GDT: Semi-Final | United States Vs Finland | 9:30 PM ET | NHLN/TSN

[The Blue Baron]

Looks like the states need to pop a Viagra speaking of!

 

[snipes]

Hell yes brother!

I even skipped my nightly outdoor skate and shinny game with people from the neighbourhood to watch this one live.

No regrets so far, the longer this stays close the more it favours the Finns I think.

Someone didn't claim the 7.6 million Jackpot on New Years Eve....Hell of a way to start off the year. Win and then lose life changing money.

ouch

 

[Mickey Marner]

Jim Sandlak was my coach for a couple years haha. Had no idea Carter was a ref now.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I don’t really feel they’re dominating. The shot total is misleading. The US is trying to be pretty and their chances have largely been better while the Fins are mostly just throwing everything at the net and hoping for dirty type goals

Wdym? The US hasn't gotten 1 good real organized attack yet in the whole game

 

[King 88]

Too much powerplay for Finland. Waiting for easy penalty to even things.

 

[Merton Chesney]

Sucks having to listen to Nelson/Starman over MIller/Ferraro...

I like Starman. Reminds me of Bob Norton the way he knows every player’s Squirt coach.

 

[trilobyte]

Must be Canadian

Dammit, you got me, you bazzt1rd LOL

 

[Shocker]

Should just start giving the Finns a diving penalty on the next flop.

Or keep giving USA penalties from obvious fouls?

 

[NyQuil]

Hold your horses, it was your opinion that refs suck and are biased.

That opinion seems to depend on the score and how many powerplays your own team has.

 

[snipes]

LOL, ref.

"It's a good battle, GET UP!"

Welcome to Western Canada.

 

[57special]

Refs swallowing whistles now

 

[Minty Cowboy]

Kokkonen playing better today

 

[Zub]

Is this Lindel kid a Barkov clone?

Lundell* And yes minus the hands, but better goalscoring i'd say, skating too.

 

[John Agar]

Have I said before how much I love the way Beniers plays. He’s great away from the puck too, multiple strong defensive plays that shift

Ya you're kinda' Rain-man-ish...

 

[NorCalhockey]

I’m ok with that Zegras shot just now. Get pucks to net and test the goalie. Finn goalie really hasn’t been tested too much

No the finns are controlling the game.

Also their goal was nice and US goal was a crappy bounce.

The finns are attacking pretty hard and the US Dmen are struggling. Theyve coughed up the puck a few times pretty badly.

 

[Fatass]

Did Zegras just get caught from behind in s foot race by the Finn D man? Who is that flying Finn?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

have to muck the game up, finns are playing faster, can we start hitting some guys?

 

[Oleksiak]

Or keep giving USA penalties from obvious fouls?

Wasn't a penalty; the refs are clearly sick of the Finns going down easier than Tijuana entertainers. Cut the diving BS out and maybe they'll start giving the Finns the benefit of the doubt.

Well that's not true.

 

[Summer Rose]

So what? Bad ref is bad ref.

I agree. I don't like to see bad officiating even if my team benefits.

 

[jepjepjoo]

Blatant holding and ref yells gwt up good battle???

 

[McDrai]

Zegras has been really cheating the last few shifts, looking for that long breakout pass

 

[NyQuil]

Welcome to Western Canada.

I play soccer in the summer and we had a Brit we were playing throw himself down and roll excessively across the field.

The ref smirks and play goes on. The closest defender and I just stood over him, shaking our heads.

"Yeah, we don't do that here."

He looked kind of sheepish and got up.
