GDT: 9/17 - Czech Republic vs. Canada - 8:00 ET

[BackToTheBasics]

There was less contact in the majority of the goals that were overturned last season.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Wasn't there a rule not allowing a forward to be in the crease at the time of a goal?

Yeah, in the 90's...

 

[ViD]

Czechs are looking better than Russia in first period against Canada.

They are very unfortunate to be behind in this one.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Wasn't there a rule not allowing a forward to be in the crease at the time of a goal?

IIHF rule, not NHL.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Might as well just give Canada trophy now and get this sham over with.

 

[Edgelord]

I'm Canadian and I don't think that should have counted

 

[Pi]

That is a good goal, Neuvirth didn't even know where the puck was before it was in the net, how was he interfered? It shows the stick between his legs was loose...if he knew where the puck was, he would have gotten in position to save it.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Stop whining about the refs, if there was some conspiracy it wouldn't be happening in the first game in the first ten minutes when the score is 0-0.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, home refs... gave Czech's a short 5 on 3 at the beginning of the game. Someone tell them they weren't doing the job properly. That simply wasn't goalie interference.

...but it was.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Might as well just give Canada trophy now and get this sham over with.

Man, summer was fun while it lasted...

 

[Sky04]

That stick didn't impede anything

 

[Booster*]

Obvious goal. He pushed his stick in between the goalies legs interfering any chance for the goalie to slide across the crease, on the other hand however this situation was advantage canada.

Those two factors combined and measured, this noble, just tournament shows it´s value.

 

[Hazu*]

Hopefully Giroux takes notes while watching Crosby from the bench!

 

[Sorey*]

Yeah, home refs... gave Czech's a short 5 on 3 at the beginning of the game. Someone tell them they weren't doing the job properly. That simply wasn't goalie interference.

Should been a penalty shot.

 

[Zybalto]

That is a good goal, Neuvirth didn't even know where the puck was before it was in the net, how was he interfered? It shows the stick between his legs was loose...if he knew where the puck was, he would have gotten in position to save it.

Exactly. If he had moved and was impeded by the stick, there is an argument to be made. I'm not sure why this is so hard for some around here.

I think Russia only starts playing properly when the **** hits the fan .

 

[jj cale]

Canada looking good, skating well and moving the puck as advertised.

Can't see the czechs skating with us, the disparity of skill is already telling.

 

[kary]

******** goal aside, this is an awesome game so far, looks twice as fast as USA vs EUR

 

[Novak Djokovic]

If you think this tournament is rigged for Canada, stop watching. That's the best way to send your message. In the meantime, I'll enjoy my country play the sport I love.

 

[General Zodd]

Quick whistle !

 

[Captain Bowie]

Damn refs favoring Canada on that quick whistle...

 

[Canada4Gold]

damn refs helping Canada win lose

 

[RedFlamingo]

Damn early whistle! That just about makes up for the non over turned goal.

 

[Iceman]

I think Russia only starts playing properly when the **** hits the fan .

Actually, Russia start playing worse. They get frustrated and start playing solo globetrotting.

 

[JaegerDice]

As a Hawks fan, really like what I'm seeing from Kempny
