GDT: Group B • Dec. 26 • Denmark vs. Russia

[Huokaus]

Damn, things got tight. Would have liked Denmark to pull the upset win. Still possible though

 

[YoungSinatra]

Russia avoiding the choke?

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Rough. Very rough.

 

[DaveG]

and there it is.

 

[Algernop Kreider]

Man in the crease? Or is the IIHF rule different?

 

[NikoEhlers]

Damn, the boys deserve to get something out of this

 

[JC Numminen]

Any chance thats a kick?

EDIT: Nope.

 

[Ace0813]

He went for the pad stack for some reason....

 

[c9gunner]

Now we got a game

 

[Falling Snow]

don't give up denmark !!

 

[Cor]

Wait, wasn't the Russian player in the crease before the puck? Shouldn't it have been blown dead?

Or am I misunderstanding the rule?

 

[admire]

Unlucky but no kicking motion...

 

[Systemfel]

No contact with the goalie, though.

 

[Czech Yourself Pal]

Russia starting to dominate the play.

Yeah, I must be lost too. According to that call there isn't any rule with the crease. Can anyone confirm?

 

[KevinBXA]

damn, buddy just got domed. Keep your head up bud

 

[Novak Djokovic]

That rule is used randomly.

 

[NoShowWilly]

confusing rule but happy that is a goal.

 

[KevinBXA]

I'm also confused by crease rule

 

[Cor]

That rule is used randomly.

That sucks. Now watch Denmark score a goal like that and it get called back

 

[Analyzer*]

Russia's depth of skill coming to show.

 

[Trouba95*]

Let's go Ehlers and Bjork!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

PP Denmark. Make this even more exciting, Denmark!

 

[Cellee]

Denmark to the PP after complete deflation.

I was under the impression a player couldn't enter the crease before the puck. That should have been no goal on those grounds. Anyone care to explain that rule to me.

I've witnessed Canada having plays whistled down on them in years past for a skate hardly being in the crease.

That rule is supposed to be black and white. Horrible break for Denmark.
