WC: GOLD: Finland vs Canada

[snipes]

I know the refs made mistakes, but I'm obviously happy about the gold.

Thanks for the Canadian fans who aren't just salty but also can give some credit.

You should be, your team won. It wasn‘t the fans that made the call.

It’s special to win it on home soil as well.

Congrats on the W.

Both teams fought hard to the final moment.

Olkinuora MVP

Well deserved. Incredible tournament for him.

 

[NyQuil]

Barzal had the only real scoring chance 3 on 3 in OT and he missed unfortunately.

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Feel bad for both canada goalies

 

[mattihp]

Hard to say if Björninen dived. You can easily fall when you have a stick between your legs. This was a memorable final. HYVÄ SUOMI!!

Björninen is also a guy known to take a beating for a win. Not the kind of guy to fall too easy.

 

[Finnswiss]

For the bad Canadian loser here: the penalty in OT against Canada was absolutely justified. The Canadian stick was between the legs of the Finn.

 

[Jimmy71]

Go home Canada we win

What number were you lol

 

[ffh]

Captain my Captain.

 

[DieselPig]

Congrats Finland!! Well deserved win in an exciting game!

He tried to play until the end tried to even grab Chabot by the leg.

To be fair Mikael Nord tried to shaft both teams. God damn that frasing on the coaches challenge could not have been more unclear if he tried.

How does misspeaking (as bad as it is for the IIHF's image) at all compare to calling an own high stick to create a 5-on-3 and missing an obvious trip in OT?

 

[snowkiddin]

Stfu, doesnt even matter if he dives or not. It's a clear penatly either way

If he dives, you call embellishment. So it still wouldn’t have been a PP.

 

[ORRFForever]

Pretty obvious dive.

Yes. Why do they need to play and ref like that? I don't get it.

 

[Kibe]

Yaaaaaah lets go party!!

 

[ozo]

I think I have never seen referee being so overwhelmed by the occasion. Horrible highsticking call aside, he was like a deer in headlights every time he had to announce something. Pathetic.

 

[Leafsdude7]

He tried to play until the end tried to even grab Chabot by the leg.

What do you mean "tried"? He DID, which knocked Chabot down and they didn't call it!

 

[Chimpradamus]

f*** these refs. Don't deserve anything.

But when the calls at crucial moments went Canada's way against Sweden it was all fine and dandy, right? Because when Nylander tripped a Canadian at 3 on 3, it wasn't a dive, right? But now it was? Because it was AGAINST Canada. Oh, I see!

 

[sakux]

Whew! It's a good thing Canadians don't care a jot about the Worlds. I can't imagine the amount of vitriol we would get if they cared.

Then why even participate? xD

This is more exciting than the stanley cuop

 

[TheGreatOne11]

This just truly makes me crave a real BEST on BEST tournament, damn you Bettman and DAMN YOU COVID robbing me of the last two.

 

[NyQuil]

No you are if you couldnt see that the goal was moved on Canadas second goal

Sure it did, but then it settled back down in its original position before the puck went in.

TSN showed the super slow motion replay.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That last call was correct you simply can't deny that, stupid by Chabot.

The hook was correct.

It was also a clear dive.

He dropped like a sack of potatoes, but not until Chabot had removed his stick.

we win the tournaments we care about

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Good for Finland. Nice to see them win on home ice. The call in OT was legitimate, and the Finns capitalized. Yeah, you could have called the player for obstructing Chabot immediately after, they also could have killed off the powerplay. Calls not going your way sucks, but part of the game, like anything else, you just have to play through. I'd probably care more if we had lost to Russia or the US, but I can't hate Finland or Sweden, they're still cool.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Incredible game with an incredible outcome!

Never met so much up and downs than in this game.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Chabot with the hook. The Finn with the dive.

Penalty called okay with this. Not calling a dive not okay with this.

Just a terribly officiated game that influenced the game. The phantom high stick call on Sillinger was the turning point. The Refs ruined the game.

Not blaming Finland. Congrats on the win. Canada showed no quit all tournament. Credit as well. The Refs with a solid F- today. And in a gold medal game. If this is the best Refs they have for a Gold medal game. Don’t know what to say.
