GDT: Quarterfinal - May 17 - Sweden vs Latvia

[Future GOAT]

Wow Latvia back in it.

 

[Name Nameless]

Is hf boards breaking down or is my connection losing it?

HFboards are terrible. Almost as bad as the refs.

Balcers is really good btw.

 

[RobRayzor]

Latvia has an incredible amount of luck...

No, swedish goalie was terrible on both goals

 

[Chimpradamus]

Hellberg next game please. That's two soft goals out of two. Or just pull him here.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

what on earth is arvidsson doing, empty net

 

[Namejs]

GET IN U

Yeah. Hope Balcers makes it onto the Sharks after training camp next year. We would love to have him in our top 9

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

That settles it, Hellberg plays against USA.

 

[ViD]

Welp thats game.

 

[jj cale]

Wow Latvia back in it.

They just won't go away will they?

 

[McClelland]

Nilsson shitting his pants! Popcorn time!

 

[Name Nameless]

You are allowed to be in the crease and even have incidental contact with the goalie if you are playing the puck, which is what both players were doing. Not a goalie interference.

In fact, the person who knocked the puck out of Merzlikins' cover was Blugers.

You are not allowed to wait for the puck in the crease. Perhaps in the NHL, but not in the rest of the world.

 

[Fossy21]

So an obvious goal is disallowed because the ref blew the whistle (or intended to) while the puck was still moving over the goal line and then Sweden gets one allowed despite a rugby scrum in the crease (which TSN very carefully tried to ignore with only two looks at it both from the vantage point of Anders Nilsson) Where are the behind the net angles? I fear the fix is in...

Yup, refs sure are looking for any old excuse to call penalties on Latvia. Fixed indeed.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Kempe benched?

Wait??? The word wait means to bide until a desired, intended, or anticipated event takes place. Are you trying to say there was a screen in the crease prior to the one-timer?

 

[Zippgunn]

Yup, refs sure are looking for any old excuse to call penalties on Latvia. Fixed indeed.

Who said anything about penalties? The refs called off an obvious goal and then allowed one where it sure looked like there was clear goalie interference. Hard to tell when the powers that be refuse to show any kind of detailed replay. Who provides TSN with the video feed, Swedish TV?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

What a shift by the Nashville lads.

 

[Macbanan]

The way i see it:
2 bogus minor penalty calls on Sweden
1 bogus whistle to nullify Latvia's goal.
One wasted goalie interference challenge.

Now please don't take penalties. Play simple.

Like has already been said. There's no goalie interference if contact is incidentally initiated in the process of playing the puck...

 

[McClelland]

Im pretty sure that latvias 2-2 goal had been disallowed anyway! The Latvia player run into Nilsson and the puck went in, signal or not!

 

[RobRayzor]

Cmon we need another s*itty play by nilsson

 

[BalticWarrior]

I think Sharks will be very pleased with Balcers.

 

[RobRayzor]

Im pretty sure that latvias 2-2 goal had been disallowed anyway! The Latvia player run into Nilsson and the puck went in, signal or not!

3:1 goal was pretty much same, yet it was allowed.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Latvia will get atleast one big chance

You sure didn't. Hence why I pointed it out, along with the ridiculous claim that the officials are somehow favouring Sweden. Quick whistles happen all the time.
