GDT: Semifinal • Jan. 4 • Sweden vs. Russia

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Stick shouldn't be there, but no idea how it could have caused the Russian to fall over like that

Maybe we should make a compilation video of all of those falls and add it to this thread.

 

[hackytorque]

Thats a bad and dangerous hit.

 

[Captain Bowie]

That's a major 5 mins for sure.

 

[polarbearcub]

Dirty dangerous play

 

[Adanac]

May be 2 minutes for boarding...but that's just stupid.

 

[Striiker]

Dirty hit, out he goes.

 

[Black Label]

That should be 5 and a game.

 

[EP40 AKA Lil Wayne]

The followup with elbow towards the head against the boards is not pretty.
Lucky he missed that.

Yeah, that elbow could of been real nasty, I don't think it warrants more than 2 min tho.

 

[ellja3]

2+10

 

[polarbearcub]

Wow...... Ridiculous

 

[BlitzSnipe]

not they're going to score.

 

[Chimpradamus]

That should be 5 + 20, that could easily have ended the guy's career. Worst possible distance, then it doesn't matter that he only shoved him in the back.

 

[MTrangers]

Jesus...what's it take to get 5?

 

[Bill Waters*]

game over because of this paly

 

[Striiker]

Calling a Lindblom goal.

 

[WilliamNylander]

BS call

 

[Farnham4top6]

Why couldn't it be Hägg?
But as long it isn't Aho Sweden will take losing a dman for a pp

 

[canadianmagpie]

I think the refs wanted to avoid making a big impact on the game by awarding a 5 minute major and chickened out of making the right call.

 

[Freudian]

tobad nylander has to play with such scrubs. really below his talent level.

Good training for his NHL career.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Wow how did they only call that 2?

2 mins should be if you ride a guy into the boards from behind, but he had the shove a couple feet away from the boards where it is most dangerous, as you saw that's where you go head first while falling forward.

 

[Adanac]

You can't be serious? That's a textbook hit from behind.

Won't be surprised if it's 5 and a game

I don't think you know what a hit is...he barely pushed him. That happens 10000 times during any game, I am not sure why he went down so hard.

 

[WilliamNylander]

nylander going full kessel on this PP not even moving

 

[Fossy21]

Nylander should've let Forsling shoot, squared up against a guy without a stick. Shoots straight on a defender instead.

 

[aphyro]

Russian killing this PP so far

 

[MTrangers]

Yeah, that elbow could of been real nasty, I don't think it warrants more than 2 min tho.

So what would? If that's not checking from behind what is?
