GDT: 2014 Gold Medal Game • Sweden vs. Finland

[llwyd]

Hmm, to my mind this is interestingly "onesided" as the Swedes don't seem to get any good chances on 5 on 5 at all. The boring old statistics tell that they had like 8 shots in the third period. Luckily the new rules are in force, so they will get automatic power plays instead....

20 min OT followed by shootout? 5on5? 4on4?

Believe it's 5-on-5.

Nailbiter game. Hope justice will be done in OT

 

[KingMatthews]

What? There will be SO after the OT?? That's just...****ed

That's nothing new. In fact it's been that way for years.

 

[matzz]

I'm gonna get a heartattache before this is over..

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Lol at complaining on the refs. Start skating and stop standing on your heals instead

NJ won a couple of Championships playing that way bud

 

[FF de Mars]

Go Finland against goliath... But stop blaming the refs for Nietzsche's sake ! So lame. Russian fans blamed the refs yesterday against Sweden. Canada fans blamed the refs yesterday against Finland. Blaming the refs is the weakest excuse in the book. May the best team on the ice win.

Go Finland !

Yupp. The CAN couldn't do that yesterday.
I'm confident our team can do it today.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Sweden will win. I can't see us scoring another goal.

 

[Back in Black]

I really hope the FINS win this one.

This is an Embarrassment on SWEDEN's part!

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Too bad finns didn't get game misconduct on the elbow to the head on Collberg.

 

[Jaan]

OT is up, let's hope that justice prevails!

 

[Hzzz]

I'm perfectly fine with the silver medals. Although winning would be nice ofc.

But according to this http://www.worldjunior2014.com/en/news/awards/
Dansk was the best goalie of the tournament.

 

[Nordic*]

How can you call that a perfect hip-check? He took the knees, not the hip.

And Finland has gotten away with several calls, among others the puck out of play, elbow to the head of Collberg and crosscheck to the face on Johnsson.

 

[HabsTPS]

At least in a shootout the refs can't decide the winner... I think.

Surely they'll find a way.

 

[MaNNe]

Sweden has won this, but it's not because of the refs, they have just been the better team. There has been bad calls both ways this game like not calling a penalty on the hit on Collberg. Anyways Finland always 100% chokes on OT and shootouts so congrats Sweden

 

[Tompa8989*]

If Sweden won't win in OT they will definitely win in shootout. 100% sure of that.

Whatever helps ya sleep at night!

Blaming the refs never gets old, seriously

 

[stolpioni*]

There has been no ref-favoring for Sweden at all.

Finland has had one crossbow to the face and one stick in the face without penalty. To compensate for those terrible acts, Sweden has gotten one easy PP.

Stop blaming the refs. Sweden is better. They skate.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Finland should be celebrating right now.

Oh well. Go get 'em in OT.

 

[Jussi]

Tamminen ripping the refs a new one for their inconsistency.

 

[Hedning]

Sweden sucks, a bunch of girls. I hope Finland wins this, they got heart and outplayed the Canadians and the team that likes to fight and taunt other teams when the game is over and then whine to the media that the other teams have no respect.

OK traitor, remove that flag please.

Overtime... As in 2012. Who wants to be a hero this time?

 

[Juzmo]

Would be nice to have a continuous OT in the final game of the tournament, but I just hope Finns can somehow get the garbage goal before the shootout... so it would be a bit sweeter.

 

[SoupyFIN]

What a shameful performance by the refs so far.

Obvious calls on Vainonen (elbowing) and Pokka (cross-checking or high sticking) missed, and these BS phantom calls on Mustonen and Ristolainen called.

 

[Humppaknight]

Refs are giving the gold for sweden.
