GDT: Gold Medal Game • Jan. 5 • 8:00 PM ET • 02:00 CET • III (Mod warning in OP)

[Auston Marlander]

Stop. All of these are good calls

You're right, all but 1 were legit, the problem is these calls are only going one way. There should have been 3 or 4 PP's for Canada in the 1st.

 

[LilySmoov]

The Domi and Virtannen penalties were not penalties btw.

Thank you refs.

Domi jumping at a guy is definitely a penalty.

 

[Spektanto]

As our Russian commentary likes to say,
Ladies and Gentlemen, Sirs and Mesdames, Boys and Girls,
do you like this helluva gold medal match as I do?

 

[Jackson14]

The last 2 penalties were deserved but the one that got the ball rolling for Russia was just a terrible call.

 

[pucky]

Are people really complaining about calls? like do we really need to even say "that was a correct penalty" when Reinhart clearly hooks a guy on a breakaway?

How was it a breakaway? They were even until the Russian outskated Reinhart from around the top of the face-off circles?

I thought it was the correct call...

Nurse sucks. The Cdn defence is getting sloppy and making bad decisions.

 

[SprDaVE]

If Fucale had any rebound control this doesn't get out of control.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

If Canada gives McDavid all the 5 on 5 time Gauthier's been getting Canada wins, simple as that. Can't believe the coaching decisions.

 

[Ferjo]

I don't have a problem with the goals fucale has allowed, per se. I have a problem with the fact that he plays like every shot like its a grenade coming in, and seemingly has no clue what is happening around him. It's just madness in net

 

[Hisch13r]

Stop blaming the refs and blame the meathead players making peewee mistakes

No that can't be true, the refs are out to get them

 

[trilobyte]

Can't keep playing so unintelligently Canada
Surely people here can see that, though I am starting to doubt it

 

[Markov4Captain]

Guys stop ***** about the reffing. Canada deserved those penalties. They played some stupid hockey for the last 5 minutes.

 

[Atomos2]

The whole canadian team is choking hard. They are so fragile right now. This penalty was the worst thing that could happen to them.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

When Craig Button said Fucale was the best goalie prospect he saw in awhile, I shoulda detected the red flags.

I can't say most of the goals were his fault.......but there's something in his body language that, I have to admit after all this time.......unsettles me.

 

[Richter915]

I miss Pierre Mcguire

take that back right now. I'll take anyone over that egghead. Even Ferraro. Even Healy.

 

[Flair Hay]

Virtanen call was sketchy. But the Domi penalty was textbook leaving his feet. Shame on anyone watching this epic game to be complaining about reffing.

 

[777]

Man nurse
Playing the Edmonton way

Nurse has been our best dman

 

[Appleyard]

Can we make Morin-Heatherington a pair since they're not playing abysmal, and leave Bowey-Hicketts for Russia's 4th line? Please?

Or just role with 5 D and double shift Theodore and Nurse.

Bowey and Hicketts are just awful.

 

[aphyro]

Lol Eric Lindros and Mikael Renberg on SVT sounds like to lovers that havent seen echother for years

 

[Pi]

Comrie needs to start the third. Fucale has no rebound control. The guy thinks he is playing ping pong. Staple Bowie and Hicketts to the bench. Tell Nurse to stop ****ing pinching.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

The tournament has been too easy on the Canadian's defence, they never had a real challenge and now that they're playing a good team they're completely exposed

 

[snizzbone*]

This is a penalty.. even in the NHL.. so obviously it would be in the IIHF. Not seen in the gif is Virtanen reading the play from behind the net and building up speed to just run this guy. He could have made a smart play and just used the body a little bit and gotten the puck, but no, he had to run the guy.

 

[DenisSamson3]

Any way Canada's defense allowed 5 goals in the whole previous games. The least ever as a Canadian Junior team. Always something to blame.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

I only hate the refs because Canada had the lead, they aren't calling anything in Canadas favor

 

[Stats01]

McDavid needs to on the ice a lot more!! Also Fucale looks like he has no idea where the puck is at times. Very nervous now

 

[CaptainBenn]

Just give the Russians the gold already. We know who the refs want to have it.

Lol always excuses with you, called it before the game, you will blame the refs, fucale, team canada headquarters, mcdavid sucking
Cant admit that russia just OWNED YOU
