That has to be a game misconduct on Granlund right? Finns are playing dirty.
 
That has to be a game misconduct right? Finns are playing dirty

How? The Swede is actually lowering his head against the Finn. That was stupid. Can you actually skate head first against another player and get the other player out? :D :D The Finn even tried to avoid collision. In NHL that would have been a no-call
 
He tries to grab the puck, then when he sees Swede he puts his hand down and swede skates to that
 
One single shot of the camera showed Granlund sticking his elbow against Holm in an active motion, so 5+ all right. Not like yesterday, when Voronkov was only supposed to get two minutes.

Look at Granlunds arm, it continues an upward movement after hitting Holms' head. Clearly intentional. He put extra force into it.

Seriously I recommend getting your eyes checked. Everyone can see that was an accident, those things happen in hockey.

The rules are rules, so game misconduct but no way that was intentional.
Can’t reason with you guys. Excusing every dirty finnish play. That was as clear as day. Dangerous and malicious.

More like Holm lowered his head and skated into Granlund who was actually trying to avoid contact. Check again
 
He actively moves his elbow upward towards his head to injure a key defenceman. It’s a suspension too.

Yes, actually as much malicious as the "Dangerous and unfair hit on the Swedish goalie" as you Aftonbladet says.
 
It was his elbow coming up at the end that did him. I think that was a natural reaction and it didn't go near the player but it made an accidental hit look worse. I can understand it though at least which is more than I can say for some of the other calls.

Still. Finland are not putting it together right now regardless of calls.
