Russian refs have been drinking too much vodka the last few days, horrendous job they are doing.
Pihlström has been playing really well, some good work by him. Your description of him reminded me of good old Tiki a little bit.

Great win for Finland in the end, with a little bit of luck with that side-net goal.
Dustin Brown is a little coward ****, I hope some guy teaches him a hard lesson for that pathetic stunt he played there.
Nice fight there in the end, the finn was clearly the weaker guy but refused to back down, great work.
the game was a mess, the refs was totally lost, third period was good from our team, the us guys looked a bit tired, hopefully our guys keep out from the penalty box, and keep up the skating in coming games. Tomorrow its Canada I bet it will be a good one.
Yes nice comeback on third period with a little bit of luck but sweet victory anyway. Luckily Jussi Jokinen was not hurt after Dustin Brown's brainfart at the end, I was surprised about Teemu's reaction :up: did not expect him to be first one to give it back to Brown. Also Salmela got his name to scouts notebooks after his fight against Backes :D
Refs...I'm speechless that's all I have to say about them....
Yep... it's been a while I've seen such a ref work :down:
USA had the game and they would have had it to the end but IMO their lack of tournament experience turned it to us after that "lucky" goal through the net. They let Finland back to the game. Shame Dustin Brown since he has been playing a great tournament.
What comes to Selänne, I think this was the first game ever I saw him 8 minutes worth of penalty box :eek: He probably counted on his reputation but Brown didn't give a ****.
Robert Eche was the man of the match by far.
Abysmal referee work in the US game, no wonder the goal referee was sent off the games.
Nice: were in the quarters!
:mark:
It ain't over till it's over. According to Iltalehti :http://www.iltalehti.fi/kisaextra/20...39690_ki.shtml Team USA are demanding longer a longer game misconduct to Olli Jokinen. Team Finland will answer to that by demanding the same to Dustin Brown if needed.
Shame. These games shouldn't be played at cabinets. :down:
Jokinen for Brown would be a good trade off. ;)
But shame indeed if they are going down this road.
Yanks can demand whatever they want, but Jokinens penalty was not even worth 5+20, only the russian refs mindlessness got him that penalty.Quote:
