GDT: Qf Finland - USA 17:35 CET 02-22-06

That was a good call. Koivu held Cole along the boards for a little too long.

The American commentator here said both should have gone.

 

[JanJ]

"zero tolerance" is valid for european teams only.
We saw this crap on World Cup and last olympics.
Nice.

 

[Roger's Pancreas*]

I think i know IIHF rules a lil better than you

You can know the rule sbetter than Christ himself but you're not on the ice wearing the stripes

 

[Joretus]

Tell jager that.

If you are referring for that call where Jagr did bend down Ruutu still got 5+20, Chelios got nada.

 

[Czech Your Math]

Ruutu could decapitate the goalie with his stick, and there would be people saying "but he twitched his neck" or "he should have protected his neck better" and of course "it was clean".

 

[Bixby Snyder]

***?! Skiing?

 

[Puck33]

FFS you NA fans make me so pissed this is IIHF not NHL rules they differ pretty much.

Hit to the head IIHF : atleast 2+10, 5+20 if player gets an injury

thats just how the rules are I can't help it

Go cry someplace else.

Ruutu deserved it. Chelios should've been given a ten minute powerplay just for taking him out.

 

[Ar-too]

USA looking better... Dipietro looks shaky though.

 

[bottleCAPS]

is ruutu hurt?

 

[gamera]

whew cole! what a hit!

 

[chiavsfan]

Back to the game please

 

[acr*]

is ruutu hurt?

Unfortunately no.

 

[donniedarko]

Come on USA...we need this one!!!

 

[mr gib]

here in canada - we have nothing!!!

 

[The Kingslayer]

Hmm... so CBC thinks we prefer skiing over the US - Finland game???

Grrrrrr.......................

CBC can shove it you know where

 

[Joretus]

Ruutu deserved it. Chelios should've been given a ten minute powerplay just for taking him out.

So if some1 is deserving it no rules are applied? I mean then game would be a bit wild. Should ppl in NHL be allowed to crush stick on Bertuzzi's head, just because he would deserve it?

 

[bottleCAPS]

Unfortunately no.

Then ppl should shut up.

 

[jaydub*]

is ruutu hurt?

one can only hope

 

[jepjepjoo]

Go cry someplace else.

True my post was full of crying. I stated how the IIHF rules are

 

[donniedarko]

I'd like to see that....

 

[acr*]

Penalty on Koivu to end the period.

I think the intermission will be good for us.

 

[shawn_kemp*]

oh man, what a game! USA on the PP to start the 2nd!

 

[Takeo]

For those of us stuck at work, it would be much appreciated if you guys could stick to updating the game rather than bickering about one call.

 

[Tume]

Whoa.....could the referee even TRY to be neutral....

NHL refs seem to be even worse than FEL referees....and that´s quite hard...
