GDT: WJC: Austria Vs Finland | Dec 27 | 2PM

[jonlin]

These refs really hate Finland today

Well, if we want to be f***ed by refs - today is the day. Rather now than against real teams.

 

[TMLeafer]

Swedish referee again?

One of the refs is Finnish I believe, probably being extra punitive for that reason, for the optics.

 

[SoundAndFury]

They just want to keep the game somewhat close

 

[RandomTask26]

Did Ferraro call him “Heimo-salami”?

He posts to hfboards and doesn't want to come out as a homer.

 

[JJTT]

Wtf was that penalty on Niemelä? They somehow forgot to give him the 10 minute miscoduct which should be automatic.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Did Ferraro call him “Heimo-salami”?

Yes, I noticed that, too.

One of the linesmen is Finnish. The referees are from Canada and the US.

 

[JoeyBeans]

Not being able to eat or drink while seated is a poor excuse for attendance. Get this tourney back in the small non-NHL markets.

[Cellee]

Incredible.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

To be fair, if I was in Edmonton and could not drink, I’d be pissed too.

Tribal Salami

 

[hockey20000]

6 shots in 3rd period dear god.

 

[Chainshot]

Random officiating remains random.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Lol that penalty

 

[QnebO]

Refs job is to make Finland look worse it seems. Its ridiculous, just end the game already if you want the numbers look better for Austria. Countless of horrible calls, normally this wouldve costed the whole game for us. Now its not even that annoying, its just ridiculous.

 

[chauron]

Joke penalties, entirely different rules than in finnish elite league

It’s like that rubberband effect in a driving game or mario kart

 

[Zub]

Kemell needs to wake up, his positioning hasn't been too good all game and isn't moving enough.

 

[chauron]

Teräväinen-Aho-Koivunen will be good

 

[PanniniClaus]

Koivunen... Carolina scouts appear to have hit a home run..

 

[ninetyeight]

Koivunen goes full Ovechkin

 

[QnebO]

Finland scores while ref was trying to wave to his friends in the audience. Wasnt a penalty coming for sure
