GDT: U-18 WJC medal round games

[jonas2244]

That should have been a goal. Weak call.

 

[QnebO]

Swiss Malkin looks really good.

 

[Jussi]

Jussi did you see that penalty for Saarela?

Is that good or bad reffing to you?

Imo weak calls are bs. Plays like that definitely can't be whistled in playoffs. This is what Russian refs do very good compared to euro refs in general.

Yes, Saarela should know not to hook a player that's past him.

 

[QnebO]

Yes, Saarela should know not to hook a player that's past him.

Now I can see why you don't prefer many Russian refs. They actually let this kind of things go 100 times out of 100 in playoffs. And that is how it should be.

 

[Esko6]

Switzerland looks pretty good, I kinda little bit hope they win, just so Finland can avoid being crushed by the US.

 

[Jussi]

That should have been a goal. Weak call.

Nope, Swiss player was clearly in the crease before the puck and he went there without any help. Good call.

 

[totozenerd]

Wonderful tic-tac-toe there! Shoulda been a goal!

 

[Jussi]

No it shouldn't. Russian refs change their "line" constantly during games, that's why other countries don't want them in their games.

 

[JJTT]

Malgin and Impose look great once again.

 

[totozenerd]

Malgin and Impose look great once again.

Impose is seeing his draft ranking jump game after game...

 

[Erikfromfin]

Puck management been really bad for finns this game

 

[QnebO]

No it shouldn't. Russian refs change their "line" constantly during games, that's why other countries don't want them in their games.

Disagreed. I have seen about 70 games of from Russian refs this season. Specially in the playoffs they have been excellent. Equal line for both teams. Not whistling easy penalties but equally for both.

 

[Jussi]

I have to agree with Button, Puljujärvi and Laine are our only offensive threats.

 

[Esko6]

Finland has only one line that can get to Swiss zone, not looking too good.

 

[Jussi]

Disagreed. I have seen about 70 games of from Russian refs this season. Specially in the playoffs they have been excellent. Equal line for both teams. Not whistling easy penalties but equally for both.

It's completely irrelevant what they do in the KHL, it's their performance in international games that matters. Finns are much more trusted in international games.

 

[totozenerd]

Really, really like how this Swiss team is playing. The top line is incredibly impressive, and in general the Nati is playing a lot better than the Finns in this period. Only the Laine and Pullijarvi (sp?) line is looking dangerous for them.

 

[Periwinkle]

Why is the referee nationality discussion still going on? It has little relevance.

The Swiss are playing great. I think some of Finland's issues must be mental, though, Finland started the game great.

 

[The Noot]

Holy ****, that was a rough reminder for why I hate Blick as a newspaper and broadcaster.

 

[Jussi]

I don't know, I didn't bring it up. Some people are obsessed with KHL refs.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

I have to agree with Button, Puljujärvi and Laine are our only offensive threats.

I wasnt impressed with the play in the last games either - way too many complicated chips, a sense of not truly controlling the puck.. The play isnt well enough organized

 

[totozenerd]

Holy ****, that was a rough reminder for why I hate Blick as a newspaper and broadcaster.

What happened? I'm watching on RDS because I can't understand a word of Swiss-German

 

[Jussi]

5-3 pp for us now.

 

[Falling Snow]

what a dive, never should be a penalty

 

[totozenerd]

What a moron you are Thurkauf!

 

[QnebO]

Bad call again. Palmu pressing he's stick down, opponent loses the battle and falls down as a reaction -> 2min.
