5 ON 3 for Finland

 

[SmokeyClause]

What can we say. Referee is on USA:S side as allways.

Thank God for those refs. If they called it fair, I don't know what the U.S. would do. I mean, Finland would be on continual 5 on 3's if the refs called it evenly. Am I right? Judging by the incessant complaining, this appears to be the only logical conclusion one can draw.

Refs are not always on the American's side. Common sense would tell you that the opposite is more probable. Who is the most hated country in the world? It sure isn't Finland. Unless it's an American officiating crew, I can't imagine them leaning towards America. I think they work hard to keep it even, but if they are going to slant, they'd be more than happy to lean away from the U.S.

 

[gamera]

good grief another 5 on 3

 

[mattihp]

What?

Öhlund was taking a substance which is rarely used to mask doping prior to the 2002 olympics because of an eye injury.

 

[Steve L*]

everyone does that man... has NOTHING to do with being finnish.

Everyone does it in Europe, not so in NA.

4-2! freak goal.

 

[acr*]

Another 45 year old moron costs us a likely goal with a stupid penalty.

We should ban all guys over 30 for the enxt olympics.

 

[Jori]

4-2 Finland

 

[Puck33]

check the thread for that game...

He was just hoping some nice person would tell him the score.

 

[RangerBoy]

4-2

 

[DevilFisch]

Schneider, that was dumb. YOU KNOW you can't use your stick like that.

Come on Team USA PK!

Dang it! Everytime I type that, they score!

4-2!

I want to kick something!

 

[Jussi]

I don't know about any bias, but Devorski just sucks.

 

[Diaboli]

No they will win. Your team will win, but 'you' will not win. 'You' are not playing on the ice.

I can't stand it when people say 'we'.

We also say "it", when you say he or she.. so sue us

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiinlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We scored!!! Way to go we!!!

 

[gamera]

one in.....

I'm cheering for US, but have Finland in the pool. I'm a realist...

 

[Puck33]

The US PK is killin em.

 

[GKJ]

4-2 Finland, another goal for Peltonen

 

[Snap Wilson]

This is how Finland has been winning. Over half their goals in the prelims were on the power play. The U.S. has to stay outta the box.

 

[acr*]

****ing cheap goal bouncing off the top of the damn net...

Why can't we ever get goals like that our way?

 

[shawn_kemp*]

Lol

 

[Bloggins]

Go Finland! Hang in there.

 

[shawn_kemp*]

****ing cheap goal bouncing off the top of the damn net...

Why can't we ever get goals like that our way?

you got 2 yesterday. that's enough

 

[someguy44]

I'm 99% certain that Devorski is the same ref who called the Czech - Canada game. In that game, he called a hooking penalty on Blake even though it was Blake's stick that was being held by a Czech player. In this game, He does the same thing to Tkachuk.

In the Canada - Czech game, Devorski called penalty after penalty on Canada cause they were leading. Yeah, I'm sure it's him alright.

 

[Snap Wilson]

Crap. That's it.

 

[chiavsfan]

I swear, these refs need to stop handing the game to the US...oh wait, it's 4-2 Finland
