GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 26 - Canada vs Finland

[Chimpradamus]

If I was Finnish, I would already have a cardiac arrest. The only solution is more kalsarikännit. I'm not working on monday, so this has been a kalsarikännit weekend for me, even when Sweden was eliminated. Still damn entertaining.

 

[NotCommitted]

Kaski was interesting choice. I would've picked Kakko or Manninen myself (if Manninen can take a penalty shot...) but I'm not gonna start whining about JJ's decisions at this point

I hope they had refs who are up to the challenge.

 

[Esko6]

Wtf a defenseman taking the penalty shot

He used to be a forward

 

[jj cale]

You guys should see the rulebook. That doesn't matter at all in IIHF rules

Some rulebook then, Chabot made a great defensive play, the Finnish player had the puck cleanly sweeped away off his stick and then the follow through on his skating through the stick took him down...........he did n't even have possession of the puck anymore.

No matter, shit happens in hockey games, the game rolls on.

 

[Jussi]

Shocked they didn't choose Kakko.

He wasn't on the ice.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What an embarrassing PS attempt

 

[Erikfromfin]

camoon Kakko had to take that penalty shot...

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

Rule 167 - Tripping
DEFINITION: A player who uses his stick, skate, leg, or arm to take the feet out from an opponent, causing him to lose his balance or to fall.
i. A player who trips an opponent by any means will be assessed a minor penalty.
ii. If a player chases an opponent who is in possession of the puck and lunges along the ice, first knocking the puck away with his stick and subsequently causing that player to fall, a tripping penalty will still be assessed (but no penalty shot will be awarded).
iii. A player who recklessly endangers an opponent by tripping will be assessed either a major and automatic game-misconduct penalty or a match penalty.

 

[Jussi]

Does Kaski have a reputation as a penalty shooter? Seemed like a very random choice.

Yes.

 

[The Drop]

I’d say that Finnish goalie is def getting a look in the nhl next year

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He wass't on the ice.

Doesnt need to be. Anyone on the team can take it

 

[king89]

We're even now.

 

[TimeZone]

He wass't on the ice.

They can choose any player, no?

 

[jj cale]

Cmon Reinhart, that should be automatic.

 

[Nexon]

Canada better than Russia so far.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice save!

No matter, **** happens in hockey games, the game rolls on.

Chabot literally sweeps the puck in the same motion as he is tripping the player, making knocking the puck away moot

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Kaski hasn't impressed me at all so far this tournament. Should've picked Kakko or someone else for that penalty shot.

 

[Sensin5]

Poor America referee - not too familiar with this whole "ice hockey" thing. Chabot clearly swept puck off stick first point of contact so no penalty shot. Worked out anyways, but abominably incorrect call - this clown belongs in the NHL!

 

[NinjaKick]

Lankinen shutting the door... good pressure from Canada

 

[48g90a138pts]

He used to be a forward

Cool

I was thinking Kakko / Kaski... maybe miscommunication on the bench. Cuz that's who I would have picked.

 

[jj cale]

Finn goalie looking on his game again early today.

 

[BB88]

There's just so much talent on that Canadas roster, one of these is going in.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Shoot at the REF!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Swedish commentator: "Severson with a slap shot... ooh, he was close to hit the referee there."

Sounds like Severson alright.

There's just so much talent on that Canadas roster, one of these is going in.

We've heard that for the entire playoffs playing against Finland.

edit: And there I jinxed it. Oh well, Canada wins.
