GDT: May 25 • Gold Medal Game • 2:00 PM ET • 20:00 CET

[Jussi]

Hilarious hearing so many of my neighbors screaming when the goal was scored.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

Apparently not judging by his party winning euro elections.
It would not surprise me if we had a lot of PS supporters here though. Certainly the right crowd.

you don't have to be PS supporter to hate Jyrki ;p

 

[Bjornee]

How is it cheating? Plenty of teams have used extra assistant coaches up in the stands to report via mic to the bench.

He's not allowed to communicate nor coach the team in any way in this final. IIHF ruling.

 

[Jussi]

what I find funny is why you watch Canadian broadcasts over Finnish.

I just watched the intermission. Finnish tv is mostly commercials.

 

[GX]

He's not allowed to communicate nor coach the team in any way in this final. IIHF ruling.

I thought the ruling was for him to be banned from the bench, and his accreditation revoked.

 

[Like Wall]

Obviously I'm talking about the refs. Malkin on Haula, clear 2+10 but no whistle, Haula probably broke somethin there in the face. Two ridiculous calls on Salomäki, other led to a goal. I dont like blaming the refs but they sucked Putin's d in the first.

Lets hope they'll do better job the rest of the game.

I meant to imply that the refs today make up new rules. They stand above the current rule book.

 

[Smolle]

He's not allowed to communicate nor coach the team in any way in this final. IIHF ruling.

Why would he care about rules? He is too badass for rules. There will be some small fine max.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

MOD.

That Finnish goal shouldn't have happened. Poor defense by Russian forwards, especially Ovechkin.

 

[Schnurvel]

How is it cheating? Plenty of teams have used extra assistant coaches up in the stands to report via mic to the bench.

As part of his suspension, Znarok is not allowed to communicate with the coaches during the game.

Can't say I'm surprised, but Jesus Christ, Russia, it's almost ridiculous how stereotypically Russian you're being about all of this...

 

[failedsaucerpass]

I can't stand the Finnish commentators etc.

 

[Den]

There some remark above that IIHF said it is allowed

 

[Bjornee]

Not according to swedish TV, but guess they could be wrong.

 

[Den]

Can't handle this game.

Is that ODOR?

 

[Minttu]

JYRKI KATAINEN
JYRKI KATAINEN
JYRKI KATAINEN

Just thought he should be mentioned for balance sake

You mean Jyrki Käteinen?

 

[TheStinger]

Young Oliver J. Jokinen Jnr is being a bit of a troll at the moment.

 

[m4tt145]

Nice hit.

 

[KeeroleHaula]

Is that ODOR?

I don't remember his name but gif if from Finnish movie (Spede-stuff??)

 

[WinTheRightGames]

What? A penalty for Russia?

 

[King 88]

Lets ****ing do this!!!

 

[mattihp]

Rinne makes every save look beautiful, even the easy ones.

 

[Den]

OK.... yeah in-ference...

 

[Neinri]

A little bit random compared to other stuff.

 

[Plural]

I hope the refs don't make this worse.

 

[1Gold Standard]

I just watched the intermission. Finnish tv is mostly commercials.

really? you watch intermission to listen to a whole bunch of gobblygook. in any language listening to in-between period commentary from ex players is a whole lot of nonsense. but hey..if you enjoy it...carry on.

 

[Smolle]

It's ok, finland has OJ on ice, they won't score.
