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

[Matte99]

1st period clear Sweden 2nd clear Finland. Game is on. That offside call was horrible mistake but even refs are humans. I guess?

The offside was very clear but Finland got so much more skill and speed. They look more like we are used to see from swedish teams.

 

[Gsus]

1st period clear Sweden 2nd clear Finland. Game is on. That offside call was horrible mistake but even refs are humans. I guess?

The replays we got in Finland (from TSN?) showed it was offside. But if the puck somehow went in the zone before it came back to cameras then it obviously isnt.

 

[Sinkkunaattori]

Viro has really stepped up in this game, people were hating on him hard in the prelims

His breakout passing is still disastrous but I'll agree he looks like a different dude otherwise

 

[The Blue Baron]

I hope to coach shouts at them in the locker room WTF!!

Coach has to nice a hair do to shout at anyone!

 

[Slimmy]

Goal and about 3 wrong penalty calls in favour of Sweden this match so far.... Canadian referees were supposed to be best in the world they are utter shit

Do you do anything other than cry foul? Don't think I've ever read anything else from you.

 

[Kezaster]

Well Fins have not showed anything like the last period yet in the whole tournament. Im positively suprised. Hope they make it even

 

[Macbanan]

really disjointed swedish effort, both offensively and defensively. Can't decide whether to collapse or forecheck and forwards and defensemen can't catch each other in stride.

 

[snipes]

That powerplay a mirror of the entire period.

Finland completely outworked Sweden.

Third period sets up to be a classic!

Get the sense this might go to overtime.

 

[VictorLustig]

That was not a dive.

You can make anything look like a dive in slowmo.

 

[ookhaab]

And the Swedish players go down every time the wind blows.

Pretty much, they have been good at milking calls year after year.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

That Finn needs to cut back on the dam curve its no wonder he couldn't lift the puck 6 inches on backhand!That was a sure goal...%^%(&

 

[IceBjoern]

We’re lucky to be ahead... could’ve been a 3-2 game in favor of Finland. Really impressed with how they elevated their game and kept it for the entire 2nd.

Watching the Broberg interview, he looks deflated and not at all like captain material.

hoping for some changes in the 3rd.

 

[Auston Marlander]

We won't be playing Finland in the Semi's. That is my point. It is either Sweden,Russia...Or Slovakia if they beat the States. So either Sweden or Russia.

Where did I mention the Semis? If there was some big conspiracy by the refs to help Canada they would make the weaker teams win. That's all.

 

[Del Preston]

McDavid for Soderblom

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

You mean the world championship that Canada sends their B squad?

Idk why people like you bother to reply to fans who think the skoda cup means anything in the grand scheme of hockey. It's a nice novelty to win but the reality is if Canada loses, it's way more likely because they didn't send a good squad than the other team beating them outright.

 

[Finner]

You mean the world championship that Canada sends their B squad?

Yep and lost Finlands D squad

 

[The Blue Baron]

Love the Canadian fans commitment outside in Edmonton. Drinking in public no less. lol

 

[karhukissa]

It has been a good game. If Sweden wins this, i'll be supporting you to win the whole tournament. Always prefer to see Sweden winning over Canada (atleast nowadays)

 

[SouthSwe]

The replays we got in Finland (from TSN?) showed it was offside. But if the puck somehow went in the zone before it came back to cameras then it obviously isnt.

The puck was never in the zone

 

[Slimmy]

Would have been nice to have an experienced coach on the Swe team right about now.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Yep and lost Finlands D squad

Every Finnish team is their D squad.

 

[Matte99]

Holtz need to get 2 - 3 skating coaches to save his career. Sad to see how slow and sluggish he is.

 

[JackSlater]

I've only seen the second period of this game and... it's not been good for Sweden.

 

[Apari]

We need to see the replay from bench side which shows most clearly if the puck crossed the blueline or not. Finnish tv didn't show that replay.

Likewise.
