GDT: Sochi Part 2: Dis Gon Be Gud

[Anton Dubinchuk]

20 minutes from gold. Hopefully they got the cigars ready, the Schlitz's on ice and the gold plated American flag good to go. Let's go ladies

I blame you...

 

[Brock Anton]

Yeah, blaming CI is much more fun.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow, 20 minutes of 4-on-4?

Short shifts, I guess...

 

[Brock Anton]

I can't remember was the Gold Medal Game in 2010 4 on 4 in OT?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Here we go girls. Capitalize please

 

[Brock Anton]

LOL. That's a penalty?

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Could these teams be any more evenly matched? And could the gap be any wider between them and the rest of the world?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

LOL. That's a penalty?

The slash on the goalie?

Apparently. I don't really understand it.

 

[Brock Anton]

Penalty... but cross check?

 

[Novacane]

Weak.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Penalty... but cross check?

How about "falling over"?

Seriously, there's a LOT of that. Things that I think have to be penalties when watching live, but I see a replay and they just fall down on their own for no reason.

EDIT: I mean the defender just fell over for no reason, not the Canada player. It was definitely a penalty.

 

[Moosetache]

That was the most pathetic call ever. she didn't even touch her!

 

[Brock Anton]

The refs have completely lost the plot in OT.

 

[tomdundo]

brb, blaming CI.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Something about the US, Canada, overtime, and gold medals. That combination seems to make me sad, more often than not.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Weak call

 

[What the Faulk]

What abysmal refereeing in OT. That's just such a ****** way to end that game.

 

[Moosetache]

that official should be embarrassed. I wish I had missed the end of this now. You can't give a 5 on 3 in OT unless its completely egregious.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

What abysmal refereeing in OT. That's just such a ****** way to end that game.

I think the second penalty was legit. But the first one, the "slash," was one of the more brutal calls I've ever seen. Granted, I don't know much about the women's game, but that's not even CLOSE in men's.

Not gonna blame it, though. Two goal lead with 4 minutes left, nothing to complain about.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

How is taping the goals pads a slash? Let alone a cross check for getting your feet tangled?

How was the second penalty legit? she was getting caught from behind and fell over when the US defender got close. The US player MAY have touched her jersey, but that is all... Certainly not enough to knock her over.

Additionally, that is the first ever cross check from behind, that has caused the player to fall down BACKWARDS!

 

[rocky7]

what was a weak call, the tripping on the break away? accidental but an obvious trip nonetheless. should have been a penalty shot there. anyway these refs are pretty bad.

 

[Novacane]

Hey CI. Let's hold a little on the premature celebrations.

 

[Brock Anton]

I liked it better when the whistles were swallowed in OT.

The call of "crosscheck" is irrelevant. She tripped her on a breakaway. It was two minutes, for whatever it was.
