GDT: Sweden - USA; Pool A, May 23rd, 2023

[Hockeyfrilla]

No call!

 

[Dala]

These turkey refs.

 

[theslatcher]

Why are you playing DLR, & Sörensen at 3v3, the hell Hallam.

 

[jj cale]

Well, Switzerland-Latvia could be a dark horse game for tonight. Latvia fighting for their tournament life. I think that one's gonna be more interesting than Finland-Denmark even as a finnish fan.

I agree.

 

[Luolis]

That's a good call by the refs. Clear followthrough.

 

[theslatcher]

Tynan could've easily scored that goal if he didn't take an hour to take the shot.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Samberg!!!

 

[theslatcher]

Deserved loss after starting DLR, & Sörensen at 3v3.

 

[jj cale]

Samberg to end it.

This American team a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Well there it is. Can't say I'm disappointed with a point after this game.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Deserverd win USA

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Holy cow, what an OT by the Americans.

 

[EK47]

And still playing the 4th line.

Well you know the old saying. If somethings broke don’t fix it.

 

[matsqq]

I'm OK wth the result, but not with the illegal hit on Sandin - hope Eyssimont gets what he deserves at some point

 

[Luolis]

Deserved win for USA in the end.

The quarterfinals seem to be forming quite exciting pairs.

Swe-Cze/Lat
Fin-Can
Sui-Ger
USA-Cze/Svk/Lat

 

[Chainshot]

Holy cow, what an OT by the Americans.

How are Hab fans able to walk after watching Lane Hutson?

 

[theslatcher]

Carlsson very deservedly getting Sweden's player of the game, somehow didn't get to play OT.

 

[OskarOskarius]

I have watched American wrestling more exciting.

Not giving a pen for a clear high stick is a bit much when they sent out Swedish players for farting in the first period.

The Swedish commentators are desperate to save this tournaments face saying US played better.

Yeah having 30+ penalty minutes while being allowed to knock the teeth out of your opponent do wonders for your game.

 

[EK47]

De La Rose and Sörensen 3v3 why don’t you just go over and tell then you wanna loose.

Oh that’s your way of saying it I see.

 

[Dala]

The interpretation of that rule is just bonkers in IIHF, it was (originally) meant for follow through on clear goal scoring attempts / shots on goal to not have to disallow goals for stupid reasons. Not frigging clearing the puck out of zone. Ffs. Madness.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

USA vs Sweden are always exciting games, from U18's to Skoda Cup

That is actually the rule. If you get hit by a high stick on a follow through move when you’re.. say trying to send the puck away there is no penalty. It’s a correct call. The rule might be whack but the call is correct.

Interesting.. maybe they need to clarify the rule then?

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Us the better team all game

Good chance winning it all but hope Sweden or Switzerland winns

 

[Dala]

Easiest fix is to only have it applicable in the ozone. (Apparently leaving it to the discretion of the refs to use common sense have failed. As it almost always does. )

Your lack of context here is truly breathtaking.
