[TheFeistyFinn]

it's a great feeling, even more there are no Czechs crying all the time

yeah they are all crying in facebook right now. just check iihf posts

 

[Jussi]

That's not right before the goal.

Doesn't matter, the play should've been called dead right there as per the standard set it the tournament previously.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

He's trying to look around him. You're really reaching now.

Yeah, he watches around right at the time of the shot, makes sense:snakehead and the Cezch player was moving away from Smiths view after this picture.. so he got even better vision after this was taken..

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Look at the angle of Smiths face, the Czech player doesn't block his view, or in away prevent him from make that save..

Obscuring the view and blocking the view are two very different things.

 

[Striiker]

That's not right before the goal.

Doesn't matter, the second that happens the rule is that play must stop and go to a neutral zone faceoff.

I agree that the goal should be allowed, but it's disallowed because of a stupid rule not a stupid ref.

 

[NyQuil]

Clearly the rules need some tweaking.

So the guy standing right in front, that you can see Mike Smith trying to look around, is not "obscuring" his view?

 

[Canuck21t]

refs made same call against us many times this tournament. skate was barely in the bluezone all those times. good call...

Oh but at the end, it's Canada's fault, it's always Canada's doing.

 

[nyrdettor]

Di you not read the part I posted?

Yes i did but claiming he in any way established position in the crease on that play is just too far fetched.

He is moving sideways on the crease line and is barely inside. That is not establishing position.

 

[NyQuil]

It gets tiresome.

well, we got robbed, you didn't.. that's the main difference here

Doesn't matter, he was still in the crease and the play should've been called dead.

The word is "established". He was moving sideways out of the crease..

How is he obscuring his view when he is on the right side of Smith, and the puck is on the far left side..

 

[NyQuil]

The IIHF giveth and the IIHF taketh away.

 

[BlueSaint]

Yeah, we'll see the newspapers after the game about if there's any crying about it or not. Or maybe you're just used to that ***** quality in your low-standard league.

 

[Jussi]

well, we got robbed, you didn't.. that's the main difference here

No, you didn't.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

you didn't get robbed tho. it was by the rules. good call. it's a stupid rule :/

 

[llwyd]

Did not establish position (yep, minor stationary violations have been whistled), did not block the view. I think it is at least debatable that it could have been accepted. Anyway the rule needs changing if it leads to this kind of clear goal being disallowed. I'm now done with this subject.

 

[SenzZen]

That's not right before the goal.

Didn't know they only called crease violations when a goal was involved.

 

[Oilslick941611]

I don't think you Czech's are going to get much sympathy from Canadians about disallowed goals, bad reffing. Canada has been on the other end of bad calls in international hockey for years. In WJHC in 2002 i think it was THe Russian goalie deliberately knocked the net off the moorings just as Canada was scoring, that would have tied the game. Should have been or goal or penalty shot, nothing was called.

 

[Jussi]

The word is "established". He was moving sideways out of the crease..



How is he obscuring his view when he is on the right side of Smith, and the puck is on the far left side..

All irrelevant since the whistle should've been blown earlier already. So in that sense, justice happened.

 

[Gereth]

The rule is pretty clear. Whether it's a good rule, that's another discussion. Hockey gods stopped being merciful for the Czechs after the quarterfinal.

yeah they are all crying in facebook right now. just check iihf posts

On facebook there is always someone crying about something. If they are crying just on facebook, I'm pretty surprised. Yesterday on that Finnish goal, there was already Putin involved in it on this very board.

 

[nyrdettor]

Doesn't matter, he was still in the crease and the play should've been called dead.

Of course it matters, the rules clearly states that it matters.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Game was tied 2-2, Finland scored a goal but it was negated because of a questionable penalty call and the Czech scored a goal on the powerplay. The penalty basically caused a difference of 2 goals in favor of the Czech.

oh wowzer.

thanks for "the More you Know" moment.
