Here I'll summarize
I think this is a fair take on things. Yes the refs miss stuff every game but rarely does it lead directly to 2 goals for one team. On top of that having it be the championship game is pretty sad. The Heiskanen play, the Canadian player was crouched over making it near impossible for him to high stick someone and the back referee makes the call. The OT penalty, Chabot had his stick in there but that is a pathetic dive and not in the spirit of sport. Refs need to be better in overtime of the championship game.
Good one, but this whole post above was invalidated yesterday. You see, person who doesn't care, sees a thread like "Gold medal game Canada-Finland" and keeps scrolling.
The net was on the peg and the goalie was able to make a play on the 3-2 goal. There should have been an embellishment call in OT.
I don't mean the net was off, I meant that cross check that happened which should've been a penalty against a Canadian.
I don't think it was the actual goal that was the problem but that Heiskanen got crosschecked into the post right before.
I was talking about yesterday, but i guess it was just some of your "i don't care" friends who invited you to join the choir. "Yo goony let's make them know that we don't care"
I joined the conversation to make fun of Barzal and saw a bunch of people wetting their diapers over the Shane Doan Cup. They still are too apparently!
Not a given Finland would have scored anyways. A given was that embarrassing flop and the advantage it gave to one team. Horrible way to end a good tournament.
Not as questionable as that pathetic dive.
The "our Z team" and "this is the 2022 Ryan Smyth Invitational" are not mutually exclusive points of view.
The call on OT was correct, Chabot gave the refs a chance to call it and they did.
Sure it is. I mean it's just fantasy or wishful thinking at this point so I might as well give the hypothetical goal to Finland. Olkinuora with a 5-hole.
Strange comment considering the content of my post. No crying here just responding to the irony of your post. I should also keep in mind English is likely your second language. Perhaps you're just having trouble with understanding what I wrote.
I mean you haven't won one.... Ever... Right now Finland is quite clearly number 5 when you look at the rosters. There is only one best on best.... U18's/U20's are a specific age group where even in those not all the best players are available to participate. I admire how proud of a group of people you are and the passion behind hockey. It's great for the sport to have another country other than Sweden Canada Russia and USA pushing. But claiming you're the best when you've never won a best on best is a stretch.
First is pretty pointless argument because a) your Z team is still the strongest in the tournament due to the amount of your players and b) every other big country has their lower class team there.
Chances are high you get a penalty if you put stick between legs. Canada got away many calls earlier so maybe they felt they needed to whistle.
Grow up and stop being so easily hurt online
There's a difference of being hurt and pointing out childish behaviour. Well you are correct, pointless arguments should just be ignored.
The ref beside the play didn't call the high stick on sillinger but the ref 100 feet away did. Finland scored 2 goals on the phantom call and Deidger got hurt... Bad calls happen and Finland took advantage thats the sport but calling this an evenly reffed game is preposterous. Missed calls on both sides like always but I find it shocking/interesting the denial going on in the thread.
Someone who isn't hurt would just move on and post polite things like "congratulations on silver at the 2022 Petteri Nummelin Showcase" and move on
