Its almost as hilarious as not being able to sense sarcasm on a post that is dripping in it.

Having seen other posts of that guy, my money is on "not sarcasm"...and there are plenty of non-sarcastic posts like that if you look over these threads from the years.
 
Hart has been huge

Ingram isn't nearly as bad as he looked recently and Hart isn't nearly as bad as he was early in the tournament.

You Canadian fans are silly hard on kids. Hart has been solid, not huge. We'll see how he deals with odd man breaks, lol.
 
Anyone who suggests cheaters cheat because they aren't good enough................

Grundstrom barely touched him, how was he supposed to know a shoulder nudge would make him flail.

Probably should swallow your pride and not hit people after the whistle... (even though Chabots was late too)
 
Lets not act like there wasn't blown non-calls for the swedes either. Early on in the period the refs didn't call a sequence where a swedish player was coming down the wing and entering the canadian zone in a very good situation but had his stick held. Canada was lucky to not get a penalty there. I'd say it's about even right now, been some bad calls both ways.
 
Canada doesn't dive and they don't get the call with the empty net chance.

Chabot falls down and they get the PP.

Shocking.
 
Hopefully Hart can step up, we keep playing this way in front of him(we could clean up some bad d-plays) and if Hart does his job capably we stand a good chance of winning.

The lack of competition sweden has faced thus far really shows............... beatable team.
 
I asked a couple times so I assume the answer is yes. I complained about this several years back. They say allowing international players helps our game... But I disagree when it comes to goaltending. There is only so many goaltending positions on our junior teams, so why do we allow international goalies to play on our junior teams taking away an opportunity from a Canadian kid. Doesn't the USA goalie play for the London Knights?
 
I'm pumped ofr Sweden to dive and then Canada fans ***** at Swedish fans about diving.

It's almost as if it's part of the game or something? :popcorn:
 
I'm perfectly fine with the refs letting both teams play. There has been a nice flow to this game. There is nothing worse than having a tonne of penalties disrupting the flow to a game. Turning it into a special teams match up. As long as it is called even for both teams, let the best team win.
 
If it was a dive, I guess its the first one a lot of these people have seen. I can understand the complaining.... new to the sport .. it's ok
 
Grundstrom barely touched him, how was he supposed to know a shoulder nudge would make him fall over

Chabot nudged the swede, then Grundstrom cross checked Chabot

Geez, people :laugh:

He embellished but it wouldve been a penalty anyway, use your brains.
