Clearly you dont know the rules. If he plays the puck with his hands inside the crease to prevent a goal its a penaltyshot. Normal NA tournament. Biased videoreffing...

Where’s your source

 

[Leafsdude7]

Then it should have been a penaltyshot.

Why?

 

[jonlin]

What Foote did was legal and it was the right call all around.

No need to slam the refs for actually getting it right.

No way that was legal. With the stick or skate it should have been. Inside the crease a defender cant save a goal with his hands or its a penaltyshot.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Yeah you can't see it from overhead angle but it was fully in on it's side and that's all that should count. 2 botched calls by videoref in one game is quite rare. But maybe the same blind person made both calls

Wrong. The puck was not fully over the line.

 

[Brun0]

the puck was clearly over the line they shower from an angle

 

[chauron]

What a stupid penalty

 

[Canada Drai]

Finland will get one last Power Play... book it.

Correct.

 

[Cuthalu]

How come Finland's 1st line is so bad?

 

[jj cale]

Dear God, another p.p.

 

[Tripod]

Another dumb penalty

 

[PG Canuck]

Finland with another PP. AT what point do you stop talking about the first Canada goal and start talking about Finland's terrible goaltending and pwoerplay?

Guess we can just deflect from those other points?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

HF never ceases to amaze me on how little they know about hockey. Holy. No goal and not a penalty.

To be honest, the game is riddled with debatable rules and some rules don't follow common sense like the 'it's not a goal is knocked off the moorings before the puck crosses the line'. It's easy to misinterpret or just blatantly not know about a rule.

Finland PP, desperation time

 

[y2kcanucks]

Then it should have been a penaltyshot.

Nope. Defensemen are allowed to bat the puck out in the crease. They aren't allowed to close their hand on the puck. Fabbro did not close his hand on the puck.

 

[FinPanda]

Finland has scored 2 goals. Great save by Foote.

 

[BC Ben]

Dive?

 

[Alerion]

No way that was legal. With the stick or skate it should have been. Inside the crease a defender cant save a goal with his hands or its a penaltyshot.

That's not the rule, you can play the puck with your hand, you just cannot close your hand over the puck, which Foote did not.

 

[Dominance]

Can’t complain about that call. Dumb play, but it makes the ending more interesting...

 

[The Macho King]

Formenton needs to get in better position there.

 

[Weast]

Finland will get one last Power Play... book it.

Good call haha

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

I thought those were the main points the intelligent posters were talking about the whole game? Of course in addition to our spotty D.

You're making this up.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

At least I'm mostly blaming bad luck for score being 4-2 not 3-3. Doesn't mean that better playing wouldn't have helped, but in my opinion Finland has had very bad luck in two cases here.

 

[Petrus]

I've been laughing through this entire thread. Very funny!

What's funny is that we don't have flowers right now... we have a tonne of maple syrup to ship over.
