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

[The Hanging Jowl]

American ref is screwing Finland. I knew it.

I realize we're regionally close but there's no allegiance between Canadians and Americans reffing- wise.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Lol you can't call it a high stick when the whistle already blew.

Yes you can

 

[Melkor]

Pretty sure the Finns thought the same thing with Annunen.

Anything can happen but if you did everything you can to insure yourself then you can look back with no regrets.

 

[Alerion]

Shot was way late, well after the first whistle and even after the second whistle. That should be an unsportsmanlike to me, the 10 minute misconduct is bizarre but IIHF rules are weird.

They missed the high stick which should have been 4.

 

[Lambo]

Reminds me Vancouver 10 US vs FIN

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Yes you can

Players could just chop face after whistles and not give a shoot if that was the case lmfao.

 

[Cody Webster]

My question is, why does someone have to go into the box to serve his 10 while he's off getting repairs? There's less than 10 minutes left in the period, so it's not like he's coming out of the box this period anyway

 

[Barrie22]

? Play being dead doesnt matter at all. Or is it fine to crosscheck someone after play is dead? Stupid Dallas fans

To be fair the high stick doesn't hapoen if the finn player didn't shoot the puck after the whistle.

 

[Czechboy]

I'm genuinely getting the feeling that some on here feel like high sticking to the face is okay as long as the whistle has been blown.lol Boy would it be a different looking game if that was the case...

 

[koyvoo]

I hate this tournament

There’s a few NHL games on right now. Jokiharju scored a goal for Buffalo.

What’s funny is the same rationale used to accuse Swedish refs of being against Finland is also used to accuse US refs of being in favour of Canada.

Just don’t try and understand the logic of the nationality-based biased refereeing argument.

 

[W75]

What it's 5 on 5 still?

E: Oh, it was 10, whatever.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Can you call a hold when you are scrumming with a player after the whistle is blown?

lmfao

2 mins for holding after every whistle and scrum infront of the net

That's a restraining foul, different than a dangerous act foul, which high-sticking is. You know this.

 

[Alex K]

Killinen is a cool name. Wondering is there Murderinen or Assassinen?

 

[Shocker]

While i agree that was way too late, i don't think the correct response is to slash the dude in the face.

But hey, seems like some people think it was the right thing to do.

 

[Merrrlin]

This game is a mess

 

[agent082]

Obviously you can't shoot the puck that late after the play.

The only mistake made was the missed high stick.

Usually you drop the gloves, not hit the face with stick. Ranta isn't a big dude so you shouldn't be scared to fight him.

 

[nucks88]

I hate this tournament

You probably could find something else to do then...

That is pretty strange.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

The Refs didn't give a penalty to the Swedes for the late shot.

Maybe they should of? Doesn't mean that a different ref in a different game cant make the call tho

 

[FinPanda]

Ah, its refreshing to be mutually angry about the bad calls.

 

[Lapa]

We're bad, but so are the refs.

 

[NyQuil]

While i agree that was way too late, i don't think the correct response is to slash the dude in the face.

But hey, seems like some people think it was the right thing to do.

Yeah, I don’t think he slashed the guy in the face.

There was accidental stick contact which probably should be a penalty.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Can you call a hold when you are scrumming with a player after the whistle is blown?

lmfao

2 mins for holding after every whistle and scrum infront of the net

Why didn't you pick violence instead of this horrible comparison?
You even get a delay of the game penalty if you throw the puck out of the rink after the whistle

 

[JoVel]

What a stupid example which has nothing to do with this situation.
