man, thought Harper had him dead to rights there.

 

[Tecumseh]

Some people believe in what they want to be true.

I agree. You have to be pretty out of touch to make all these lame excuses for Syomin.

 

[jj cale]

U.S got away with one, high stick there.

 

[Summer Rose]

We got away with a high stick there.

 

[c9gunner]

Now that's really obvious!!

it was a hit to the head. period. really nothing to argue about.

 

[Sojourn]

What play did you even watch? Syomin cuts across the front of him and extends his shoulder up into his head. He could have hit him much differently, or not at all. He can do a lot about it, and there is no chance the player receiving the hit in the head is at fault.

That's an ugly hit. I have no idea if Jones sold it a bit, but it really doesn't matter.

On a personal level, I would have liked him to go through concussion protocol. Even if he felt fine, or told them he sold it, that was solid contact to his head. Better to be safe, especially when you're a little over 2 minutes from the intermission. Just my feeling.

Blatant attempt by Jones to injure Syomin's shoulder.

 

[Chainshot]

Yeah, that should've been a penalty.

 

[Ralonzo]

I don't know the point of arguing, it's never not going to be a penalty. Just a matter of 5 or 2+10 and if deemed intentional rather than incidental it's probably going to be the former.

And yes, getting typically chippy.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Considering this is IIHF rules and not NHL rules, there is really no debate about that hit on Jones. It was a major and maybe a suspension for Russia's next game. Easy call for the on-ice officials.

 

[nucks88]

The refs better start making some of these obvious calls soon or something bad is going to happen.

 

[Sojourn]

Awkward.

 

[jj cale]

Brady looks appreciably better then his brother Matt at this age to me.

He's a real good player, smart and skilled.

 

[Woodhouse]

How about we look where we're passing rather than to a space, mkay?

 

[Woodhouse]

Fox looked to have Mittelstadt cross-crease if he didn't try to stuff it himself.

 

[Atas2000]

Jones doesn't even have the puck, he isn't eligible to be hit.

Syomin doesn't even have the puck. He isn't eligible to be hit by Jones.

 

[SabresSharks]

USA might come to regret not exploiting all this PP time.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Syomin doesn't even have the puck. He isn't eligible to be hit by Jones.

Most people dont lead with their head to hit in hockey, maybe you're speaking from experience and that explains your posts?

 

[Ralonzo]

High stick your teammate for the power play!

Would that qualify as an "even-up" call?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Dave Starman is blind.
Can confirm.

It was Tufte's stick. Starman just needs glasses.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Ryan Poehling must have naked pictures of Motzko. Sooo much ice time with very little result

 

[SabresSharks]

It was Tufte's stick. Starman just needs glasses.

TSN crew is far superior. We can all agree on that, right?

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

Russia's powerplay is an embarrassment

 

[Ralonzo]

It was Tufte's stick. Starman just needs glasses.

I'm gonna DVR when opportune.

It was actually Tufte's stick with black tape, not Minulin with white tape. Frederic is right out.

So that makes Starman and me wrong and the ref even more wrong, although it resulted in the right call at the end of the day.

This game is a lumberjack convention.
