GDT: Group A - May 11 - Slovakia vs Finland

[kudla]

They were revieving the hooking from Studenic, but it was not enough to be clasified as "hooking". Good call

 

[FinPanda]

It was a good goal, nothing wrong with that one.

 

[FiLe]

Good goal. It's possible Jalonen was simply looking to kill Slovakia's momentum.

 

[f1nn]

I must say I can't remember the last time the Finns have looked this organized and well coached, must have been the last time Jalonen was at the wheel.

I haven't always agreed with Jalonen over the years and I've given him a lot of shit, but I'll eat crow because the guy brings results

 

[Johno]

Sorry.................not even close to goalie interference.

That's as classic as they come. No hook= goalie would have slid over and likely made the save

 

[Finnswiss]

In my opinion the slovakian goal was absolutely correct, I couldn't see any interference to the finnish goalie. Game still open.

 

[stastny12]

This is THE Game. I like atmosphere so far.

 

[king89]

Good game!

 

[Stubu]

good goal and an enjoyable game so far. the players were getting pretty hot a couple of times. good intensity in the crowd too

Daloga in hospital after puck in the face, suspected concussion

No one seems to agree with you here.

It was reviewed not once but twice and the goal stood so it seems the officials don't see it your way either.

The score stands 2-2 after a reviewed good goal, time to move on and get ready for the 3rd period I would say.

I actually hope Kakko will be a Ranger. Much better organization.

Yes, Finnish hockey fans should hope for Kakko to stay at number two for the draft and thank their lucky stars that the Rangers moved up.

No offense to the Devils, Shero is competent, but in my mind they are going nowhere and fast, Kakko's talents would be wasted if he ended up there.

The Rangers are pretty much the best place for for Kaapo timing wise plus they are a big market healthy organization with maybe one of the best prospect pools right now.

I'm just grateful he won't end up in one of the "disaster zone" orgs. like Edmonton, Ottawa or Buffalo.

 

[BullLund]

Figured that this was going to be a tough game. Slovakia is pumped-up and they're playing like they did back in the old days.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Finland can blame only themselves on that this game is 2-2.
2 powerplays and zero goals in 2nd period so what you can expect 1 goal lead isn't never safe.
If you want troubles you will get troubles and Slovakia is causing troubles to Finland

And I don't give a ****

I don't care for the reviews but consistency is needed. That is what should then be called as the rule states.

 

[jj cale]

And I don't give a ****

I don't care for the reviews but consistency is needed. That is what should then be cleared as the rule states.

Yes, I can see you don't give a f***. Carry on letting that bother you, it counted and that's that.

What you think doesn't mean shit.

 

[matsqq]

Now suomen poikka will reveal their special power "sisu" and win ...

here's where it becomes apparent that they're missing some high end quality guys who can capitalize on the pp... wouldn't have happened with guys like ah0, teravainen, rantanen and heiskanen on the roster

If the goal had been disallowed it would have killed the game.

 

[ijuka]

Huh, Ferraro actually thinks Kakko's been bad this game. Interesting.

 

[Stubu]

Kakko just had a good shot from his own play

 

[Belizarius]

Huh, Ferraro actually thinks Kakko's been bad this game. Interesting.

we see the flash and skills (goal, shots and PP time) but sometimes it's harder to judge the positionning and defensive game when you're not a scout or former NHL star

 

[Finnswiss]

Finns try to increase pressure but Slovakia is defending well so far.

 

[Plevna]

Good game. Nice to see that Slovakia is back to the business.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Here we go with another long delay. Unbelievable
