GDT: May 10 • USA 3, Switzerland 2

[YARR123]

anyone with a picture of the first no-goal?

 

[Bigleaf]

don't think that gif is working

It's not a gif, it's a still showing that the player was NOT offside on the goal.

 

[Domenica]

Don't worry Swiss people, moral victory is yours

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[wickedwitch]

The commentators said that on the first play, the linesman did blow the whistle, but the players didn't hear it. So that would allow the goal to be disallowed without overturning any call.

Regardless, I don't want the US to win like this.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Thomas looks old for most of the period, then he Thomases.

 

[Minttu]

I feel sorry for Suisse. They should have won.

 

[Reznor]

Err great save by Thomas

 

[Ducksgo*]

What a stop!!!!!!! By Thomas!!!!

That's old school Thomas right there!

Awesome win boys

 

[mosare]

Swiss has by far more skills than the us boys

 

[wickedwitch]

That reffing was unconventional enough to be downright suspicious.

I'm not much of a conspiracy guy but that...ew. That was way, way weird. If it's offsides, ****ing call it, don't wait to se if a goal is scored or not. You think they call it offsides if that's NOT a goal? I think not.

I can't imagine the US bothering to fix the round robin games. Chalk this up to incompetence.

 

[QnebO]

Congratulations Switzerland for 4-3 victory. Unbelievable reffing. If you dont whistle offside then you cant check it and disallow goal afterwards. And whats even more horrible is that those goals were not even offside goals. These guys should never be allowed to whistle again and their names should be public.

 

[Richi]

we have 0 points !!

Besides the rigged reffing:
Again, this reminds me of the eurovision song contest

 

[Episkey]

Nice stop by Thomas, Swedes got robbed though

 

[johnnystormcgy]

I really like those Swiss jerseys.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Thomas didn't look old on that last save.

I am never shocked how bad IIHF refs can be.

If the Swiss keep playing like today they will medal.

 

[QnebO]

Roman Koffman and Jyri Rönn are the main referees. Jyri Rönn is an idiot, so thats no surprise. He shouldn't ever whistle in Liiga, Mestis or even Suomi-sarja again. Never.

 

[The Noot]

So we won 4-3? Cool.

Seriously though, if there is something like a moral victory, this has to be one. Definitely a different team than last game.

 

[torero]

debatable. Shots 37-27 USA

faire goals were 4-3. US benefited of ***** ref.

 

[SimplySensational]

Great game, well earned win by the US.

TSN showed very clearly both plays were offsides, those are the rules. Get over it.

 

[Reznor]

I can't imagine the US bothering to fix the round robin games. Chalk this up to incompetence.

It's usually more about betting when a game is rigged, but blatant incompetence could be an option too.

 

[Domenica]

Whistling is againt the ref decision, not against the US.

*off to watch Eurovision*

 

[torero]

Nice stop by Thomas, Swedes got robbed though

Swiss maybe ?

but thank you anyway.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Sorry Swiss fans, you really should have won the game


Seriously though, can the IIHF hire better refs? Talk about a 2nd tier tourney...

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Great game, well earned win by the US.

TSN showed very clearly both plays were offsides, those are the rules. Get over it.

That 2nd no-goal was clearly not offsides... You can see that, right?

 

[The Noot]

Jeez, I know that this loss hurts. But please remain silent during the hymns.
