[goonybird]

So now that it should have been a penalty are you ready to admit being wrong?

no? I don't want to and you can't make me

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Bob McKenzie says it should have been penalty

That's not true. He said they're lucky they didn't get a penalty. He spoke to the refs' interpretation of the rule, not his personal view of whether or not it was a penalty.

Russia and Sweden these new generations are losers at WJC level under 20 and under 18 from 2013 to today they have both 0 gold medals and at u 18 Sweden has one gold.. Russia and Sweden definitely not as great expectations for future hockey in 2020's as Canada Usa and Finland they are clearly big 3 in hockey next decade at men's level if best againts best tournaments come to play.

 

[Esko6]

So? The camera is OUTSIDE of surface. Not above it.

I agree it should have been a penalty in both cases.

To be clear, better team won. I just found the sequence fascinating so I am discussing it.

 

[jj cale]

That Akil Thomas goal though...

Damn that was sexy and pure euphoria.

Straight out orgasmic.

 

[Peiskos]

You know, being a poor winner is much worse than being a sore loser.

How am I being a sore winner? I’m just telling a sore loser to stop making up excuses...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Canadians play always little dirty. They are worst losers if they losing the game. Also they are arrogant for other teams.

Thats why most on the European hockey nations dont like them.

Nobody really cares to be quite honest.

 

[CarlWinslow]

Except it does not in one of the 2 possible valid (and the most logical) interpretation of the rule

Agree to disagree.

So let’s just say it was a missed call. Let’s the give Russia a goal for arguments sake. Then take one away for that garbage holding call.

Canada still wins.

 

[SabresSharks]

The opposite of classic, really.

The turned skate, the non-call...

Hardly a well played game, but the level of drama was epic.

 

[YakDavid]

One question I have is does that camera overhang at all on the ice?

 

[webersshot]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

 

[Rusoilers]

Russia and Sweden these new generations are losers at WJC level under 20 and under 18 from 2013 to today they have both 0 gold medals and at u 18 Sweden has one gold.. Russia and Sweden definitely not as great expectations for future hockey in 2020's as Canada Usa and Finland they are clearly big 3 in hockey next decade at men's level if best againts best tournaments come to play.

Russia and Sweden are football nations first.

 

[AvatarAang]

The opposite of classic, really.

The turned skate, the non-call...

The way people are describing McMichael’s goal has me questioning whether it was actually Messi playing for team Canada.

 

[PG Canuck]

One question I have is does that camera overhang at all on the ice?

Didn’t look like it

 

[ItWasJustified]

One question I have is does that camera overhang at all on the ice?

No, of course not.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats to both Teams. Great game.
If a puck hits structure in the stands above the level of the ice surface...that doesn't negate a delay of game penalty...because the context is, most obviously, for pucks that are still in bounds, directly above the surface.
Camera was out of bounds... should have been delay of game...we all know that if our Team should be getting the PP (or in this case a 6 on 3)
I'm glad Canada won...but that was a tough non call...

The take is easy...

We were down 3-1
What a gutsy comeback
Our captain came up huge
Russia had the lead
Our 4th liner scored a legendary goal
Our goalie was outstanding
We got crazy lucky on a missed call by refs
We had a lead at the time
Nowhere does it say Russia was going to score
OT would've been after that
Go Canada Go! Most golds in history.

Instead... people are trying to convince themselves it wasn't a missed call.lol

Change the narrative... well deserved gold!

 

[CarlWinslow]

LOL.. it's extremely relevant.

It’s really not. Rule books are typically designed in a simplistic fashion to avoid ambiguity. They aren’t going to create three separate rules based on what part of the glass an item is attached to.

 

[SabresSharks]

Nobody really cares to be quite honest.

Well, maybe enough to reply.

 

[Icebreakers]

One question I have is does that camera overhang at all on the ice?

Nope. It's behind and above the glass. Aka out of play and not interfering with the game.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I decided to walk my dog when the Russians went up 3-1. When I got home the Canadians were receiving their gold medals. I feel that, somehow, I was responsible for this.

I believe it's your never say quit mentality that inspired them!

 

[iCanada]

Cant we all just agree that gloating after a win and bitterness after a loss is a universal thing?

Nah, surely Russians would never gloat about victory.

 

[FinPanda]

So? The camera is OUTSIDE of surface. Not above it.

Camera is not above the ice surface. Bad call.

Spelling error on my part.

It was partly.

 

[AvatarAang]

It’s attached to the glass.

Thanks i thought the camera was just floating in mid air, this changes everything.

 

[Divine]

So now that it should have been a penalty are you ready to admit being wrong?

Wrong for what?

 

[Czechboy]

It’s really not. Rule books are typically designed in a simplistic fashion to avoid ambiguity. They aren’t going to create three separate rules based on what part of the glass an item is attached to.

They don't have to... it wasn't above the playing surface. It was out of bounds.

 

[NyQuil]

Wah! Wah! Wah! Stop whining and crying. Russia choked and Canada won fair and square.

Weren’t you the one saying that Canada was pathetic?

Show some class.
