[SCP Guy]

Ahhhhhhhh WJH gold back where it belongs

 

[CarlWinslow]

It's attached behind the glass...

It’s attached to the glass.

 

[TruKnyte]

Crazy game. For all the talk about the camera, the Russians took some really dumb penalties in the third as well that allowed Canada back into the game.

 

[Czechboy]

You know... all the talk is about Heyton's arc and brilliant shot with a hurt shoulder to tie it!

I think, and you'll never convince me otherwise, the shot of the game was clearly Dudas nailing the camera. That is pinpoint accuracy! 1 inch up and it's a penalty.lol

Duthie just said TSN purposely placed the camera out of place.lol

 

[Cousin Eddie]

What a hockey game.

That should have been a penalty with that whole camera thing. Canada also got hosed on that Hayton penalty earlier which lead to a goal so it was evened up.

 

[llwyd]

are they being given a chance to be?

I think you would be classy regardless - I mean that would be classy...

 

[Erikfromfin]

Bob McKenzie says it should have been penalty

 

[jj cale]

Oh yeah, congrats Canada.

Good tournament, you can neither win them all or lose them all, today was our day to win them.

 

[dwdl21]

Everyone can complain about the Refs all they want, but the Refs didn't give up 3 goals in the third and there's no guarantee the Russians would have scored on the 6on3, this is on the Russians all the way, good win by Canada, the end, see you next year, peace out.

 

[kp61c]

Again. It was attached to the glass. For the purposes of the rules, the camera could very well considered part of the glass.

nope, it couldn't and it was not above the ice surface.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Any physical object? What other kind of objects are there? Dark matter?

Rules tend to have weird wording tbh. But judging by that call, that's what I assume. Although I could see it being worded as "structural" in the event an object held by a fan and reaching the area above ice surface is hit by a puck, in which case the rule would not apply due to it not being part of the arena setup or something like that.

 

[Czechboy]

It’s attached to the glass.

Is it
A: attached in front of the glass
B: attached on top of the glass
C: attached behind the glass

 

[CarlWinslow]

The netting is attached to the glass too and it's a structural object. So your saying if a dman clears the zone and hits the netting it's not a penalty?

Not at all. The rule likely addresses a singular small camera and a massive net differently. Use some common sense.

 

[Finner]

Did you see us taunting once you lost?

No? Why should i see? Theres no need to mock any team? Player who act like a child should be treated like a child. Maybe im oldfashioned but i cant stand behaviour like that.

 

[Sentinel]

Incredible game- a classic

The opposite of classic, really.

The turned skate, the non-call...

 

[HuGo Sham]

Russia was the better team. Russians should be proud. You played some awesome hockey in this tournament.

Russia wasn't the better team

 

[Cellee]

Every time Canada has won on International sized ice our goalie has been named "Best Goalie".

Atta boy, Hofer!

 

[Sentinel]

Russia has only themselves to blame after blowing a 2 goal lead with 10 mins left although they should have gotten a 6 on 3 at the end. They still had to score though

That's pretty much it.

 

[llwyd]

Lol. The hubris of Finnish fans here over a few gold medal wins in recent years needed to be brought back to reality. Get over yourself.

Well, you can check my reactions back then - I don't tend to taunt anyone whether in victory or defeat.

 

[McDrai]

Oh, and congratulations to Canada about the gold. This is kind of weird, I usually have a strong feeling about he result being "justified" or not (obviously no such thing really in sports) but now I'm kind of baffled, it's not that Russians would have earned it either. I would have preferred most of the game being 5 on 5 and without that bizarre ending, it would have been a sure classic. Oh well, IIHF...

Agreed, I wish the game was more 5 on 5. I feel like the officiating spoiled the game a bit as there were bad calls on both sides. I found it extremely difficult to watch this game as a hockey fan.

 

[FinPanda]

Bob McKenzie says it should have been penalty

It shouldn't have according to the rules.

 

[Czechboy]

They are literally talking about it right now.[/QUOTE

Yes .. 5 minutes later. McKenzie said it was a lucky call. Duthie said TSN placed the camera out of the way.

 

[Gormo]

Good game Russia!

Your team played extraordinarily well in both games

 

[CarlWinslow]

nope, it couldn't and it was not above the ice surface.

Oh you work for the IIHF? You wrote their rules?

 

[SabresSharks]

Regardless of the rule and call, you can be certain the delay of game penalty well be revised for clarity by the IIHF.
