Goalie interference clear as day

Just look outside…it‘s dark already.

This isnt innebandy - learn the f***ing rules. You cant push an opponent on your goalie and have goal dismissed.

 

[FinPanda]

With the way Sweden's PK has been going, I don't blame them for not challenging it

 

[Jussi]

TSN studio so unenthusiastic...

 

[Slimmy]

If Sweden loses this game you cant really say they choked. This is the first real test for this team. Now we see what they are actually made of.

I can.

 

[Jukurit]

I understand now why Swedish fans dislike Thelin.

lol probably bored without canada still in it ig u ess

 

[jonlin]

It`s easy to see that Swedens D dont really trust their goalie and why. The disallowed one was soft and after that he really gave out rebounds and the 3-2 for Finland the defenseman didnt trust his goalie to save, so pushed Alasiuru into him to not score and it backfired.

 

[Slimmy]

When*

They are still in it and they have some time left to show what they can do. But, not impressed with this team so far.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Thelin is so awful.

 

[Slimmy]

Thelin is so awful.

He's not the only issue with this team. But.. yah

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Seriously Finland no idiotic penalties any more if we wanna this game.
That Swedish powerplay and 5 vs 5 scares the shit's out of me.

Rimpinen plays well of course but quite often Swedish players are on the rebounds first.
There was some de ja vu moments of Slovakia game when Sweden had their rally into zone.

Lisää puita uuniin Suomi.
Liekitä liekitä liekitä.

 

[Svedu]

Sweden will win 5-3. Last one in open net.

Swedish PP is lethal. Eklund is so good. Stenberg and Sörum not lot worse.

I would love seeing Hemming or Alasiurua score another one. Or perhaps Helenius or Halttunen?

 

[Chainshot]

Thats how you best rimpinen

Seems like weird deflections are the way when someone is that dialed in. Still think this is going to go down to the wire.

 

[jonlin]

He's not the only issue with this team. But.. yah

I`d say Sweden has had some pretty good plays in the offensive zone. It`s really the goaltenders that has made the difference. Finland goalie is just better at this point. Otherwise it`s a pretty even game.

Also his play with the puck... Stuff of nightmares.

 

[Gazewithin]

Stenberg, FUS, Eklund, Wahlberg Nilsson should just rotate as if they were playing beer league with too few players.

 

[jonlin]

I`m guessing this way is gonna end 4-4 and we see an overtime.

 

[Martin Elz]

I must say, Edstrom looks more like a David Gustafsson than a Joel Eriksson-Ek.

 

[hockey20000]

pellika must take 10 shots a game lol

 

[RedHawkDown]

Eklund is so f***ing good

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Eklund is so f***ing good

Then till him to score

 

[Chainshot]

There are times I wish Helenius didn't revel in the physical contact, drawing the hit to him. He does that in the AHL too. Someone is going to put him into orbit someday.
