WC: GOLD: Finland vs Canada

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Canada usually doesn't take this many penalties. When Chabot took that silly penalty I felt like Finland was going to strike.

 

[mikkal85]

Irrelevant. You trip a guy, it's a penalty. If you're going to call a penalty in OT, you'd better make sure it's a clean one.

It is totally relevant. Guess what would have happened if Chabot never got a penalty? That is right. He would become a breakaway player.

 

[Belial]

1 bad call and all Canadian fans are discrediting the win, classy!

Is this a joke? That bad call allowed the Finns to score twice and took out Canada's starter! That's huge! It's not just a lil bad call.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Jukka Jalonen, you know, is pretty good coach.

There is kind of pattern there, you know.

Of course, he didn't make it alone, but he was The Didact.

Some may say that this Jukka Jalonen guy isn't the worst coach of all time.

 

[Jyri]

I guess they needed Finland to win to help grow the game or some BS. Rigged tournament

Rigged like u.s elections.. hah...

 

[notbias]

Ha! I just remember the 1998 and 2006 Olympics fondly. Just remember, Finland is missing some guys due to the NHL playoffs so this isn't their strongest team.

This team has 0 players I'd have on Canada's Olympic team... I don't think the nations are close, Canada B beats Finland A.

Once again, congrats to Finland.

No, it's not. The rulebook does not say "trips are allowed if you were just knocked down" or "trips are allowed if you just drew a penalty".

Tripping is a penalty if you trip a guy. Period. Björninen tripped Chabot. It should have been called.

 

[karhukissa]

Finland has medals from all Olympics where NHL players were present (1998, 2006, 2010, 2014) except for 2002.

Facts are boring, point is that we shouldn't even have to play any kinda tournaments. Just give trophies to Canada and we're all gucci.

 

[Jussi]

This tournament is 2nd rate
Have a real world tournament and Finland would be lucky to finish (no pun intended)
5th at best

Like a tournament that's only done an paper?

Irrelevant. You trip a guy, it's a penalty. If you're going to call a penalty in OT, you'd better make sure it's a clean one.

Like Nylander's? But the Canadians were silent ... all crying over one penalty for a high stick. LOL.

 

[Oxbow Lakes]

Seriously, I did NOT expect some canadian fans to be this mad about the loss. I mean I get it, the reffing was terrible all game, but still. Really weird to see.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Whinging about the refs is always cringe. We'll get 'em next year you cry babies.

 

[robertocarlos]

This is taking salt to a new level,

But as a swede, damn you Mikael Nord for bringing embarrassment upon swedish hockey even after the team is out.

People make mistakes. The mistake is not being able to review the call so that a mistake can be corrected. The rules need to be changed a little bit.

 

[larek]

Finland has medals from all Olympics where NHL players were present (1998, 2006, 2010, 2014) except for 2002.

And they would be lucky to get. Bronze even if they had the reffing they had today

 

[Leafsdude7]

Like Nylander's? But the Canadians were silent ... all crying over one penalty for a high stick. LOL.

Whataboutism is uncool.

 

[llwyd]

Bad reffing is a feature of IIHF hockey, we have often suffered from it and everyone has basically told us to man up and stop crying. Finland never gave up and fought hard and skated like hell. A well deserved gold!

 

[Jugitsu]

It is totally relevant. Guess what would have happened if Chabot never got a penalty? That is right. He would become a breakaway player.

No he wouldn’t have gotten a breakaway. He got tripped by Björninen right after.

 

[SML2]

Why wasn't that cross check called on Josh Anderson? Who cares about the post, he freaking buried the dman.

 

[robertocarlos]

Seriously, I did NOT expect some canadian fans to be this mad about the loss. I mean I get it, the reffing was terrible all game, but still. Really weird to see.

Immaturity or the high pressure of modern life.

This team has 0 players I'd have on Canada's Olympic team... I don't think the nations are close, Canada B beats Finland A.

Once again, congrats to Finland.

Canada B doesn't beat Finland A before they have played. Brazil wins Germany every time aswell in soccer, because they have better players. Also England beats Netherlands every time with their B team. You understand why that argument is pointless?

This is professional sports and team game. It's not something you play in your mind or on a paper. Obviously Canada is the best country in hockey, but they could lose to any country in major tournament too.

 

[DoubleGold]

There's a war in Europe and people are getting this heated about sports? Get a grip, it's only hockey.

Well played Canada, you're always a worthy opponent!

 

[Cinderblox]

You realize Canada has a much better economical situation than Finland, right? And the average Canadian lives a much better life than the average Finnish person? And Finland is begging to join NATO

f*** off with your politics bs on a hockey forum

 

[KingAlfie11]

I want to congratulate Finland on their win, it was a heck of a game between two very good team! And also congratulation to Canada on a amazing tournament. I have to say that Canada showed a lot of heart and determination in coming back in this game. Those 3 penalties at the start of the 3rd was the difference in this game. Very proud of Canada they never gave up!

 

[Snowsii]

And they would be lucky to get. Bronze even if they had the reffing they had today

We have done better than that, even beat you guys then

 

[mikkal85]

No, it's not. The rulebook does not say "trips are allowed if you were just knocked down" or "trips are allowed if you just drew a penalty".

Tripping is a penalty if you trip a guy. Period. Björninen tripped Chabot. It should have been called.

Björninen was not "knocked down". He was tripped. Refs usually look at the who would benefit the most from breaking the rules and it is usually the team which breaks them first. Björninen's tripping on Chabot didn't even matter because Chabot already had penalty coming. Also like I said. Chabot would never have been tripped if he didn't trip Björninen first.
