f*** sake

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Or...just refs making some bad calls, regardless of ethnicity?

No it is definetly the conspiracy of the evil Finns. No doubt about that.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

They should have pulled him a long time ago. He looked shakey right from the start.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Wait they had a backup with .941? And didn't switch sooner?

 

[Dominance]

Russian fans in this thread: “Askarov sucks he’s the only reason we’re behind”

Russian fans a week from now: “He’s still a generational prospect though”

Sweden's power play is lethal.

 

[Alex K]

Call it a game, Alnefeld won't allow 2 more goals.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Nice shot by Lundkvist. Russia has no business losing this game. This is Russia being stubborn with their goalie choices. Askarov is a great prospect. Miftakhov is currently the better goalie. They'd win this tournament more easily than teams win this tournament usually with him in goal.

 

[Mitch nylander]

4 points for sandin, he is having a great night.

 

[swedehollow]

Askarov might be super but this wasn’t his best game.

 

[aphyro]

Russia clearly played in the easier group

 

[Fantomas]

Disappointing, what can one say.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

I mean the end result of this hit is less than Hoglanders but this is much more a clear targetting of the head than Hoglanders.

 

[blindpass]

Yeah. If Montén tried that, the refs would punch him because of face.

He does have a punchable face.

 

[Keon1963]

Sandin is a beaut

 

[FinPanda]

I would say that, if i be honest!
And its not the first time


HAHA 4-3!!!

Wtf? There is a Canadian ref on the ice too.

 

[tictactoe]

Bragin normally pulls goalie after 2 bad goals. but with Larinov and Khabibulin behind the bench he 2nd question himself.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

No idea how we are ahead in this game

 

[7even]

Charmin soft call on that interference but that's the WJC for you, special teams is always make or break

 

[NyQuil]

You can sort of tell when a goalie is dialed in.

They are twitchy like they’ve had too much coffee.

Askarov looked pretty casual standing around during that Swedish PP.

 

[MaxDummy]

Askarov has a weird technique for sure

 

[D0ctorCool]

I didn't think for one second that Sweden was out of it. Has nobody watched this tournament before? No lead is safe.

 

[fahad203]

Askarov at 17 years old is clearly not ready for this level of hockey

It's very clear the pressure got to him. I hope he recovers mentally

Russian fans in this thread: “Askarov sucks he’s the only reason we’re behind”

Russian fans a week from now: “He’s still a generational prospect though”

Fun fact: both this takes can be true the same time.

 

[Zub]

How will the finnish ref answer this ??? Will be exciting to watch !!!

Really? Grow up.
