GDT: Canada vs USA

[Fraser28]

goalie didnt have control of the puck, wasnt pushed into the goal, how is it not a goal?

Uhh what? That is a blatant lie.

 

[Frederixx]

Snuggerud will be really good. He has all the tools

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lazy play

 

[The Puckhound]

these are the calls Canada are always going to get when they host the tourney in Canada every year

 

[NyQuil]

This game will be known as the Halifax screw job

Actually that was the name of a film I made when i was younger and needed work.

 

[GKJ]

I mean I get how intense he is for the USA, its really comical

there's a clear difference when he calls college hockey games.

when it comes to the calls, in seriousness, the IIHF is a lot more black-and-white when they apply the rules. They don't do what the NHL does and figure out the rules as they go and do shit like makeup calls.

First review, he bumped into the goalie, in the crease. The rule is clear. If it were NHL, it probably counts. This one probably counts too. But this isn't an NHL game.

 

[BringTheReign]

At least half of the Canadian fans are Leafs fans who had to live through the disallowed game 7 goal against Tampa, so that's something at least.

The first goal should've counted, and even if the second should have been overturned for this to happen twice is both optically embarrassing and incredibly unlikely.

 

[Rob]

I’ve never seen so many delay of game penalties in a tournament. Must be bad ice.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Game being played… in Canada

Yeah, and the rule too.

 

[canuckking1]

Canada needs to go for the kill shot. That probably took a lot of life out of the US.

 

[Fraser28]

Lol wow you guys are a bunch of babies eh.

 

[N o o d l e s]

US might want to try scoring without goaltender interference. Generally a better strategy.

 

[Riseonfire]

This is why caring about sports is objectively stupid. When the refs are this bad, the competition literally doesn’t matter and results are invalid.

 

[Advanced stats]

This game will be known as the Halifax screw job

Or, the American screw up.

 

[Captain97]

First one is a grey zone wasn't sure on it could have gone either way. Id lean no goal, if Canada had scored it id have been nervous about it counting.

But that one is 100% not a goal. The puck was under the goalies pad, you can't push the goalie of the puck and shove the puck in.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

They know it’s not a goal but who is going to advocate against their own team?

Can’t blame them for trying to get some PPs.

True, but refs will give you a pp, they're not going to start counting goals that shouldn't count because of it.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Refs were paid off apparently.

If you think that last ones a good goal, you should probably find a new sport.

The first one I thought should be a goal because I watch the NHL and it's a goal all day. But IIHF has different rules and apparently that play was considered GI.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Good to see the Americans already got the excuse train on stand by. You can still win this game stop crying.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Canada needs to go for the kill shot. That probably took a lot of life out of the US.

The refs are doing a good job of that

 

[NyQuil]

US still very much in this.

 

[Sheppy]

This thread is absolutely hilarious

 

[MichaelFarrell]

No excuse if we don’t score here

 

[dwdl21]

sham of a team gonna win a sham of a game to win a sham of a tournament

celebrate your bullshit Canada.

 

[metalan2]

Lol game is an utter sham.

 

[Matt24]

Some posters are really outing themselves as not knowing the rules of hockey.

To be fair, the USA coach pretty much underlined the problem with hockey rules in general by putting two fingers up. Because the first one should have counted, he obviously felt the refs owed them a goal that I'm sure he knew should not have counted. Game management/make-up calls are going to happen when you have a sport with such vague and seemingly fluid/arbitrary rules.
