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

[Novak Djokovic]

I don't even blame the Russian players for diving. This is all on the refs.

 

[Jagemon]

come on guys, russia has been better so far, the score reflects the reality..

Not really, pretty even on even strength but the penalties were not legit.

 

[ThunderBuddy]

This is just glorious

 

[Kharkov]

The goal was after 4th man came on ice, that's in the books, it's not arguable, these corrupt refs are ridiculous

Yeah. Terrible.

 

[Padawan]

Why is a finn still on penalty???

This is what I'm still wondering. I have no clue.

Great shot by Malkin though. Truly a world class shot.

 

[EK47]

Ah crap

 

[jonlin]

WTF is this??? They got free PP 30 secs after the goal?

 

[Smolle]

Why aren't these referees at stanley cup semis?

 

[JFG]

Russia is the better team. Stop with the ****ing excuses.

 

[Den]

I just can imagine all the threads and the newspapers after this, regardless of the outcome: "Putin strikes back at EU"

 

[Acquizitor*]

You really believe that? That's sad.

russia has been better..

 

[Hasa92]

This game is a perfect example why we still need goons and fights in hockey.

 

[alpa]

God I hate cheaters.

 

[mattihp]

Pakarinen's name is appearantly Pekka Rinnenen

 

[Jussi]

Yeah, that's what I thought?

35:38 3 - 2 PP2 RUS 11. MALKIN Yevgeni
34:18 2 min FIN 27. KONTIOLA Petri Hooking
33:37 2 min FIN 26. IMMONEN Jarkko Cross-Checking

Blatant mistake by the refs.

 

[Kulleroinen*]

Wonder how Putler has threatened those refs. :/

34:18 2 min FIN 27. KONTIOLA Petri Hooking
33:37 2 min FIN 26. IMMONEN Jarkko Cross-Checking

Blatant mistake by the refs.

Yes, let's call it a mistake

 

[psycho_dad*]

come on guys, russia has been better so far, the score reflects the reality..

Not on 5 vs 5, of course they can dominate on PP's which they have not deserved. So far the only penalty finns deserved was Mantyla's high sticking in 1st.

 

[PTmbp13]

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

trailertrash mindset. No respect for rules or other, except when they need you. Terrible embarrassing people. OMG.

 

[Plural]

Is this going down as the worst reffing in the finals of any pro-tournament?

 

[EvilElf63]

Ugh, how bout some 5 on 5?

 

[Killerinstinct]

****in refs. We can beat Russia but we can't beat refs.

 

[Jusca]

To be fair Malkins penalty was extremely weak too

 

[Like Wall]

After all, Russia is one of the leading nations in figure skating.

 

[deandebean]

Man, the refs are dominating the show, honestly.
