GDT: Group B • Dec. 31 • Finland vs. Czech Republic

[Daimon]

******** call.

 

[Jussi]

Saarela goes out for that? Refs have completely lost it.

 

[Canadian Finn]

Button is clueless.

Finland....BE CAREFUL!!!

You will now get a couple REALLY bad calls against ya.....

 

[matzz]

Hahaha The refs has lost it !

 

[Finnsane]

Bad calls 1-1

 

[satbank]

4 on 4 !

 

[LOFIN]

How is that a tripping call????????? Man. Czechs are getting royaly screwed here

What the stick went under his skateblade and he fell. Clear as a day.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I wish young team Lions can surpass the daft law and have great fireworks all the new yearing night and morningly day!

 

[Finnswiss]

Hardly I wonder why there are no penalty calls it begins........

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Good call. Makes up for the 1st penalty.

 

[LOFIN]

Not Czech, also don't think it was a trip. Finnish player was doing the ol inside out jump and fell. Regardless, these refs have been **** anyway. Should just go back to not calling anything.

Are you watching a stream or something with a bad video quality? You can easily see the stick cutting under Puljujärvi's skate blade.

 

[Adonis Creed]

Finland doesn't scared Canada....they have Awful defending/avg goaltending and they are quite soft or a big team. Only way they win vs Canada is when the refs take over and gift them 5-6 PP for being soft/divers

The Czchech are Dangerous


Easy 1/4 inal incoming for Canada

 

[Steamwhistle]

The only bad call was the roughing on Hronek. The others were fine.

Nah, TSN HD feed. Finnish player was already falling before Hronek's(sp?) stick ever made it there. PVRed it to check too - at the very most you can make a case for jumping on the Czech players stick, but that would be stretching it.

edit: I mean, it's close enough that you can't blame the ref for calling it - but at the same time no need to go crazy calling people arguing it homers either.

Yeah. It should have been holding instead of roughing.

 

[Finnswiss]

The saving rate of Vehviläinen is so far better than against Russia....

it was but Puljujarvi might have already been in the air at that point, it was close, very tough to tell. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a trip, wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Not surprised the ref watching 9in real time saw it as a trip because it looked like it clearly was.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Three nice hits by the Czecs.

 

[King 88]

Wtf are these refs doing...

 

[LOFIN]

Nah, TSN HD feed. Finnish player was already falling before Hronek's(sp?) stick ever made it there. PVRed it to check too - at the very most you can make a case for jumping on the Czech players stick, but that would be stretching it.

Well if you look at it that way then ok, I see what you're getting at.

 

[JWells16]

This game is great. The refs...

 

[Canadian Finn]

Laine beat that icing...

glad the linesman are as clueless as the ref's are!

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Why would the Finnish fans start cheering when it was an icing against them

 

[Villert]

Well if you look at it that way then ok, I see what you're getting at.

Finland always my #2 team in international play. Really wish I could have made it over there for this tournament. One day I guess.

 

[Canuckistani]

If I'm reading the standings correctly, Canada gets the winner of this game, right?
