GDT: Quarter Finals: Finland vs Slovakia; Jan. 2, 2025; 17:00 EST

[King 88]

Two wrong calls amazing job refs.

 

[kutka]

Yep, this. Dvorsky, a center was the one who backchecked and defended there, ridiculous, where was the D?

Come on, Radivojevič skated well into open Area as puck moving D should, but no forward took his place on the blue line

 

[gritdash60]

I think they got it right after all, they should've waived it off when it happened so they could have looked at the interference in the first place. Possibly wrong take.

It's pretty easy to tell how good Dvorsky is even with 0 points in this game.

 

[chauron]

It was kicked. And if the officials review a play why the hell aren't they looking at everything.

No kicking motion, just a sliding skate

 

[Shocker]

I wouldn't have minded at all if they ruled it no goal after the first long check, they just seem like total clowns now for first ruling it a goal and then no goal right after

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No it wasn't.

It was close or they wouldn't have taken so long.. They could have just called it off for a kicking motion.

 

[LOFIN]

f*** video reviews, the refs should get like 30 seconds max to view at the situation, unless we are talking about a 1 goal elimination game. Just wasting time and making the sport worse for the fans.

They checked one thing at a time, they can only work within the parameters like ”was it a kick” and ”was goalie interefered”. Not allowed to check anything else.

No kicking motion, just a sliding skate

What is the rule in international hockey. Distinct kicking motion?

 

[gritdash60]

At the intermission Kekäläinen said this rink doesn't have the modern glasses that bend and protect players. It's very weird to me that IIHF doesn't mandate those for this kind of tournament. Even in broke finnish Liiga they are mandatory, there must be like 200 arenas in Canada with those installed and still they play with some old barn with concrete boards and bulletproof glass.

 

[Svedu]

How wasn't that a penalty against Kiiskinen there? PP for Finland that is.

We like to keep it old school.

It wasn't a kicking motion.

What are the refs doing!? Now at least two missed calls against the Slovaks.

 

[chauron]

Wtf goalie!

Teppo Numminen said that in Calgary olympics they "played in the old cow palace where boards were 2 meters tall and made of concrete".

The Cow Palace is still standing if im correct?

 

[Shocker]

Keith Urban is a showman

yep.

 

[gritdash60]

Arttu Kangas with the longest stick in the tournament, on his offtime he uses that for polevault.

 

[Svedu]

Refs are losing this game. Missed too calls against the slovaks and now what? A big penalty against the finns or something?


Poor Radivojevic. Hope he's okay!

Pieniniemi had the time to stop. Stupid penalty. But everything more than 2 would be laughable.

 

[Jussi]

That looks like a clean hit.

 

[Hai]

clean hit

 

[chauron]

A normal tackle, just receive it

 

[King 88]

Good hit moving on.

 

[tobu]

Ouch, not Luka...

 

[PanniniClaus]

5 and a game. This looks really bad

Suspension for semifinal to boot.
