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

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Lambert benched again? Kapanen was on the pp and Koivunen played on 5vs5

Yep.

Step 1: Set player up to fail
Step 2: Watch player struggle
Step 3: Bench player

Reminds me of Sam Bennett in Calgary

 

[gritdash60]

Has Kemell gotten a shot on net this game yet?

Has Kemell gotten a pass that he could one-time on the PP this game yet?

 

[Jussi]

Yep.

Step 1: Set player up to fail
Step 2: Watch player struggle
Step 3: Bench player

Reminds me of Sam Bennett in Calgary

By playing him?

? Guy tried to dangle on offensive blue line unnecessarily and gave the puck away, then in the defensive zone he completely was sleepwalking, missed his defensive assignment and his guy scored.

This probably was the most deserving benching of any player in the entire tournament.

 

[Zub]

Has Kemell gotten a pass that he could one-time on the PP this game yet?

Plenty

 

[ORRFForever]

We won't.

Worse or better?

 

[Jussi]

5-2! Räty.

 

[Erikfromfin]

how many assist kemell gotten already? 3?

 

[kudla]

I feel so bad for Latko...

 

[gritdash60]

Plenty

Yeah if you have a 4 meter wheelhouse, 95% of the passes seems to be 2meters behind him.

 

[JJTT]

What a shot by Räty

 

[Nate070]

Niemelä is absolutely terrible at running PP from the point.

His passing in PP is atrocious

 

[Summer Rose]

I feel sorry for the Slovakian goaltender.

 

[Jussi]

That one was on the goalie.

 

[Zub]

That 1st line with Raty and Hirvonen is so fun to watch, their chemistry is off the charts, if Kemell meshed better with them they would score like crazy.

 

[Zerotonine]

Refs on Finland here? 6 pps to 1???

Fins with 3 Pp goals

 

[jj cale]

6-2, game is long over.

 

[ijuka]

Kemell just set Räty up for a goal.

Every single PP was a good call, maybe your team shouldn't do knee on knee hits and play so recklessly?

Kemell just set Räty up for a goal.

He did, but overall he's not been even close to as visible and impactful as Hirvonen and Raty.

You still have to evaluate the reffing on the calls made not on their nationality, if the calls were infractions, they have no choice but to call them.


You can't automatically resort to "ref must be helping team" as your default position, you are abandoning reason when doing this.

As a neutral fan I think the Slovaks have earned their penalties. Perhaps a couple of calls missed on Suomi, the Slovak breakaway in particular (though it wasn’t the Suomi ref in position for that call, iirc).

 

[Chainshot]

It's not the officials calling specifically in favor of one team, it's that the team penalized is not keeping up and also not making smart plays.

So every game should end with the same amount of power plays?? Maybe Slovakia should cool off a little bit

 

[WeAre]

Slova and Kia good night

 

[snipes]

How has Maatta been? Wasn’t able to tune into this one
