GDT: Group B - May 18 - Latvia vs Russia

[JHB]

clear 5+10...IIHF taking examples from NHL with blind refrees?

It's a well known fact that Russia has bought medals in these World Championships for a long time. Bribing refs etc.

 

[CatOTails]

Reffing is Such a joke lol
Clear headshot and not even 2 min penalty

 

[Peter25]

Nice goal from Kucherov to Dadonov to Gusev. It's not a coincidence, these guys lead Team Russia in scoring at the tournament.

Kucherov and Dadonov have been the only NHL forwards that I have been impressed with so far (Gusev is still not an NHL player). Kovy and Ovy should be benched. Kuznetsov, meh. Anisimov is also very mediocre. Malkin is a shadow of his former self, sadly.

Although I hate the childish gif game going on by Latvian federation, I love how they don't give a f*** about IIHF at this point.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Kucherov is running away in a scoring race - 12 points in 4 1/2 games so far.

 

[ijuka]

So how was that judged, a clean check to the head?

 

[ellja3]

I am so pissed. We're clearly losing this game anyway, but the quality of reffing (both IIHF and NHL) is such a joke. This is 21st century, we have sent a man to the moon, but hey - clear headshot (or clear handpass as was the case in SJS-STL series) - oh well - ref didn't see it, game goes on. @$)(@%*)*@&%(&%

"Legal check to the head"

 

[Peter25]

Kovy and Ovy continue with their bad play. They lose every one-on-one battle. They misshandle passes frequently. They just stand around and do nothing when Latvia has the puck.

BENCH THEM!!!!

 

[RobRayzor]

This is also 5+20 for Zadorov

 

[Namejs]

Another 5+20

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, this should be a major, too.

 

[RobRayzor]

Referees:
HRIBIK Jan
SIDORENKO Max

These 2 better not show their face in Latvia...

BENCH THEM!!!!

man, calm down, really. we all know its not gonna happen, there's no need to repeat the same thing over and over again

 

[CatOTails]

Five on three. The best chance you got so far to keep it going.

 

[Peter25]

I know its not going to happen.

 

[ijuka]

It's understandable the players keep making dirty plays because they know the refs aren't calling them. That's what happens when you lose control of the game.

 

[shtorm2005]

damn you refs, it's a well known fact Russia bought you, why you giving them penalties

 

[Namejs]

These 2 better not show their face in Latvia...

Max Sidorenko is reffing this game?

Are you serious right now? He's Russian

 

[BigBadBoar]

From my point of view, that elbowing into Batna's head was an obvious dirty hit. There are 4 refs on the ice and not single one could see this?

 

[GX]

Are you serious right now? He's Russian

Belarusian

 

[CatOTails]

Well technically he's Belarusian. But yeah, you're right.

 

[jonas2244]

There is no question, puck his gone, he targets Batna's head with his elbow. Even if Batna's head is a little bit down. If he doesn't get suspended for tomorrow I don't understand the world anymore.

 

[Namejs]

Belarusian

I know he's got a Belarusian citizenship, he's a KHL ref and he's the son of this guy: Сидоренко, Андрей Михайлович — Википедия

Him calling Russian games is a f***ing joke
