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

[Fried Tree Sap]

Congrats to Canada. They played hard, stayed mentally strong, and didn't give up when falling behind 3-1. I thought the teams were evenly matched, and it was a shame penalties played such a major factor on both sides.

I feel a little bitter Russia didn't get the chance to tie it up 6-3, but I take nothing away from the Canadian efforts.

 

[End on a Hinote]

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.

Do you copy and paste the same statement over and over?

 

[Slimmy]

It was a good call not to call a penalty for Canada. Props to the refs.



Open the tweet and read the English part.

You're wrong. The camera is clearly not "above the ice surface".

Russian players during their win:

"Half our team is as good or better than Lafreniere"

"You guys are the same as Latvia"

Manchester United and Real Madrid are currently in a race to sign Connor McMichael

That was the reply I was looking for. lol

And the penalty of delay of game is there so players can't clear the puck in their own zone over of glass to delay the game. Which the player did. There just happened to be a camera behind the glass to stop it. Using common sense would mean that a penalty should be called since the player cleared the glass in their own zone to delay the game. Whether or not there's a camera there shouldn't matter. If it's directly above the ice surface like the jumbo Tron it's different, but it wasn't

If the puck hits the glass and falls into the penalty box it’s not a penalty. Don’t try to argue the intent of that idiotic rule. And part of the camera is inside the glass.

A true national hero

Its only fitting TSN ends their coverage with Roots again

 

[Czechboy]

A true national hero

Imagine if it hit a Russian or Czech camera.lol

Whoa!

I thought they blew that call... very interesting

 

[iFan]

I miss TSN for hockey, they do it much better than Rogers

 

[ItWasJustified]

It was partly.

Nope.

You know you’re the best when everyone hates you

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

That advantage (1) should've been 6 on 3 and (2) was wiped out by a very dubious "playing with a broken stick" call.

Nothing dubious about it

Yesterday's game with Sweden Russia did more good than today in my opinion. Today we started to make old mistakes with which started a 1st game with CZ. Everything the same.

It feels like we gifted Canada a gold. After leading 1:0 it's dumb to get 5 on 3. Then when we had 3:1 in the 3d they scored lucky goal, okay, happens. But next goals was from stupid PP and a mistake. Russia can blame only itself for that. In this sense it's a pity to lose with a good team. I would understand if Canada made dozens monents (like in 2012 in 1/2), but they did not. The 3d period went very good for us and it felt like here is the gold and we can score even more but oh well. I do not like when we have a good team. Too big hopes.

Anyways gg and the classic continues: one team not winning 2 times.

 

[Peiskos]

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

Show some class.

Maybe quote me correctly next time
I said the effort was pathetic after 40 minutes not Canada itself. I also made another comment saying I’m happy to have been proven wrong.

 

[Slimmy]

Russia wasn't the better team

Yes, they were. They played better hockey than Canada. Canada does other things better than Russia. Which is why they keep winning games like these even though they are the worse team.

 

[goonybird]

Here's my definitive opinion on this camera thing being a penalty:

remember when the Russian goaltender threw all of his gear off and rolled around on the ice for some reason?

 

[ItWasJustified]

Whoa!

I thought they blew that call... very interesting

THEY DID BLEW THE CALL.

CAMERA

NOT OBJECT ABOVE ICE SURFACE

Can I make it any clearer for you?

 

[Czechboy]

Well, despite 'cameragate'.. amazing comeback by Canada. Well deserved gold. 3 straight goals in third is outstanding heart. They lost to Russia in round robin and went on to steamroll everyone on way to finals after winning their pool!

 

[895]

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.

Cameras aren't structural objects. They mean rafters and other things that are part of the arena.

I'm Canadian and I can admit they goofed this call.

 

[ruaware41]

This country song from tsn is giving me the chills

 

[dukeofjive]

My favorite part of these tournaments is seeing the family members in the stands, makes for very emotional games to watch,

 

[FinPanda]

Fair enough, bad call. Tweets are wrong, sorry.

 

[Slimmy]

It shouldn't have according to the rules.

Again, you're wrong. Read the tweet you posted.
