Sweden getting away with penalties.. Is NHL reffing in general this bad?

Yes.

 

[Chainshot]

Did ESPN claim Rantanen has gold medal from the 2016 men's Worlds? That would be incorrect.

They haven't mastered moving their cursor over the medals on Elite Prospects.

Who did Kakko draw in for? He wasn’t announced in the lineup.

I can't believe people have said these games are like All Star Games lol

Ridiculous

All the cool bros that spent 3 weeks and 30 posts telling how much they don't care about this tourney are probably glued to their TVs.

 

[Czechboy]

So tie game going into the third! BEAUTIFUL

Finland, your last 3rd period was awful. Learn from that!

I expect Sweden to come out flying.

Atta boy rantenen

Looks like Barkov took a puck on his ankle in a non-protected area, when he kicked the puck out.

 

[heksagon]

Yeah, Aho-Hintz aren't connecting

They go to the same areas and have trouble with positioning. The solution is so simple, but Turbo with Aho and let Hintz center Haula and Lehkonen.

Kakko-Barkov-Rantanen
Teräväinen-Aho-Granlund
Luostarinen-Lundell-Laine
Lehkonen-Hintz-Haula

There.

Putting Kakko on the top line was a good change from the coaching staff, but please do this change too!

Seen some the other way, holding the stick of swedish players so they can't take the puck

Refs will generally be more lenient towards a team that has taken a couple of penalties in a row. They're probably looking to give Finland a penalty in the 3rd to even it up.

no bias at all in all the games so far including this one.

 

[Chainshot]

Why does Wes McCauley hate Finland?

Maybe he thinks it's spelled Sheldon Kiiffe?

 

[NyQuil]

Hrudey calling Lundell the best 3rd line centre in the NHL.

Sweden getting away with penalties.. Is NHL reffing in general this bad?

No, it is usually even worse.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Barkov knee injury?

He just kicked the puck mid air it hit him in the ankle he ll be fine just a stinger

Hrudey calling Lundell the best 3rd line centre in the NHL.

Adam Lowry says hi.

Hrudey calling Lundell the best 3rd line centre in the NHL.

Might not be far off. I've heard the Panthers are a pretty good team.

Saros should be the obvious number one, unless his game keeps getting worse (which i don't think. Nashville is just a mess right now). For the 2nd and 3rd goalie it's a battle between UPL and Lankinen. Lankinen doesn't have a long track record though, but that might change in a year. UPL is already a starter and should only get better, so I don't see a spot for Korpisalo in the Finnish olympic team. Obviously that's just my thinking process.

Saros is in a rough patch for sure.. hoping he can get it turned around. I do consider him an elite goalie but it's not been great. Agreed, Nashville isn't helping the cause at all as they can't seem to decide what they are.. contender, rebuilder, retooler?

Emily Kaplan talking to Victor Hedman about steaks.....she tryna distract him? Get him hungry?
Dammit Emily....knock it off..

Oh wait...she asked about the "stakes"

(in my best Gilda Radner/Emily Litella voice) NEVER MIND.

This PP starting the period is very important to both teams. If Finland gets the control they can score, but can they get possession.

 

[Chainshot]

Who did Kakko draw in for? He wasn’t announced in the lineup.

Armia.

 

[Aashir]

Sweden getting away with penalties.. Is NHL reffing in general this bad?

tbh it is this bad

pp's are 2-1 finland, very high chance the next time a pp is called its for sweden or it's a must call (double minor, major, too many men) against sweden

finland is gonna have to find the next one at even strength

LTIR panthers hose job.

He probably won’t be a 3C for very long.

Lehkonen. I think it was a good change, 1st line was playing very different after that.
