Maybe you should move your computer indoors?

Hahaha. Okay, i’ll try that

 

[SladeWilson23]

Its done in every outdoor game. It is to make it fair for the teams. Skating 1 way all the time could be an advantage for 1 team and a disadvantage for another.

It isn't done EVERY outdoor game. It's only done it conditions are unfavorable.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Forgive him, he is an overly patriotic American. So much so he probably has stars and stripes underwear.

I don't forgive hypocrites that easily.

 

[Sojourn]

I'm arguing that what Comtois did, is done a dozen times a game. The difference here was how the contract was received. Just look at how Makar went in to get the puck just before the commercial break.

I mean, I've seen it happen in the NHL, and I've seen it result in penalties. If Comtois were closer to the boards when he made the play, I'd probably agree with you, but from there he's just asking for trouble.

 

[Snippit]

That’s just wasted opportunities though, you can have all the odd man rushes in the world but if you aren’t getting shots on net what does it matter? You can’t score if you don’t shoot.

I'm aware. I'm just saying that I disagree that USA has outplayed Canada at ES

So every outdoor game lol.

Star in front and stripe in the back?

Red, white, blue, and brown

 

[86Habs]

And he let up, its not like he was going full speed and put him into the boards with his shoulder.



Not always, if you have support, yes. If you are trying to win the puck battle as the lone forechecker, you aren't going to wrap up the defensemen, you are going to take him into the boards. It's not like Comtois tired to put him through the boards.

He pushed him face first into the boards. Unlike was you described, It was a stupid play and fortunately Lindgren wasn't injured.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I mean, I've seen it happen in the NHL, and I've seen it result in penalties. If Comtois were closer to the boards when he made the play, I'd probably agree with you, but from there he's just asking for trouble.

Wait, there are people actually arguing that wasn't a penalty?

 

[Crosstraffic]

The hockey has been good? Not really.

 

[Sojourn]

I really, really don't want this to end in a shootout.

 

[Korpse]

Like I said multiple times early, I don't have an issue with a penalty on the play, I just think its being made out to be worse than what actually happened.

 

[IDuck]

these injurys are starting to pile up for US, hope they can get some of them back going forward

 

[Back in Black]

Nail bitter now!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

The way the commentators pronounce the name 'Mittelstadt' is sort of amusing - not 'middle stat' but 'Mittelshtat' is correct.

 

[SladeWilson23]

So every outdoor game lol.

But it hasn't been done every outdoor game.

 

[SI90]

nope

I think USA kept a roster spot open.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I really, really don't want this to end in a shootout.

Normally I'd agree but it's been such a sloppy game it doesn't really matter how it ends

 

[Sojourn]

Wait, there are people actually arguing that wasn't a penalty?

Apparently, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

I can kind of see it being a 2 instead of a 5, if we're going with the idea that he caught an edge, maybe due to ice conditions. No penalty at all just baffles me.

 

[Barrie22]

Is it just me or does the camera make it look like this rink is way to small.

 

[sandysan]

Did. They turn on the lights? It looks brighter.

 

[Sojourn]

Normally I'd agree but it's been such a sloppy game it doesn't really matter how it ends

Probably right. I just think the shootout would take the sloppiness to the next level. Your options would be pretty limited in these conditions.

 

[BattleBorn]

Every entry looks offside to me without the line.

 

[New User Name]

Is it just me or do Canadian forwards look like they aren't even trying this period?

They seem disinterested.
