GDT: Quarter Finals: Canada vs Czechia; Jan. 2, 2025; 19:30 EST

[Tobias Kahun]

That’s not even a penalty.

 

[Smif]

Thigh on thigh again

Ezactly. Point of contact and first contact is center of the body.

 

[belair]

These are not kneeing penalties. All three are missed checks where the leg stays stationary on the initial path. It's incidental contact. A trip at the very worst.

 

[MTU34]

That’s the correct call imo. Goes out of his way to adjust to the Czech player avoiding it but Gibson’s knee is not out as blatantly as Beaudoin’s was

 

[Juniorhockeyguru]

Dave Cameron emotionless

 

[eviohh26]

2mins is the right call. 5 would be silly.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

In what world is this a penalty

 

[heynowbababooey]

Big kill coming up from Canada. Don't worry.

 

[swissdude]

that's a joke that was way more kneeing than the first one...

 

[crowncarrier]

What about the forearm to McKennas head. If the whistle is away keep it away.

2 or 5 it’s still a penalty.

 

[trilobyte]

Kiil it. Get a shorty

 

[1989]

Now it's 2 minutes for a knee, after a 5-minute major for a lesser knee, and another earlier minor for a trip.

You think these refs get a police escort out of the arena after the game?

 

[Matty Sundin]

Shouldn’t be a penalty but whatever I guess

 

[Chainshot]

Who was the Czech player without a stick that was absolutely everywhere in the d zone?

Holinka, #28

 

[SillyRabbit]

LOL why is everything a 5 minute penalty in the IIHF!?

 

[bdub24]

This is what happens when you hire Oppenheimer to coach juniors hockey

 

[GreeningOil]

Incredibly dirty from Canada unsurprisingly

W H A T

Literally one guy opening his legs like he’s about to do the splits and a guy finishes a check.

Get a grip.

 

[Woodrow]

Canada almost put it in their own net there :0

 

[jj cale]

That's a tough call to make this late under the circumstances.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

That was a bad call. The other two were fine, that one the Czech player tried to jump around him

 

[Hinterland]

Wow. Just 2'? Crazy. Such a dirty hit. Late as well. Puck long gone.

What was Gibson even thinking? Such a hit late in the 3rd with the game tied? What a moron. This could be the game.

 

[Ruok]

I do feel for canadian players now. They haven't been disciplined, but the refs are just calling every little thing.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Didn't realize the knee was located in the hip bone.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

Not a single knee was involved in that hit.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Of course
