GDT: Gold Medal Game: Canada Vs Russia | 1:00PM EST 7PM CET

I agree that it should have been delay of game when the puck hit the camera but the broken stick call was correct in my opinion. The Canadian player had possession of the puck and the Russian player knocked it away with a piece of his broken stick.

It might not mean much but congratulations on getting the silver. Russia played really well and was very impressive.

That stick doesn't break and it's a good shot on net with a 6-4... just awful luck for Denisenko. Zero controvery on the call.. he was skating with the broken stick in his hand.lol

Russians put their helmets back on

I think everyone agrees it was over the boards, but who can find the rulebook about this? I feel like there must be something about it.

I saw this post from another poster, take a look:

What I could find:

RULE 135 – DELAY OF GAME/SHOOTING OR THROWING THE PUCK OUT OF PLAY
i. A player who shoots, throws, kicks, or bats the puck directly out of
the playing area from inside his defending zone anywhere in the rink (except where there is no protective glass) during game action, without any deflection, will be assessed a minor penalty. The determining factor will be the position of the puck when it is played.
ii. No penalty will be assessed if a player shoots the puck directly over the boards at the players’ benches but not over the protective glass behind the players’ benches.
iii. No penalty will be assessed if a player shoots the puck directly over the boards at any areas of the rink without protective glass directly above the boards.
iv. A player who deliberately shoots the puck out of play anywhere on the ice during play or after a stoppage will be assessed a minor penalty.
v. A player who lifts the puck from the defending zone and hits the scoreclock or any structural object above the ice surface, causing a stoppage of play, will not be assessed a penalty.


Would seem like a sketchy definition of "above the ice surface" you'd think.

That same camera shows a replay where the puck is over the boards before it even hits the said camera.

Don't let facts fool Canadian fans.

 

[Jussi]

These refs should never be allowed to ref another IIHF game because of that blown delay of game call.

In case you didn't know, linesmen call those, because they have the best viewpoint.

 

[super6646]

That sucks!

Oh well, we'll take the Gold Medals home as a consolation prize.

Damn it, I wanted to win the fancy stats battle!

 

[Little Psycho]

It's good to know that the reffing isn't just a league problem but an international problem.

I'm dying to know the reason behind the no delay of game. A blatant call like that..

 

[Matt24]

There were no winners here to me. Canada got a fluky break and the Russians acted like 4 year olds about it so it’s hard to feel all that bad. Worst case scenario.

 

[blindpass]

Weren't you *****ing about early reffing? I hope you are pleased with the late

The only call I thought was really bad was the Hayton holding the stick when he was hooked. If you look at my history I told the ones calling bias against Canada to shut up.

 

[WillTheThrill]

wow Canadians are ruthless and bad people, cmon show respect towards Russians

Lol

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

Canada surviving because of a refs mistake? Who would've thought

Seething

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Russia got screwed on that delay of game

Agreed. But if they stayed composed they would have still had a 6 on 4 to finish off the game.

 

[Jagemon]

Yeah, I don't believe you. You spent the whole game arguing against everything that went in Canada's favour.

Oh really? Care to elaborate how you came into that conclusion as I was objective observer in this match. It may seem biased because of your own binoculars but it was still unbiased.

Lias Andersson threw his silver onto one once I'm pretty sure

 

[CarlWinslow]

Umm the delay of game penalty was the most obvious one, by far.

Not if the camera is considered in play according to the rule book. I expect that’s the likely explanation, which would make it the correct call.

 

[Jokerit 16]

Canada should have a penalty to hit puck of the ice. Wrong decicion about referees. Russia should have played 5-3 and probaply 6-3.

Shame that tournament gets this kind of ending.

lineman show immediatly two minutes penalty.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Don't let facts fool Canadian fans.

No Canadian fan thinks that was a good non-call until more explanation are given.

 

[chauron]

What is not a huge surprise. That they are crying on the bench?

Why are you such a sore winner

 

[jj cale]

Another Gold jj.

Another classic Canada v Russia game.

The emotions I went through during that game was incredible, our boys never quit and got it done when it mattered most.

What a game. heart and soul baby..................no 6-0 today, we came to play and when we do that we are murder.

 

[Star Ocean]

I guess everyone is happy now. Canada happy and TSN is happy.

Case closed. Back to NHL.

 

[the paisanos guy]

Russians going to find and put their helmets back on that they tossed off just in time for the anthem. Love it

 

[Sentinel]

No, Team Canada won it, Russia let a 2 goal lead slip away.

You need to be gracious in both victory and defeat.

So proud of our team, we showed we were the champs.

Sorry dude, not this time. You got the game gift-wrapped on an automatic penalty.

Ok, seems like it should have been a penalty
