GDT: WJC Quarter Finals: Game 23 | 1/2 | 3:30PM PST | Finland Vs Canada

Absolutely nothing wrong with that hit at all, that's hockey.

 

[snipes]

Probably the worst player for Canada this tournament if you ask me. Making the wrong decision constantly

Easily our worst player.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That was not a clean hit...

How? He was lined up for the hit and the Finn and the Finn tried to bail out and left his leg back....That is not a penalty.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Unfortunate for Heinola

 

[4thlineduster]

If that was my kid , I'd be having a little discussion with the coach after the game . No matter what , that was uncalled for .

What happened?

 

[Auston Marlander]

In that particular play it looked like the Finns needed a break and the goalie wanted to do that too but then the ref can force them to keep playing? The Canadians were hanging really close by too, just a weird look.

Also, don't know what the fuzz about Canada's goaltending has been about, DiPietro looks fantastic.

I dont recall the play, but I'm guessing the ref felt they weren't in a position that reburied the goalie ti cover. Your team being tired isnt enough of the other team isnt close enough. Bit weird, but it's also in the NHL.

Delay of game on goalie

 

[snipes]

I think hes getting hurt either way.

Comtois was going for blood. That’s the type of forecheck we need.

 

[IslandBeast]

Leading with your leg into a hit liek that is dirty as hell. anybody who has played knows this

 

[Big Cactus]

Probably doesn't get hurt if he doesn't dive out of the way and just accepts that he's gonna get hit.

This, but remember, on HFBoards there is never any responsibility for the guy with the puck to protect themselves.

 

[Saekk]

Eh, looked worse real time, nothing really wrong with the replays though.

 

[sadpanda]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that hit at all, that's hockey.

Imagine the reactions if it was the other way around.

This might get ugly

 

[jj cale]

Great shoulder hit!!.............more compete like that please boys!!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I don't think it will work when you do it

It always does.

 

[king89]

The guy tried to avoid the hit. Wasn’t dirty.

Did you not see where Comtois had his elbows? He would have crushed him if Heinola wouldn't slip.

 

[snipes]

More of that Tippett. Start playing the Canadian way.

 

[John Agar]

Finally...

Back bone appearing...

3 good hits at the right times in less than 30 seconds...

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Anybody knows if the finland coach sell nuclear weapons on the side of his hockey coach career?
He looks like a villain from movies.

 

[jj cale]

Imagine the reactions if it was the other way around.

This might get ugly

wouldnt have bothered me in the least. Clean hit.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Great stop

 

[Canucks LB]

Oh shit DP!

 

[Maplebeasts]

Dipietro is sick

 

[Blender]

Huge save by DiPietro. Not really much of a shot from Tolvanen though...

 

[Boonk]

my god what a save by mikey

 

[McDrai]

Dipietro is so elite

 

[Avs425]

What a save!
