GDT: U18 Semifinals (USA-SVK, CAN-SWE)

[ORRFForever]

Canada should insist these ref are not part of the GMG. Shameful.

Yes that garage should not be there. The officials from the US game should do it.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Can't see Canada turtle defence working vs USA

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Iginla has made a few bad play

Another bullshat call. Swedish player interferes with Martone. Should not have been icing.

I didn't like the pass out front of the Swed net to noone, when he could have killed mor etime in their end

 

[ORRFForever]

That is why I don't like this IIHF stuff - minus the WJRS.

So... Sweden was completely clean for the final 30 minutes, while Canada was called over and over and over, again?

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Bring on the Americans! Rest up boys, you'll need your A game!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Exactly. That was one play I was thinking of. Should have held on to it or shot it behind the net.

It never works against anyone - including Sweden today.

 

[Boonk]

Canada really had to beat 3 teams out there today, Sweden, the refs and themselves. What a miserable lack of initiative to let Sweden come close like that. They were lucky this time, tomorrow they wont be if they keep playing like this vs the US.

Final 30 mins:

Sweden: 1 penalty (2 techincally)
Canada: 3 penalties

Excuse me, what?

Edit: first 30 was 3-2 Sweden. So Canada ended up with 1 (technically 0) more penalty than Sweden.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Well, see you guys early tomorrow!

 

[Erikfromfin]

I remember world junior finals where penalties were 8-1 from every Bedard dive etc. Crosby dived win vs Finland in Sochi etc.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Final 30 mins:

Sweden: 1 penalty (2 techincally)
Canada: 3 penalties

Excuse me, what?

Well there are also infractions not called but not a significant difference.

 

[ORRFForever]

I know Sweden was coming back before the 5 minute call but...

The 5 minute call changed the game. The Canadians got VERY cautious after that call and you cannot play like that.

Add the fact that Sweden (apparently) did not take one penalty for almost 1.5 periods and....

This is why the IIHF is B.S..

The reffing was garbage / slanted. Keep these refs away from the GMG.

I too run on straight vibes at times.

I don't know what that means and it doesn't matter. Enjoy your weekend.

 

[JackSlater]

Good job by Sweden coming on strong after a horrific start. Canada has talent but I hated how they sat back.

it's absolutely not at all insane to whine about a penalty Finland got called for.... over a decade ago..... in a game where Canada vastly outplayed Finland...... at a different tournament and age level than this...... in a thread about four teams, none of which is Finland. Not insane in the least.

Just putting Canada on their place with refereeing history. Not that hard to dominate when you have 16 minutes of powerplay from every Bedard dive and referees don't see other teams fauls

Reffing is pretty unpredictable man, every fan base and team thinks the ref is out to get them and the other team gets preferential calls, and every other fan base disagrees.

 

[ORRFForever]

Watching a little Bull Riding on TSN - after the semis. To each their own but... I don't get it on so many levels.

I am off for a walk. Leafs in 7 !!!!!

 

[Jukurit]

Not very impressed with Canada. Sweden better team for 2 periods. I think USA takes gold tomorrow.

Canada is a deeper team. We'll se if that makes any difference tomorrow.

It's Canadians, they always blame officials when play like shit...

Oh yeah you really put Canada in its place champ. Regale us with tales from more tournaments where Canada dominated - Canadians won't even show their faces again.
