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

[BlitzSnipe]

That, I would be very interested in knowing. Puck over glass is a dumb penalty but it is never, ever missed, for obvious reasons. I hate that its the one automatic penalty but that's the truth, so to miss that...honestly no idea.

The ref on the ice called it immediately, but it was just waved off without an explanation.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

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.

Nope...Canada absolutely won that game lol

 

[Czechboy]

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.

But not the puck hitting the camera out of bounds? That wasn't a bad call?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Kinda wanna see someone KO you in your mom's basement lol

I'll take lessons from Hayton on how to take the dive and draw the penalty.

 

[Ronnie Residue]

what an embarrassment

The collapse? I agree.

Those calls were arbitrary and this one was an automatic. y boys got **** made up for them in spades.

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.

Apology awaited.

 

[Skala24]

TSN camera

Yes! TSN camera is part of the glass dont you know?

 

[King 88]

Russians shake hands like adults. Respect. Hayton now smiling cause they won. It would be nice to see if Hayton can behave if Russia would won. Well never know

Left the ice no doubt. Hypocrite of the finest calibre. Hoping for very short career for dirty rat like him.

 

[goonybird]

Byram? more like Dire-am

 

[The New Russian Five]

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

And the linesman called it. The ref then overturned it. Watch it again.

 

[koyvoo]

So are we totally going to ignore the Russian captain playing the puck with a broken stick and finally killing his team's chances?

It was super dumb

I he Canadian captain, likely with a fractured bone came up clutch and delivered sweet, sweet glory with the pressure turned up.

The Russian captain had a meltdown, lost his mental edge and had brain fart that cost his team.

 

[Star Ocean]

Congrats @jjcale and @snipes.

 

[Ronnie Residue]

But not the puck hitting the camera out of bounds? That wasn't a bad call?

That was definitely bad, but went both ways

 

[Realgud]

Damn that Czech announcer's french pronunciation is better than the english guys from TSN. Not hating, just surprised.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Nice comeback boys!!!

 

[Sentinel]

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.

That same camera showed the puck was out of the rink already.

 

[snipes]

It was a 3-1 game. I was rooting for Canada. No need to leave a bad taste on my mouth for being a bad winner.

The vast majority of Canadian fans are gracious winners.

Two best teams in the tournament no doubt and it was another classic between hockey’s biggest rivals.

Congrats on the Silver to Russia, we’ll meet again old foe. Respect.

 

[D0ctorCool]

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.

Canada erased a 2 goal deficit and took the lead through will and determination.
They are absolutely winners in my eyes.

 

[The S5]

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..

Agreed.
Great comeback by Canada, but Russia got hosed.

 

[FinnishSniper]

The IIHF rule book says that if the puck hits the camera, it’s not a penalty, so the refs aren’t to blame.

BUT MY GOD IS THAT A STUPID f***ING RULE...

 

[Icarium]

Great game, bad refereeing and so many embarrassing hot takes here. Nothing can bring out really dumb manifestations of patriotism quite like international sports.

 

[PaulD]

Not an answer when they win on the back of poor reffing

LOL

5 to 1 for Russia in power plays 20 minutes in.

Canada still wins 4-3.

 

[Beau Knows]

Good stuff
