GDT: May 10 • Finland 2, Latvia 3

[obv]

That was the right call, would have been fine if he wouldn't had bent his knees. That was just reckless from the Latvian player.

 

[Juzmo]

PP not looking great at the start as expected.

 

[stv11]

Come on guys, that's textbook clipping. It could easily end up with a knee injury.

 

[kitsumo]

That was clean and beautiful check. Would have never been called in NHL but IIHF rules tend to be different...

 

[Arthur]

How is that a ****ing penalty

That hit should be rewarded not penalized

 

[Jaan]

Yep, you can't hit a guy at his knees' height and expect to get away with it

 

[Finnsane]

That was clean and beautiful check. Would have never been called in NHL but IIHF rules tend to be different...

They sure are. In the NHL, you get a major

 

[BalticWarrior]

Every time lavinsh is on the ice there's a turnover. goddamnit

 

[kitsumo]

They sure are. In the NHL, you get a major

That's one of the examples where result decided the penalty.

 

[Namejs]

Every time lavinsh is on the ice there's a turnover. goddamnit

Pretty sure Jass is already playing in his place.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Pretty sure Jass is already playing in his place.

yup just saw that. Thank god.

 

[Namejs]

Classic IIHF reffing.

 

[ThunderBuddy]

Oh, my

 

[s4]

wtf is this, this was a clear penalty as well

 

[agent082]

I just wanna ask people who argue the penalty that how you get penalty for clipping if that wasn't penalty worth? In my opinion that was textbook example of clipping.

 

[King EK65]

The refs are ridiculous.

 

[obv]

That's one of the examples where result decided the penalty.

Dont be so ignorant it was a obvious penalty. A hip check should hit the hip and not the knees which is clearly clipping.

 

[BalticWarrior]

The refs are ridiculous.

international refs enough said.

 

[ThunderBuddy]

Shoot the frickin' biscuit!

 

[Matti_A]

The feisty Latvians are dominating.

 

[matzz]

WTF, Come on Finland, our defence is so damn weak. Are they that nervous ?

 

[agent082]

Latvia has been better in first period. They have more skilled players and their teamplay has been more organized.

 

[Finnsane]

Awful period

 

[Erikfromfin]

Europeans soft? Don Cherry my arse. One period in this game had more tackles than any Boston vs Philadelphia playoff series in 70's.

 

[King EK65]

Good period, Latvia needs to keep going like this.
