Calm down. Czechs were better. Reffing was questionable, very questionable, but they were better. Atleast they give us cheap and good beer.
 
One of my pet-peeves; complaining about the refs. Such a cop-out.

Well, yes and no. Yes, all hail Jagr, gongrats and all, and like I said, if we can't beat Czechs despite the refs, no hope against Canada. No, IIHF needs to get this **** sorted out. Let me put this way, after a game looser whining about refs being biased should be ridiculuded by simply pointing to what happened on ice. We should be able to go over replays, and point out that it the ones complaining are being silly. The problem, huge problem, is that we can't. Because they are right. Hockey nowadays is a small margin game, and bad refs really do decide games.

I hope team Finland files a formal complaint. Not because of the loss, but because this **** is getting out of hand. This is the second spring in row, with reffing that is abysmal. It needs to change. Hire some NHL refs or some thing.
 
My say is that if this eastern european corrupted reffereing does not stop something is going to happen.

This is second year in a row Finland suffers from corrupted refs...

Im a rich investment banker, and I'm soon gonna bribe those refs if this doesn't stop..

totally corrupted referees...

NOW GOOD LUCK CZECKS congrats, Jagr is amazing.

But i'd be kind of ashamed how the ref had a +2 goal influence for the other way.

WE BOTH FINLAND AND SWEDEN SUFFER ALWAYS AGAINST THE OTHER BIG NATIONS... unfair.. this way hockey will always stay as a marginal sport, never would have happened in football wc

Note Mods: this is not against anyone but the iihf referring and I think we can all relate to that.. it's sad for this sport... But czechs deserved to win!
 
Missed period 2 and 3, anyone who's got some cliffs of what the refs did and didn't do?

+1 same thing happened on Tuesday. Oh yeah, but the Swedes aren't exactly Eastern European. :sarcasm:
 
This is exactly why I'm starting to dislike the World Championships. Most Finns are sore losers.
Loosing is one thing. We can deal with that, better team won.
, no problem, that is hockey. But when the whole team does their best to stay out of the box, notice for example zero hooking on forecheck, and the result is bs like Kontiola penalty, yes, we complain. Get over it.
 
Not sure why somebody posted a message relating about Czech political history (is it part of East Europe or not). Mods should delete these messages.

I am a Finn and indeed we seem to have our share of sore losers, just like other countries, but that doesn't mean you have to dislike the event as a whole.

My thoughts. The better team rightfully won. Team Finland has some terrible defence and in the end it bite us in the @ss. Second power play goal for Czechs was deserved as there was clearly a foul play on the play leading to discarded goal and it was the right decision by referees. I thought Rinne played good, first goal probably should have been saved. But it happens. Pavelec was terrible. If I was Czech coach I would consider going with Salak, as I thought Pavelec was as insecure as they (goalkeepers) come. Only reason why the score was so close.

I don't think Czechs have any chance beating Canada, if Pavelec is playing.
 
Missed period 2 and 3, anyone who's got some cliffs of what the refs did and didn't do?

Finland scored the leading goal 3-2, they disallowed it and gave Finland a penalty instead. Czech scored on that powerplay, so instead of 3-2 Finland (like it should have been) it was 2-3 Czech.

A complete game changer.

I thought it was the right call. Sad but true. A stupid, stupid penalty which probably cost us the game.

And on that powerplay a Finn stick gets slashed of the player's hands, no penalty but a goal.

1. check d shoots the puck to altonens stick which broke and he held the stick for 1 sec and got a penalty
2. check pp and one slahses kemppainen's stick away which was totally out of play and cezch score
3. Finland score a totally fine goal, but same time the refree makes a phantom call and give pp and they score

so they led to 3 goals and took 1 away from fin...

I don't think they have much chance with either goalie, but Salak played at least as poorly as Pavs in this tournament, so not sure it is time to put him in spotlight again.
When either goalie is playing, it makes one think "they should put in other goalie." :laugh:
