The nerves of the Lions’ NHL duo are tense because of the referee’s line – Danish star Nikolaj Ehlers knocks out the whole conversation

The nerves of the Lions NHL duo are tense because

Finland has been able to play quite a lot of superiority in the World Cup tournament, but the unblemished ice has tarnished the stars of the Lions. At the end of the article there is a list of who has acquired the superior powers of the Lions.

TAMPERE. A familiar sight from the Lions’ World Cup match: the opponent hooks Mikko from Ranta or hanging Kaapo in Kako. The Finnish star loses the puck and gives feedback to the referee. Where’s the ice!?

This scene has been seen numerous times in Finland’s World Cup matches. At times it has seemed that the NHL duo of the Lions have come from a different planet to the World Cup, and you can’t believe what kind of rules prevail here.

– Quite a lot has been handled, I’ve noticed that, Rantanen commented.

– It’s been hard to take and hang in the corners. I myself have had feelings a few times. In my opinion, I have been fouled and I have lost the puck and there has been no ice. It doesn’t feel good, Kakko sums up.

Both state that now the only thing that will help is to adapt to the line of judges.

– It makes everything easier if you are not allowed to hang. Now let’s try to get things done and go through the cracks, Rantanen states.

– I’ve been trying to shout for a while, what’s the matter. As long as the line is the same for everyone, there’s no problem, says Kakko.

In recent games, the Lions have controlled a lot of the puck and tried to break through the opponent’s jam. Especially on Saturday against Austria it was very difficult. Austria was passive and blocked the center.

In six matches, Finland has been dominant for a total of 31 minutes and 46 seconds. That is far more than the USA, which won all its games (24.23). Another clean game team, Switzerland (31.37), has gained the same amount of superiority as Finland.

Somewhat surprisingly Harri Pesonen has acquired the most superiority opportunities for Finland, i.e. three. He has been able to do the same Sakari “Mug” Manny. NHL players Kasperi from Kapa hasn’t been broken even once to the point of freezing. At the end of the story, there is a list by match of who has gotten ice breaks for the opponents.

On Tuesday, Finland will play against Denmark in the final round of the initial group. There is a slippery skater in the ranks of the Danes Nikolaj Ehlerswhich is difficult for anyone to stop without a cue.

Ehlers doesn’t light up for the referee discussion at all.

Urheilu put the matter to Ehlers like this: Finnish players have been critical of the refereeing of the World Cup tournament. Is the line of referees for the World Cup and the NHL different?

– I do not know. It’s the same thing everywhere with judges, you can always find something to complain about. The same complaint is now seen in the NHL playoffs. Everyone does it, Ehlers acknowledges.

– It doesn’t interest me, the judges do their own work. I don’t think they are intentionally trying to annoy anyone.
