GDT: Semifinal • Sweden vs. Finland

[bobbyt 91*]

Nop only heard that he wont play anymore in this tournament.

sucks thats he isn't in this game, however I think the Nylanders will be a big plus to the Olympic team in the future

 

[NyQuil]

I actually think officiating was great. It is unfortunate situation that there was too many penalties however calls must be made regardless of the situation.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

I disagree vehemently.

 

[matzz]

A German ref. What kind of hockey does he usually face back in Germany.... Nah he do what he can but is not up to the task.

Referees overall hasnt been so good in this torny, in my opinion. But they have a tough job though

 

[Nordic*]

Kempe has been absolute trash today.

Agreed. He has been our best over all player before this game. Totally trash today.

 

[PTmbp13]

Two goals by refs. They HAVE to make it up. Somehow.

 

[Saekki*]

There has been only one good penalty in this game, Kempe one in the first period, rest are highly questionable.

Can't edit, but of course the too many men by Sweden also.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

It was about as blatant as the "charging".

It was a face wash, did you even see the replay?

 

[IamherefortheFinn]

Today we have had good goaltending and semi decent defense.

Now we just need a couple of more goals...

 

[llwyd]

Yep, hopefully the refs would now stay back and let the teams play.

 

[Svinet]

Game over, Sweden really weak today and wont come back. Swedish offence is so fcking bleak.

 

[NyQuil]

It was a face wash, did you even see the replay?

It was two guys tangled up in the corner.

I think your definition of "roughing" is much more liberal than mine.

 

[Nordic*]

I have no idea what Sweden is doing, we're not playing like we use to. Everything takes forever and we have no wheels.

 

[Hedning]

Way too cute now. Not a good PP either. More direct hockey please.

 

[BB88]

Yeah i can imagien how you would sound with weak call against you

Aho call was awful.

 

[paragon]

That penalty on Karlsson was brutal, but at least the refs are consistent. Egli's suspension made it clear even incidental contact to the head is not allowed.

 

[aphyro]

Agree with a play like this they dont deserve to win...

 

[Canadian Finn]

The Swedes are not "out" of this one by any means.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Bad calls happen. If you want to truly deserve a win, you have to play well enough that a bad call doesn't ruin it. It's not an excuse for bad play, and it's all Team Finland now.

 

[Spender]

Game was fun until refs decided to ruin it with their bad calls. Can they just get out of the ****ing way and let the kids play hockey?

 

[NyQuil]

Cross-check after the whistle!

(just kidding)

 

[Plural]

Sweden lost some of their wheels. But man are these swedes strong. Hitting everything that moves.

 

[aphyro]

Nop but i sure hope this ref wont ref the medal games.

This Swedish team looks tired now.

 

[Nordic*]

Sweden has no jump at all. Their legs seem dead. Noone is flying, looks like they're skating on gravel.

 

[Tryblot]

Aesthetically, Finland vs Sweden is nice to watch.

 

[Canadian Finn]

why don't they use NHL refs in this tournament?

Does the IIHF actually feel their ref's are sufficient for this tournament?
