GDT: May 14 • Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Czech Republic

[dryz]

We get a nonsense penalty on a scoring play, goal waived off, scored on in ensuing powerplay. Winning not allowed.

Well it was interference and good call. Nothing you can do

 

[mattihp]

Good old Soviet brothers, Czech (players) and Russia (referees) solving the problem

Stop this nonsense. Keep it out of here. Czechs hate Soviets. Almost as much as we do. NO friggin need to take the commentary out of the ice hockey rink.

Probably this.

 

[Blasb]

So done with this junk refereeing like can anyone explain to me why it is this bad

 

[IAM]

Heeeeere we go. That's what I call a justice.

You do have a strange view on justice. This is a ****ing joke again. These refs will not be seen again in this tournament.

 

[jonlin]

Wonder how much Czechs paid for a medal?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Who even gives a damn about the game where the zebras decide who will win ? This is not hockey, this is just stand-up comedy.

 

[Jakk123]

How wasn't that a penalty for Kontiola? He went after a player without the puck. Clear penalty imo.

 

[Daishi]

The nationality of the referees doesn't make them any less corrupted. Someone bought these guys to call for the home team. The fact that it happens in the KHL all the time is just a 'coincidence'.

A Soviet ref would do anything to **** the Czechs over, though...

They're not corrupt, just incompetent.

 

[mattihp]

Talk about the game, please

I want to know what the players do, not what the Stripey guys do.

 

[Kuhta]

Its not that serious, come on.

Plus, if Finland is out, I will root for Jagr and the home crowd anyway to win the championship!

Yeah, right.

 

[Jussi]

Both players were going at it and the Czech ended up falling on his own team mates stick.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Both penalties were good calls.

First one I understood after seeing the replay, but the second one was extremely questionable.

 

[TeemuS]

So winner of this gets Canada? So if cze go to semi, bye-bye canada?

 

[chauron]

The refs are a joke. Paid refs

 

[rduck1]

Well it was interference and good call. Nothing you can do

"Skaters in front of the goal net are given leeway for penalties such as interference, cross-checking, hooking, holding, tripping, and slashing so long as the efforts to establish position in front or to remove that skater from in front do not cross the lines of a fair battle for territory. Violations in this area include: knocking down an opponent who does not have the puck; pulling at an opponent’s sweater; placing a stick between an opponent’s legs in a “corkscrew” manoeuvre; cross-checking an opponent violently; slashing at the back of an opponent’s legs."

No leeway was given. Rules were not followed. Bad call. Nothing I can do.

 

[Daishi]

So winner of this gets Canada? So if cze go to semi, bye-bye canada?

Canada is good enough to overpower the corrupted refereeing and beat those guys even with a guy in the penalty box.

 

[mattihp]

Barkov needs to start scoring by now...

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

it doesn't really matter. whoever wins this goes vs Canada. Canada will steamroll to gold anyways. bronze is meaningless.

 

[JJTT]

Finland has played like ****. Deserved lead for Czechs.

 

[Gereth]

You guys should watch some instructional penalty videos. Maybe then you would stop whining about them. There probably should've been even more calls, especially for the crap Finnish players are doing before/after game. Czechs are controling the game most of the time, it's only fair that they are in lead.

 

[tobu]

Both players were going at it and the Czech ended up falling on his own team mates stick.

I think it was the crosscheck by Kontiola that made the difference, yes both players were kinda gluesticked together showing each other, but it seemed clean until that crosscheck neck height.
