GDT: Finland - Czech Republic

[Shocker]

All 3 of the Czechia penalties were on the attacking zone.

 

[Gereth]

Some of the penalty calls are pretty puzzling.

I personally wouldn't have called the 1st and 2nd ones and could see some ref not calling any of them.

Edit: Mäenalanen lmao.

 

[FinPanda]

Well bad calls and bad PP

 

[Finnswiss]

I‘m not sure but did Olkinuora play last season in the KHL and if yes in which team or in the Finnish liiga?

 

[Czechboy]

Really disappointing power play

 

[FinPanda]

Anttila is actually useful on PK

I‘m not sure but did Olkinuora play last season in the KHL and if yes in which team or in the Finnish liiga?

He did play in the KHL but not sure where he played after that, but definitely not in Finland.

Really disappointing power play

Now that is where Anttila is good, lmao.

 

[ijuka]

Czech PP was not very threatening.

 

[mattihp]

He is still even nowadays. Unfortunately it happens only once or twice in a season. He’s such a weird player. He should have some really nice offensive skills, but you see him use them very rarely. But when you see it happen, it really wows you!

A dangler dangles, so no. He's not a dangler. But he knows how to do it!

 

[Czechboy]

We will be well rested for Germany but I hope this lazy play does not become part of our quarterfinal game! 1 goal in last 5 periods and counting

 

[ijuka]

Right place at the right time, scored few big goals in the champ run.

Really all that there is, but Karjala-lippikset eat that shit and ask for seconds.

A couple of fluke goals, whoo-hoo.

He's scored 6 goals in 41 WC games. A couple of those happened to come in one game, big deal.

He's one of those "close eyes and whack the puck and hope it goes in"-sorta players offensively.

Yes, able to play on PK.

 

[Gereth]

Pretty flawless penalty kill. I hoped to at least go with a bang. Losing 3:0 is quite disappointing. But I can understand intensity going down in third. More important match ahead.

 

[Czechboy]

5-1 Canada.. barring some unlikely things...

US vs Swiss
Canada vs Sweden?
Czechs vs Germany
Finn's vs slovaks

I think... Amazingly, all 4 games interest me... Hope Canada vs Sweden not at same time as Czechs vs germany

 

[Ippenator]

Now that is where Anttila is good, lmao.

I love him for that. An excellent PK player. So what if he doesn’t produce that much? But he can keep the opponent pretty well off the scoresheet. A pretty perfect 4th liner in my opinion - even nowadays.

Yeah, i'm not telling you that he's a good player, i'm saying that's the reason why the casuals love him.

 

[Finnswiss]

Sorry for the Finns but this was not worth a 2 minutes penalty but fortunately this wrong call of the referee isn’t game decisive by this score.

 

[ijuka]

But yeah, the Czech big name guys have mostly been invisible from what I've seen. Kari Jalonen's Koohotushockey seems to not be working very well, surprisingly enough.

Funny how Czechia wasted almost a minute just passing between the same 2 guys over and over again 6v5.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

No heart and desire from cze! Tactical loss....

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I guess people forget Anttila was the man when Finland scored the game winning goal that won them the Olympic gold.

 

[Czechboy]

Good D by the Finn's.. they are trying to score and getting nowhere

 

[SwissFan12]

Czech wants Germany in quarter, you can see this from the very start of this game

 

[karhukissa]

So Finland vs Slovakia then, best opponent to get for QF. Important win!

 

[Czechboy]

Well. The quarter final opponents i wanted to avoid were Canada, Sweden and Finland.

Sorry Sweden... Good luck with Canada.

Best news of day is Slovakia making it! Feel bad for Danes but happy when Slovaks do well.

 

[ijuka]

Anttila should have shot as soon as he passed red.
