GDT: May 16 • Semifinal • Canada vs. Czech Republic

[Daisy Jane]

Whooo Canada

 

[SenzZen]

Lol? No, he was maybe in for like a second before the shot, and didn't block Smiths view or his ability to make a save. Should have been a goal. But I'm pretty done with this, we don't agree.

You see Smith leaning to his left to look around the Czech. Puck goes in to the right of Smith.

Hate the rule all you want. The Czech could have done the same and stayed out of the crease- but he didn't.

Hate him, too.

 

[FlareKnight]

And offside.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Nothing created by Czech offense.

...and that dive by Voracek earlier.

 

[Like Wall]

The Czech organist plays hey hey hey goodbye?

In this part of Europe it means something else. It's a casual hockey tune in Latvia, that has no evil meaning.

 

[MaxChart]

Walk in the park.

 

[DearOldUncleTony]

This thread is unbearable. Holy ****.

Look where I live.

Anyways, Canada is too strong for not winning gold this year. Congrats!

I for one I am glad there will be another top team in the Gold Medal game. Canada was the best in thier pool no questions, dominated everyteam except france, but clearly that was an outlier. Be nice to see a game from a good team that we haven't played yet.

Yes, Canada deserves to win a gold, no doubt about that. I don't really care where you live, you're probably Finn so your home league is SM-liiga.

I caught that. that was v. interesting.

Heh, fair enough.

 

[KurtSloan]

better team won. But I would love to see the 3rd period from the score 2:1

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Doesn't matter how long he was there, there's zero tolerance for it. There were several instances where Barkov had one skate in the crease and the whistle blew.

If thats the case they should have blown the whistle before the goal, not after it was scored. So I doubt it was that..

 

[nyrdettor]

The rules also state the play should've been whistled dead before it.

Well first off, thats never called unless there is disturbance of goaltender. Would have been a lot of whistles if one skate inside the crease always equals whistle.

Secondly its wasnt blown dead before the goal was scored.

 

[jr22]

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.

:-D look at you.. you are still the most crying baby here by far

 

[Coog]

Impressive win by Canada. Gonna be a great final who ever they get in the final. Hoping for an all north american showdown.

 

[Gsus]

Yes I agree with this one but not the others, we came through this many times previously so we can clearly say that your goal wasn't counting well. Kontiola cross-checked Jordan to the face right before the "goal".

Kontiola's situation is an every game situation, usually not blowed . But that was a penalty yeah.

 

[RattsSSV]

Good game. Great hosts.

 

[SenzZen]

The whole concept is misguided.

You know the rules, you know the governing body- not sure why anyone can say it should be a goal.

Saying they should change the rule- sure. But the two are getting muddied in here.

 

[FlareKnight]

Woo got the win !

 

[Jussi]

Mike Smith shutout!

 

[Insta]

Woohoo off to the gold medal game!

 

[John Agar]

Great game by both teams.

Lets go for gold Canada !!!!

 

[NyQuil]

Too bad that call marred a good game.

Good tournament Czechs, you guys were great hosts.

Rooting for you for the bronze.

Hate the rule all you want. The Czech could have done the same and stayed out of the crease- but he didn't.

Hate him, too.

The shot wasn't from the right of Smith..

Not hating the rule, but it was the wrong call acceding to the rule. For the reason I listed several time before in this thread.

Good game both teams.
