GDT: Sweden (2) vs. Canada (5) • Semifinals • Jan. 4 • Part 1

[Muston Atthews]

this is so dumb, if you have to cheat you ain't good enough

That's not true at all.

 

[ramdm5]

Europeans whine about refs in an international tournament, nothing new.

You missed the 3 pages of Canadian whining? Everybody whine about refs...

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I see you're back after taking a break from that World Cup disaster.

LOL, stop living in the past dude.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

What a joke.

This is Canada's game.
We invented it.
We perfected it.
We be its keeper.
CAN-A-DA! CA-NAD-A! C--ANAD-A!


And if we somehow lose (the refs, obvi), the government should shut down all the IKEAs. Gotta be tough.

Who is "we" you literally have nothing to do with Canada's success at hockey . I just find it hilarious how much pride my fellow countrymen have in something they have contributed nothing to. The Swede's they play have contributed more to hockey than you ever will, and yet you somehow feel superiority because some guys you've never met from your country are good at the sport. It's just so silly, it's hilarious.

 

[ViCiieux]

Chabot may have dove, it's still stupid of Grundstrom to take a run at him after the whistle

Just like Chabot then?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Ducharme pulling the right strings 2 games in a row when things looked dicey. Give him credit. Said this one too many times, but having him as coach has been night and day from Lowry last year.

 

[JFG]

Chabot going in with the elbow and then throwing himself to the ice. Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[leaflover]

Well that was one heck of a period of hockey wasn't it.

 

[Snippit]

Crazy first. Very interesting clash of playing styles.

Think this game is gonna finish 7-6 or something.

 

[Nordic*]

Missed calls both ways.

Just think it's pathetic that a great player like Chabot acts like he's been shot due to a small push from Grundstrom.

 

[Blitzago*]

are you saying canadians are ignoring these so called missed penalties?

What about the one where Barzal got taken down when it would of been a tap in?

Or are you just biased and delusional.

 

[scotian1]

Why isnt Nylanders number better in ahl? He has been dominating in this tournament.

There is quite a difference.

 

[Gnome17]

Europeans whine about refs in an international tournament, nothing new.

LMAO read the thread buddy, canadians are doing a pretty good job whining about calls aswell.
Disgusting dive by chabot or whatever his name is.

Yeah that was hard to read..

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Only the refs can be with Canada when they took away an obvious goal

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Good period for Canada, they have outplayed sweden.

We should be up 2-0, maybe 3-0 if you take into account that missed call.

If you take away Chabot dive it would be 2-1 Sweden

 

[Back in Black]

Wow, what an exciting 1st Period!

5-3 Canada win Final

 

[50 in 07]

Just like Chabot then?

I'm not defending what Chabot did, it was dumb you're right

But Grundstrom escalated it and he ended up getting called and Chabot didn't. It is what it is.

 

[Super Cake]

All this complaining about diving.

The majority of players dive. The only difference is that some make it more obvious than others.

Embellishments don't get called that often, so of course players are going to dive.

Stop *****ing at Chabot when most players do the exact same thing.

 

[22Brad Park]

You do realize USA Hockey chose to put it in Buffalo and not Hockey Canada right?

I get that but the crying here saying this game is rigged when no team gets the hime ice like Canada is laughable.

 

[Blitzago*]

Chabot going in with the elbow and then throwing himself to the ice. Absolutely disgraceful.

Pretty sure the swede threw him to the ice.

 

[McRpro]

Why isnt Nylanders number better in ahl? He has been dominating in this tournament.

AHL is a mens league. This is a bunch of kids.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

You missed the 3 pages of Canadian whining? Everybody whine about refs...

And every team dives.

 

[RayNibbs]

LMAO read the thread buddy, canadians are doing a pretty good job whining about calls aswell.
Disgusting dive by chabot or whatever his name is.

Yeah that was pretty bad on the refs, how did they not have atleast two guys watching that altercation able to make the right call

 

[realgoodleafs]

Why isnt Nylanders number better in ahl? He has been dominating in this tournament.

Because the AHL is a lot harder than this.
