GDT: Quarter Final | Finland Vs Sweden | 1/2 @ 1:30PM | TSN/NHLN

I thought that, too.

And back then it was often the Soviet Union's best against other countries deadbeats. Whenever it was best on best the story is a little different.

 

[ponder]

Is Raymond alive

Hah, Niemela headered the puck into his face. Seems like he’s cut but OK.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Soderblum likes it between the legs eh!

 

[ORRFForever]

Sweden back in a groove.

 

[snipes]

Pretty good game.

Swedes starting to get a little momentum after the Finns looked much better most of the 1st.

Wait what's the rule exactly on offside? Does the blue line count as inside? Because the puck never came out of offensive zone if the line counts, and it was there before the other guy.

Bringing the puck over the line* is the thing that makes it ok to cross. If the puck hasn't crossed over, you can't have a player over. That's how it's been for like since the offside was brought into the game.

The finish forward was already in the offensive zone by at least a foot when Heinola entered the zone...

Lucas Raymond is the Scott Sterling of hockey.

 

[canswetoxic]

Lucas basically just dropped the puck and stop playing like that ? twice?!

I know a very attractive Swedish woman. She plans on rubbing a Swedish victory into a Finnish guys face.

 

[The Blue Baron]

I think I’m gonna behead the next snowman I see around here!

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Well, Raymond is definitely not soft. Beaten to a bloody pulp and he's still going to the net.

 

[robertocarlos]

No, it was a clear offside... TSN showed a replay which left no doubt and it was by a wide margin.

They didn't show the play before the puck crossed the line.

 

[mrmovies779]

How the hell is that offside? Heinola got the puck in before the other finn went into zone. He didn't put it back to neutral zone as seen on the replay. Finns got robbed..

It was a clear offside

 

[ponder]

Overall, one of the better games of the tourney so far (at least of the ones I’ve caught). This could easily go either way, both teams competing hard and looking evenly matched.

All of them?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Finns are great at putting themselves offside.

But Heinola had already brought the puck into the zone before that and I did not see it exiting, the replays did not show that part.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

I await the day that a player with Soderbolm's 6'8 frame skates like McDavid and breaks every record known to man.

 

[Jeremy Hronek]

I have a question about the goal that was waved off. Heinola entered the zone with the puck, then his teammate entered the zone. Once his teammate entered, he pulled the puck back to the blue line, but not past the line and into the neutral zone. So that is offside? I dont know why but I am getting confused because in my mind he already entered the zone and then pulled the puck back to the blue line.

All of them?

I'm sure there's one, or two maybe that aren't.

All we ever saw on a replay was that seemingly Heinola had never entered the area at all.

 

[ORRFForever]

Sweden's killing me. They're trying to give it away.

Two might be pushing it
