GDT: WJC - Finland vs Germany, Dec 27, 2023

I think they got that one right, players should not be rewarded fro turning their backs at the last second. The recipient of the hit should carry some responsibility.

Hey you are allowed to think whatever you want... That was a pretty tough check right into numbers in IIHF. Hell, they would consider 5min it on NHL or any other WC or Olympics....

Mike Johnson has to be one of the worst colour analyst….following Ray is a tough job but he’s like watching with my niece. TSN needs to improve

 

[Luolis]

Watching IIHF officials helps to remind me that it could be worse.

I dunno man. After watching most Habs games this season, i would much rather have these guys. I mean i dont think theres been any miscalls in this game (unless Pulkkinen got tripped in the 3-4 goal.)

And there is your next DOPS...

Unlike Parros, I'm here to help.

Disagree on the hit from behind -



The recipient is turned to the boards (and yes, mishandles the puck) the entire time prior to contact. He didn't just turn at the last moment, he's fully facing the boards the whole time. That's normally an IIHF five.

It wasn't as straightforward and the player turning his back towards the field of play at the last second made it looks worse.

Finnish hockey is so shit right now.

No, he was heading along the boards with his side towards the ice. He turned his back at the last second. I think the fact that he wasn't injured at all, also played into it.

finland vs cze for relegation ?

His shoulders are never perpendicular to the boards. He's facing the wall. It was the wrong call.

He's not fully facing the wall and was moving forward along the boards until the last second turn. Plus it happened in fairly low speed.

Finland hockey is regressing

I don't care anymore.
We got an NBA allstar player ( Lauri Markkanen ) last season so i'm turning to basketball fan mostly.

I'm seriously considering to skip rest of U20 WJC's after tonight's game
i can't watch this bullshit hockey and clueless bozo coach named Lauri Mikkola any further.

Mikkola may actually be worse than Rautakorpi.

No shit sherlock.
Do you didn't tell news but i agree.

If Germany wins this, they are tracking for 3rd place in the group assuming no more upsets (with Finland 4th).

If that happens and US - Slovakia play for first place in the other group, it will be interesting to see how those 2 teams approach that game.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Even avoiding relegation round is a challenge for these cluelessly coached bozos.
FIRE Lauri Mikkola NOW.

I like him. He's never rubbed me the wrong way and he's spot on most of the time, imo.

yeah but not according to @Jussi.. and I quote "He's not fully facing the wall"

 

[Jussi]

We also suck at faceoffs.

 

[jj cale]

German p.k has to go to work.

C'mon Finland!

 

[Jussi]

German p.k has to go to work.

Have you seen our powerplay? Or I should say powerkill. They don't have to do much work.

Jesus lol.

Well today, i am not sure how much i can be counted on for.

 

[sadpanda]

This team is making me depressed

 

[Chainshot]

Sumpf probably wants that one back.

 

[SoundAndFury]

That legendary prediction that it's going to be Slovakia - Germany in the relegation round was some jinx.
