GDT: Suomi vs Slovakia- 11am PT/ 2pm ET/ 9pm EEST

[Zub]

Thank god Kemell didn't have that leg completely planted, could have been really ugly.

 

[tmlmatus]

yeh, that was well deserved, at least maybe they move Dvorsky up the lineup. Sykora knew he f***ed up hard.

 

[vildurson]

Kemell is actually decent playmaker when he has time. He just thinks shot first every time if he has no time.

Really good to see no injury there. I’ve liked Sykora this tournament but just a bad reaction deserving of a Major.

 

[ijuka]

Kemell has a strong release but the aim requires some work I guess

 

[The Crypto Guy]

No injury, should have just been a minor. Oh well, game is over.

 

[JJTT]

Why is Puutio still on the first PP unit? He is useless and can't even handle the passes from Räty.

 

[vildurson]

He is volume shooter a'la Holtz. Shot placement was never his main strength.

Edit: his strenght with shot is mainly the pace/power and deception he has with his shot.

 

[Antiillafire]

Well hopefully we can kill this off and gain some momentum, keep it as close for as long as possible and maybe the Finn zebras will give us a PP or 2

 

[tobu]

Sykora knows he f***ed up. Glad there was no injury.

 

[ijuka]

The outcome does not affect whether it's a game misconduct.

 

[Jukurit]

Kemell has a strong release but the aim requires some work I guess

He missed the net often in Liiga too. Bit concerning.

 

[tobu]

how on earth did Zabka make this team btw?

The Slovakian team is handing this to Finland.

 

[Antiillafire]

His dad. I could think of at least 3-4 dman who deserve it more, and can actually think.

Didn't look intentional. The Fahrni kneeing yesterday actually looked worse. But with a finnish ref, what do you expect

Bro you clearly see him sticking out his leg to hit his leg, but ok blame the Finnish ref.

Clearly intentional.

Sticking out your knee like that requires significant effort, it's not something that happens just naturally.

 

[Summer Rose]

Y'all are too used to NHL officiating if you don't think that was a 5+20. That's a 5+20 easily by the IIHF officiating standard. It doesn't matter at all that it's a Finnish referee who called it. Stop making that kind of shit up.

 

[tobu]

What about his dad?

 

[WeAre]

Kneeing is for Girls so why they just send him home?

 

[Egresch]

Finnish referee! what kind of sorcery is this

This whole tournament is a massive joke.

 

[Antiillafire]

What about his dad?

His dad is good friends with Fenes and spent few years coaching the U18 team with him.

Of course it was clear 5+20.
Referees didn't have other choice / choices of course you can speculate that how much as you want.
But IIHF rulebook says clearly kneeing is automatic 5+20 so no excuses.

And yes it's good for Finland Kemell didn't injure himself.
But also Sykora should know better and be smarter especially because he has A in his jersey
and when you're assistant captain and you have leader's role in your team you have to show example
for your teammates but you can't take idiotic penalties.

It wasn't more than a 2' yesterday. It's a 5'+20' today because a finnish ref got to call it.
