GDT: May 11 • Finland vs. Belarus

[aphyro]

I smell finnish victory! I can't see Belarus win this game if it goes to shot outs

 

[QnebO]

Dumb ass refs going to check something to give belarus free time out after icing.. for second time these guys are farce!

 

[Minttu]

Refs: "Hey, the game is ending. It's time to order some pizza".

Refs: "Hey, the game is ending. It's time to order some pizza".

Every time belarus is in problems and makes icing, they ask for them to check something and they do

When they check that clear no goal, it was the same.

Break out that bottle of Koskenkorva my friend and google 1986 Fin-Swe, 1991 Fin-Swe, 2003 Fin-Swe

Sorry, didn't notice you were referring to Finland – Sweden games. Those are a different animal. However, Finland will forever feature prominently in Slovak hockey fans' historic nightmares, due to Vancouver. To tell the truth, I still haven't quite recovered, to this day, from what happened in the 3rd period in that game. Still makes me sick just to think of it.

(It doesn't helpt that Slovakia's top player on that team, Demitra, died a year later in that awful plane-crash. Can't ever think of Vancouver without thinking of the 3rd-period collapse against Finland, Demitra missing a wide-open net with a few seconds left to go in trying to equalize the semifinal game against Canada, and the plane crash.)

 

[Plural]

****ing hate shootouts. Hate em.


For me, the game is over already.

Jokerit beat this team in playoffs 4-1. No wonder basically Jokerit NT went to finals last year

Only one thing I hate more than shootouts. Thats Jokerit.

He plays a different role these days.

 

[QnebO]

Immonen! This is why we don't need Palola!

Ok, hes still awesome.

 

[snowmobile]

So Beyak finally realized they don't have to win this game

 

[m4tt145]

Pretty bad shot by Kostitsyn.

 

[Hasa92]

Man what a triller it was but glad we won eventually.

 

[Matti_A]

ZeiZei's still got it.

 

[FiLe]

Canada dodged.

 

[m4tt145]

Stepanovs penalty shot was amazing!

 

[Periwinkle]

I don't think I've EVER witnessed Team Finland scoring on all tries in a shootout.

 

[Plural]

Stepanovs penalty shot was amazing!

Yeah. Beauty!

 

[Minttu]

3/3
Pekka Rinne

Otherwise...something I want to forget as soon as possible.

 

[QnebO]

Tuukka Mäntylä singing them anthem when others not. Time to stop hating on him. (And he still hasn't failed anything after wake up in USA game).

Not being able to score empty netters in periods... Then netting every shot in shootout.
