GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 21 - Canada vs Sweden

[Zaar]

You guys sure it was a dive? Missed it.

He was slightly touched with the stick somewhere at his chest and grabbed his face as if he was going do die ...

Canada has outplayed Sweden this entire game, not a stretch to think they'd win at that rate. [MOD]

I don't care if Canada was the only team to touch the puck the entire game, if they won because of a goal that was the result of a cheat its not a legitimate win in my book. As somebody said here before - luck has a place in hockey, dives do not.

 

[D0ctorCool]

It's one play in a 60 minute game. You just have to accept it and move on.

 

[PTmbp13]

Really starting to disappoint me how much hockey is turning into soccer

true. Sad. It easy to fool refs sometimes. Disgraceful but some dont mind as long as they win.

I see. Doesn't sound too good.

 

[Semantics]

Not only was it an obvious dive, but he was shown laughing about it on the bench after. Sorry but this guy is a disgrace. Canada has enough great players that don't cheat that we don't need this idiot on our team.

Send him to Siberia because he smiled after his team scored! I mean jesus man it was a brutal dive but come down from 10.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Konecny should be banned from ever representing Canada again after that. What a ****ing joke, I really hope if Canada wins it's by more than one goal, because that should not be a deciding factor.

Real Canadians are better than that. Konecny is a national embarrassment.

Lol this same person used to argue that Bracco and Timashov were better than Konecny.

Finnish hockey best hockey

you like to watch trap and slow hockey?

 

[Luolis]

Well atleast it isnt the same kind of steal as 2014 finals were

 

[Phil McKraken]

M8 Sweden out played Canada in the first period. And your goal is a product of a cheat.

Meh, let's be honest, Canada has clearly been better than us overall, and our goal was lucky. Canada should definitely be on the scoreboard but the way it happened is annoying.

 

[BlackDogg]

Next dive wins

I just like to watch my country play hockey, im not picky about the style of it

 

[Porkleaker]

Won't deny it . Our defence is our main problem. But our offence is the most entertaining out of all teams.

Canadian offense could be way way way better but lots of them didn't play on the team this year.

 

[FFHockey]

And will something happen to that movie star after the game? A suspension? A fine? Even an symbolic one? Nope, nothing.

Can a hockey federation do their job for once?

Easy there...not the first time there's been embellishment, won't be the last. I agree that was a brutal dive/call and made even worse by Canada scoring, but really?

 

[snipes]

Canadian and Swedish hockey isn't as exciting as Russian hockey.

Canada v Russia games are almost always classics

Yes, Russia better get used to loosing unless they improve the defense and start playing like a team.

Canada vs. Russia are the ultimate games. Indeed.

 

[masseman3]

Say what you will, but I'm quite impressed with the way the Canadian diving team plays hockey. Surely they prepared well.

 

[BlackDogg]

Some games you just don't want to end due to the end to end action - this is not one of them.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Yes, Russia better get used to loosing unless they improve the defense and start playing like a them.

Oh they will. I'm sure better defensemen will come along.

 

[syz]

This game's been a bit of a sleeping pill. Plenty of "big ice shots" from the perimeter that have no chance of going in.

 

[nothingbeatshockey]

Watching soccer is an absolute joke with all the diving. Until the NHL and IIHF take embellishment seriously, and stop doling it out only when accompanied by a minor on the other team, there's little reason for the players to stop. Today's dive was a perfect example of what happens when you get away with it. All return and no risk.

Lol...leafs fans hate Konecny since the draft and were saying Bracco is better anyways.

How is it possible player such as Joel Lundqvist made this Swedish team? I saw he had 51 games 9+17 this season in SHL.
