GDT: Semi Final: Canada Vs Finland | 1PM EST 7PM CET | CAN 5 - 0 FIN

Let’s see how the nationalities of the referees impact on their objectivity.

So in actual international hockey games canada is on a 4 game losing streak vs finland

Who are the Swedish folks around here cheering for in this one?

It's strange but they seem to tend to root for Finland if Sweden is out on average. For such a supposed heated rivalry I find that odd, I have found the Finns don't tend to return the favour however. Once Finland is out they don't tend to cheer for anyone, though they will maybe lean against anyone who is playing Canada, Canada is always the one everyone roots against.

 

[End on a Hinote]

I really wish Canada wasn’t wearing black. I’ve never understood that.

What’s wrong with just the simple and iconic red & white?

Y’know, Canada’s national colours?

I'm not crazy about them either. It's hard to make a really stunning tarp through when you only have 2 colours to work with, one of which being vanilla ass white.

Having said that, these are IMO by far the best Canada jerseys ever:

Didn't like the 2010 Vancouver jerseys at first either, thought they reminded me of those cheap, unofficial Canada "jerseys" you get in the kids area in the clothing department at Wal-Mart or Zellers. But they've since grown on me and I actually wish they still used them. A close 2nd favorite for me

That’s because we have fans who come out of the woodwork after not posting all tournament long and act like jerks if we win.

That and a few other factors.

 

[Plub]

Canada walking out like it's all business, Finland walks out looking loose as f***.

I have that one. Wish they used it more. My favorite too.

Lets get ready for the refs bashing contest!

Is there a Swedish ref in this game? I'm counting on their aide as retribution for what the Finnish ref did to Sweden!!!!!

Swedes are so much different than Finns. They aren't that sour as we are if Finland is out. Finns mostly don't support Sweden, but Swedes usually support Finland if they are out. I appreciate Swedish ppl because of that.

 

[jj cale]

Make sure you let rip that big shot today Foote!!

I think they are more against canadian fans than the team.

 

[NyQuil]

It’s weird to see Canada with pressure early.

No, Russian/American.

 

[Barrie22]

Usa ref no bias there.

I like the black ones that made them look like a classin Finnish beer bottle.

I think they've all left.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Well the matchup for the 1st line is lopsided as f*** for Canada

 

[CupInSIX]

Hopefully they don't have a Swedish ref trying to screw the Fins

 

[NyQuil]

Nice little move from Cozens.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

That's not true. I don't see why a Finn would root for Russia in a Canada - Russia game. If Canada beats Finland im waving that Canadian flag like im from the deep jungle of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

 

[blindpass]

No, Russian/American.

f***.

 

[FinPanda]

Hopefully they don't have a Swedish ref trying to screw the Fins

We don't.
