GDT: 2014 Gold Medal Game • Sweden vs. Finland

[Budddy]

Switzerland and Canada.

Ok thanks...I thought I heard one was from British Columbia, but wasn't sure...

 

[Kulleroinen*]

4vs4 is not good for us. :/

 

[Caz]

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the reffing,
I hope our guys in the rink realize that it's in their
own hands to take this home. It's just to leave
all past stuff behind and score a goal. That's it.

I think there should be a rematch no matter who wins. Refs ruined the game.

 

[VikingYote]

There really should be a rule against the refs giving more than three penalties in a row for the same team.

Sounds about right, Teräväinen wouldn't be a bad choice for MVP either.

Swedish coach signaling two fingers for "2minutes" from the bech.

 

[Sher-Wood]

This. The complaining is among the saddest I've seen.

Most of these calls were perfectly correct, and the ref has even missed a few possible others.

A defensively playing team always takes more penalties.

Second that. How the refs could miss the elbow on the chin of Collberg is a mystery.

 

[LukeD]

1 point for each team!

 

[Zaddy]

This is too nerve-wrecking to watch.

 

[agent082]

So first refs gives soft calls and when Sweden ties they don't even whistle Pokka's crosschecking swedish player's face.

 

[Bexx]

Sweden has been the better team, no question about it. But I hope Finland wins just in spite for the horrible refs.

 

[Mehar]

Rooting for Finland to pull it off despite the refs. If this game was in Helsinki- Sweden would not have made so many Power Plays, and people disagreeing with that, are out to lunch. Finland definitely got the shaft from the refs. Hopefully the Hockey Gods reward them with a Gold despite the crappy calls they got.

 

[MaNNe]

Congrats Sweden! Finland never in a million years could win a game in shootout or OT especially against Sweden. Well making it to the finals was beyond amazing so can't be too sad about it, although losing to Sweden is the worst.

 

[Phil McKraken]

If you idea of winning a hockey game is to stay home clogging up your d-zone for 50 minutes you're going to spend a lot of PK.

Nah, no worries. This is our night.

 

[member 151739]

Oh boy, overtime.

 

[Tompa8989*]

Ok, so because the Finns chose to play extremely conservatively they deserve their penalty calls?

Yeah of course! It's the Barcelona FC logic. The more passes and possession you have the more you're worth winning. And if you would lose it was unfair cause you were better than the other team

 

[quentez]

Are they playing 5v5 continuous or 4v4?

 

[RedLeader]

I think there should be a rematch no matter who wins. Refs ruined the game.

Imagine you saying that if Finland wins

Swedish coach signaling two fingers for "2minutes" from the bech.

He meant the time... not that there should be another penalty.

 

[Ben Matlock]

At least we get the loser point. Phew!
