It's not a good look having canadian refs in these games. They could call a perfect game (which the arent doing) but it would still be a little iffy
imo, it's actually been an excellent look. they've been good all tournament - and much more patient with the scrums, whereas european refs would be tossing guys in the box for a little roughing after the whistle

Wow! 59 pages. I just cannot keep up to the boards here. But to put in my 2 cents worth on the hot topics...

Goalie losing stick on a regular basis and does not cleanly catch pucks during warmup screams "injury" to me.

Russian PP goals should have counted from what I saw on the replays. It looks like the player lifted his left leg and got his toe back down on the blueline BEFORE the puck crossed the blue line.

Canada is doing great. I remember past years where you would always wait for the #1 line to come on and start something. Not so with this edition. 4 lines coming in waves and all doing their share. This team is well balanced. Not taking too many bad penalties either. But the game is not won yet and we will need another solid period to put this one away.
 
If that would happen to Canada it would be called a goal. That is the point

Lol I love all those hypotheticals. “But if it happened to Canada the refs wouldn’t allow it!”. It’s offside get over it. Bad rule sure but nothing to do with bias against Canada. If Canada was in Russia’s situation after that goal you would be dancing around your living room so don’t give us that BS.
 
i love how he goes full hoser accent by the middle of each of canada's games

Sort of like this... ?

Well, blame the cheap IIHF that didn't want to pay for non-Canadian refs to be tested for that.

Even if there is no offside it still doesn't change anything really. They have to score 5v5. These refs will not give 4 calls against Canada for sure. But this team Russia can't do anything 5v5 and will do nothing in third.
 
Nobody cares. Favoring Canada is so clear that makes throw up.

Same messages are in Finnish forums also
LOL pathetic. Name one 'favour' that benefitted canada in this game other than complete domination? I guess the refs f'avoured' them too when they ran over the finns last week?

Russia needed probably two cheapies on Levi. Looks like they have to go 110 percent to just get one behind the kid.
