GDT: Game 19: Finland Vs Switzerland | 1PM EST 7PM CET | SUI 5 - 2 FIN

[BusQuets]

Why? Defenseman have let the Swiss shoot freely on all goals.

Because goals shouldnt happen where they shot those 2 goals.

 

[Hinterland]

Penalty?

Of course...they're not gonna stop, aren't they?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Why? Defenseman have let the Swiss shoot freely on all goals.

1st goal is a D man mistake fully.

2nd is bad positioning and an unlucky deflection that makes the save close to impossible.

3rd is bad positioning and bad defensive play. Thomson didn't need to pivot and stop movement towards the shooter.

Sure, Justus doesn't normally give out easy goals quite in this way, but he's not the lone player to be blamed in this game or after it. But he will be getting the most heat for being the goalie.

 

[Jussi]

Why? Defenseman have let the Swiss shoot freely on all goals.

Because this is HFBoards and this is the way.

 

[SpinninRodIntoArmpit]

Bring Canada in QF, my body is ready.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Hey, another penalty powered by Sweden

Bring back Vinneborg... there was legendary referee

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Bring Canada in QF, my body is ready.

I'm ready for the firing of Raipe as well. The team hasn't shown that they can defend in any point in any game of the tournament well.

 

[Jussi]

Well he's gone anyway after the tournament so makes no sense.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Shh don't tell anyone else I like to pretend that there are stakes for him to play for

Tomi Kallio interview on SVT.

 

[Jussi]

We'd face USA with these scores.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Tomi Kallio interview on SVT.

Was he a fluent swedish speaker?

 

[SpinninRodIntoArmpit]

We'd face USA with these scores.

Oh damn you're right, I mischecked the point totals before the games. Perhaps Finland'd be better off winning this one then.

 

[Hinterland]

How many more soft bs calls in the third? 3-4 at least? Drinking game might also be an option but we'd probably be drunk before new year

 

[Canada4Gold]

IMO Russia is better than the USA so the loser of this game is better off I think

 

[Phil McKraken]

Was he a fluent swedish speaker?

Yes, he played in the SHL for a long time.

 

[Hinterland]

Not a good turnover...Charlin bailed them out again. Good block from Aebischer before that...good to see him improve defensively.

 

[Czechboy]

I can't imagine the American's and Russians are very comfortble right now...

 

[Opak]

IMO Russia is better than the USA so the loser of this game is better off I think

From what I've seen of Group B, I don't think either of these teams will advance from the QFs.

 

[Hinterland]

Need to have another look but that looked like a boarding to me...

 

[FinPanda]

I can't see us winning even Germany so good that this ends soon.

 

[Prntscrn]

Yes, he played in the SHL for a long time.

Now I might sound like an arrogant Swede but Isn't Åbo/Turku where he is from one of the places in Finland where a lot of people actually speak Swedish/some swedish?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I mean I usually like the Fins but the Swiss are being plucky

 

[Opak]

Now I might sound like an arrogant Swede but Isn't Åbo where he is from one of the places in Finland where a lot of people actually speak Swedish/some swedish?

Turku/Åbo is officially a bilingual city. This is mostly due to the swedish speaking minority, which is present all over coastal Finland.

 

[Hinterland]

So for two periods they keep on making up calls just to let everything go in the 3rd? Weirdest refs ever
