilla]

Controversial call, thought we were playing with NHL rules.

It was a clear boarding to me in full strides. Just IMO.

 

[QnebO]

Ref show so far. Refs ruined the whole period, looking forward to the game to actually start. Still 0-0 as the results dont matter anyway.

No. One of the officials were finnish. Check the official stats

 

[PG Canuck]

That's great to hear, hopefully he can steal a couple tournament games, but with Lundqvist it might be unlikely unless Lundy falls completely on his face.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Yeah, no chance Markström plays a minute in this tournament as long as Lundqvist is healthy. Markström is solid, but Lundqvist has been a world class goalie for a decade. Wrong country to play for I guess at this time.

Just that I don't feel worried as a fan if Lundqvist can't play - for whatever reason - is a tribute to Markström. He looks really solid.

 

[Murky]

Not in anyway different from what it was the other night. Well, apart from the fact that the Swedes also got a completely good goal taken away.

 

[Nordic*]

Don't understand.

Which call(s) have been obviously wrong?

 

[Lempo]

Granlund has loaned his playbook to Laine.

 

[Flick of the Switch]

Don't understand.

Which call(s) have been obviously wrong?

Haula Komarov Ristolainen all softies. Not a problem though, good to get a lot of PK

 

[Jussi]

And now the audio is behind...

 

[Lempo]

And now the audio is behind...

So on the average we're fine.

 

[Flick of the Switch]

And now the audio is behind...

Oh my god.. It's not quite as bad as it was ahead but it's a couple seconds behind. Cmon tech fellas it can't be so bloody hard

 

[Sorey*]

Finland does not impress me. Sweden D is godful
