Russia - Canada GDT

The funniest thing is the USA fans in here just waiting for a Canadian train wreck

Nah, even though I promised myself that I wasn't going to be cheering for Canada I find myself doing it anyways. The fact that they're playing Russia just makes it easier.

I am rooting for Canada as much as I have been rooting for USA... not just in hockey, but in all sports (well besides for today's curling semi final - haha)

I thought he said "guy"

I know he did

Poor, poor PP by RF. Not enough movement.

Dude I don't think you're going to find anyone objecting to the check but the intent is certainly there. Kasparitis is well known for injuring players with borderline hits, this was no different.

EVERY HIT has a certain intent. Kasparaitis plays a physical game, yes somewhat dirty, but I dont think the intent there was to injure Gagne, you disagree thats fine.

Can you read that before you post:
A player who delivers a check in a clipping manner or lowers his own body position to deliver a check on or below an opponents knees, shall be assessed a ...

"on or below an opponents knees"
Are you stupid or something ?!?!

I replied to a post that said the hit was hip to hip saying that the hip wasnt on the hip, In case you didnt know there is a length of body between the hip and knee. Its not that hard to figure out.

1st to get one will probably win.

 

[Bill McNeal]

Gagne is back! Sweeeeet!

 

[Den]

Dats can't play at all

 

[GKJ]

PP for Canada

Russia takes a goaltender interference penalty whey they have possession of the puck.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Ha, Kharitonov just glided between the defensemen there.

 

[Den]

Whar the hell!!!!!!!!!!!! What is this call!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OYLer]

Johnny (dummy) Larue finally does something right!

Celine Dion : the movie Crying Game...

See a connection?

 

[Bill McNeal]

Weak call against Russia

 

[Matrix]

GO CANADA GO!!!

The sooner Russia lose, the smaller the chances Kovy and Markov are hurt. Could you imagine 'Nucks fans with the loss of Ohlund and Salo......

 

[creative giant*]

Cheeky move by Smyth to push the Russian into Brodeur.

 

[Steve L*]

Another joke call, he was clearly pushed into the goalie

 

[Team_Spirit]

Whar the hell!!!!!!!!!!!! What is this call!!!!!!!!!!

Haha the ref will feel bad when he see the replay

Tell that to your team when they played the Russians in the 70's and 80's. Canada did some dirty hits. I am done with this topic lets move on.

 

[Silvercup Returns]

Refs.

 

[Nemchinov13]

Thank God!!! Nabokov

Russia was taking good body on this PK. but did not clear the zone.

 

[Bileur]

No and thats why it was a blown (non) call.

So... like I said the refs didnt think he hit filled the criteria or else there would have been a penalty.

Whats the point of this post? I hope Canada wins but I want to see a good game above all else.

Like Garbs said :

That's what I saw, but it's over and done with now.

Or it could be that they are hockey fans, and this is one of only two hockey games going on atm.

 

[joe_shannon_1983*]

Doan just hammered a Russian defenseman.
