GDT: Slovakia - Switzerland 19 20 (CET)

Strategy for upcoming period, watch your mouth!!

 

[jcbio11]

Are they trying to get all emotion out of the game? Seriously that was the weirdest penalty.

 

[flemo]

Unsportsmanlike conduct used to be 10 min penalty without powerplay, wasn't?

 

[tmlmatus]

heh, well that's definitely an interesting penalty.

75.2. MINOR PENALTY
A Minor Penalty for “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” shall be assessed under this rule for the following infractions:
(I) Any identifiable Player who uses obscene, profane or abusive language or gestures directed at any person.


Fits pretty good.

would have been way more penalties if actually enforced

Thanks for quick reaction ;-). I can imagine the words Knazko used, just not sure about language he used.

 

[Phil McKraken]

That’s not a penalty. Who cares if you taunt your opponent, siegenthaler did the exact same thing after he scored.

Depends on what you say. The refs probably heard something.

 

[Speyer]

wow, never seen a penalty for taunting the opponent before

Snowflake ideology, slowly creeping into hockey. I wonder what will be next. An extra minor in case the offending player "draws" tears with his insults?

 

[GettingYourMoms]

I guess Knazko shouted something racist like: "You filthy mountainous neutral!!"

 

[WarriorofTime]

Does anyone know what he might have said? Had to be something offensive, like a slur or whatever. You just don't see that kind of penalty called very often

 

[torero]

we have to restart the game.

2-2

It's good ... we had it too easy this far ... only shutouts

 

[mosare]

The swiss missed way too many chances

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Thanks for quick reaction ;-). I can imagine the words Knazko used, just not sure about language he used.

But even if they decided to call that they then should have offset it with a penalty on the Swiss for the hit after the play was dead.

Hockey is doomed

Maybe Richard said something the ref didn’t hear. Ever heard of slavophobia? Switzerland doesn’t have an equivalent.

Still, dumb penalty either way. I wouldn’t want a Swiss player to get called for celebrating in front of Slovak player at all

 

[tuniak]

Knazko was watching Leafs elimination game. Worth the penalty just for memes, if we win.

 

[jcbio11]

Now I just need to know what he said.

 

[Old Man Jags]

So contrary to how Czech commenters have been building up the Swiss here as some invincible Hulks who cannot be scored against, I guess they are still at least a bit vulnerable when they play against a semi-OK team. That’s reassuring.

 

[torero]

But even if they decided to call that they then should have offset it with a penalty on the Swiss for the hit after the play was dead.

Yes ... i didn't see this one ... did Richard provoke ... or was he just there and the Slovak, by celebrating bumped into him ?

 

[jj cale]

this game will be good for this Swiss team

Not true. The Germans used to call us *Kuhschweizer" during the Swabian war in the last few years of the 15th century. This term is pretty much untranslatable, but basically implies that the swiss are having sexual relations with their cows. Continues to this day to some degree.

So get your facts straight!

 

[Jon Riley]

It's Richard... safe to assume he provoked

 

[mosare]

Only 10 shoots but 2 goals for the slovaks. Efficiency par exellence

 

[WeberStreit]

They showed the ref cam replay on the swiss TV: the slovak player was still arguing and taunting on the way to the bench, that’s when the ref called the penalty. Really dumb move by #22.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Nemec is very impressive so far!

How did he play later on? I can only watch Team Finland's games.
