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

What does that mean? lol

All you need to know in Finnish is "Sisu" or "Perkele".

If they score, it's sisu. If they give up a goal, perkele.

 

[John Agar]

Some of our Canadian refs have undoubtedly married American citizens, or their relatives have.

This conspiracy has no bottom to it.

I work with a guy who is exactly this...

A retired ref who married an American girl...

 

[Mattb124]

Our Canadian referees spend a lot of time in the US with the whole cross-border shopping thing so you had better believe that they are going to be heavily biased against you.

We even speak the same language! And we watch the same television programmes and listen to the same music.

So, better buckle up for referees who will do everything they can to promote the anglosphere.

We watch programs.

Right, and who do you think paid that American girl to seduce the ref?

That's right, Hockey Canada. Favours for favours.

So the name of the team is getting scored on? Hmmm

Suomi....

 

[SUX2BU]

Why do they say Stutzle-la ?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Lineup?

Mrs. Ref ...

She's Russian heritage...

Not kidding...

Another douchebag...

Signing in...

Even the word douchebag (Yiiekkess!) Makes you singnin' in and out of this tread - and that pronto. Piss off. Pleas Sir!
Either USA or Finn.

 

[SI90]

Let’s go!!! USA!!!

 

[The Blue Baron]

This just in..

The Refs are Canadian so they are gonna try and get as many players injured on the winning side, which they prefer are Finns, for Canada as possible!!!!

Go refs Go!

We can take both of y’all at the same time.

They must've made extra shitty ice to get some groin injuries going, too!

Thanks...

I'll take that as a compliment...

Zegras and Zeebras are the ones to watch out for this game

At least Mulletman is funny.

 

[Dexter Colt]

Very nervous to see how the 1st shakes out. And even if USA gets a goal or two, Finland has shown they're not fazed at all. Gonna be a heck of a game.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Here we go

Hatakka is caught like a deer on headlights and USA almost scores on the 1st shift

 

[AKL]

Sure hope Caufield actually comes to play tonight. Would love to see the Caufield that Canadiens fans think they got.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

How much depth will Finland have next year? Lambert, Räty, Helenius, Tuomisto, Salminen, Hirvonen, Niemelä, Viro, Suomi etc. Looking like the team will get stronger than this year without Lundell and Heinola.

 

[Del Preston]

I'm just here for the Caufield posts.

 

[John Agar]

No communication by the Finns to their defenseman on that forecheck...

Talk boys...

 

[NyQuil]

I actually know a couple of the refs from playing Junior and they told me before the game that they are both big fans of Finland and will be reffing accordingly.

So things are finally going your way!

 

[Opak]

Sure hope Caufield actually comes to play tonight. Would love to see the Caufield that Canadiens fans think they got.

Less than 30 seconds in - looks like he did.
