GDT: Semi-Finals: Sweden vs Finland; Jan. 4, 2025; 15:30 EST

[Hai]

Wot? No coach’s challenge?

 

[Bruce Granville]

That is McDavid level of goal

And Georgiev level of goaltending…

 

[king89]

ALASIURURA!!!!!

Did not know he had this much skill before the tournament guy a beast

 

[PanniniClaus]

ALASIURUA!

I am a huge fan of this guy

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Swede coach is an idiot. That was goalie interference.

 

[jj cale]

Sweden better show me that want it a little more then what they have shown so far.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Thelin has already lost this game - mentally.

 

[Bgav]

Finland is sick, thought the last goal should have been challenged, wasn’t pushed into the goalie - should have been goal tender interference

 

[Seedtype]

Hmm, I think the Swedish player was responsible for driving the guy into his goalie, but a challenge may have worked.

 

[hockey20000]

that looked pushed in lol is the swedish coach stupid?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Love how you can drop your shoulder and take a line directly into the goalie's face but if a dman puts a pinky on you it's all good lol

 

[Svedu]

Did not know he had this much skill before the tournament guy a beast

Agreed! And boy'oh'boy does he compete! He skates hard and checks like a beast and isn't afraid of dangling and going straight to the net. Love his effort!!!! Sisua p*rkele!

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Sub Thelin for 3rd that is our only chance (even though they’ve already lost)

 

[FinPanda]

Alasiurua has been excellent in this tournament.

What an exciting game, I happily take this performance from Thelin

 

[ManWithNoName]

Swede coach is an idiot. That was goalie interference.

Edstrom cross checking him into Thelin.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Fun period after a boring first

Alasiurua has been very noticeable this tournament. Has the size and speed you’d look for in a bottom six pro. I wonder if he’s made his way onto some draft boards

 

[agent082]

McDavid and maybe MacKinnon can do goals like this

 

[Kevin27NYI]

I don't think that was goalie interference but that goalie can't swallow a puck to save his life, I'd play the backup for the third

 

[ItWasJustified]

That goal was on Theo Lindstein. Why did he go into the slot where no Finnish player were instead of stepping up to the Finnish goalscorer and just block his way to the goal?

 

[Luolis]

Apart from the last 5 minutes of the period Finland has straight up been the better team. As long as we dont take dumb penalties or start playing scared, we have it.

 

[jonlin]

Surprised they didn't challenge that

Swedens coach actually was talking in his mic to their videocoach. I gues the videocoach said it wouldnt be good to take a 2min penalty + goal, when Swedens D pushed Alasiuru on his own goaltender?

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

clean goal, huge goal - Finland won the period deservedly

 

[jonlin]

Swede coach is an idiot. That was goalie interference.

Open your eyes - he talked to their videocoach and didnt want a penalty + goal allowed. Learn the rules - if D pushes opponent on the goalie - the goal stands. Challenge dismissed - 2min penalty.

 

[GbgRanger]

Goalie interference clear as day

 

[JJTT]

Alasiurua should be on the powerplay instead of Rautiainen, he has done nothing there.
