GDT: USA (4) vs. Russia (3) • Semifinals • Jan. 4

[Ola]

Apparantly TSN thought it was 3?

 

[XokkeyGuy]

How come the Russians didn't celebrate after three rounds?

If this was an in-game change of rules then Russia should appeal.

But the russian players were celebrating and about to go out on the ice.

 

[Canuckistani]

It's five in elimination games.

Since when?

It's been three rounds since at least 2007.

Samsonov. Its like this - he played good during the game so no one wants to blame him for the loss, but... Once they scored the first one on him in the shootout he couldnt stop a beachball. Nothing they wont be used to in Washington, same thing happens every year in the layoffs, everyone hates to blame holtb because he plays well, but is always outplayed by the guy at the other end in the big games.

Sidorov did

One of the players did. Looked like a fool. Maybe the rest of us were the fools.

Weird, because there seemed to be a lot of confusion on the ice and especially the russians seemed to have no idea about it. If they changed their rulebook, not communicating it clearly is really bad. Definitely looked like it affected the russians.

They probably should have looked up the rules? That's up to the management, the officials cannot babysit anyone and call everyone separately.

 

[Fantomas]

Samsonov's five hole will give me nightmares.

Repost since a lot of people miss or choose to ignore..

As a Canadian fan, I hate to agree with you, but you're right. I'll be shocked if Canada gets passed Sweden today.

Sweden is loaded.

We are unbeatable and the best ever!!! At least when games don't mean anything...

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Isn't it 5 shooters in elimination games

 

[Siamese Dream]

It's 3 shooters in the rulebook

 

[La Masse]

Kanin hit on Myers was borderline. Dont worry if Canada wins against Sweden someone will take out that 12 year old Keller

 

[Plub]

WTF??? If it's the case, Russia need to protest and go to the final, because after 3, we were ahead.

It's 5 rounds in elimination game for the millionth time.

 

[MaxV]

Russia NEVER wins shootouts in this tournament.

According to the IIHF rulebook

Overtime procedure

In case of a tie at the end of regulation in a quarterfinal, semi-final and bronze medal game, there will be a 10-minute, sudden-death overtime period, following a three-minute intermission. The teams will defend the same goals as in the third period. The team, which scores first is the winner.

In the gold medal game there will be a 20-minute sudden-death overtime, following a full intermission during which the ice will be resurfaced. The teams will change ends. The team which scores first is the winner.

All sudden death overtime periods are played four skaters on four.

If no goal is scored during the sudden-death overtime, there will be game winning shot (GWS) competition ’shootout’. Each team must select three shooters to compete in the GWS. If the score is still tied after the teams have had three attempts each, the teams continue to shoot in pairings until the shooter of one team misses and the shooter of the other team scores. See Game Winning Shots Procedure.

Game Winning Shots Procedure

If no goal is scored in overtime then the Game Winning Shots procedure will apply. The following procedure will be utilised:

Three different shooters from each team will take alternate shots, until a decisive goal is scored.
If the game is still tied after three shots by each team, the GWS will continue with a tie-break shoot out by one player of each team, with a reversed shooting order. The same or new players can take the tie-break shots.


The same player can also be used for each shot by a team in the tie-break. Only the decisive goal will count in the result of the game.

Note: This GWS procedure applies for all games.

If that's the case, Russia had a goal on their first 2 shots, while the USA missed their first 3. How awkward would it be if the IIHF rules that Russia is going to the gold medal game?

It's 5 rounds in elimination game for the millionth time.

Not according to the IIHF site. Where does it say 5 rounds?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Guys, what's more likely:
1. The rule was changed and they didn't update a stupid website almost nobody goes to.

2. All of the officials on and off ice completely forgot how many rounds it's supposed to be.

International Junior Hockey? I could believe both. Still hilarious, I thought Russia won after 3.

For playoff games (except for the gold medal game) the overtime period will be played four-on-four for 10 minutes. If still tied, both teams will go to a five-round shootout and potential tie-break shots.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

It's 5 rounds for this game, Gord Miller went over all the variations numerous times during TSN's pre-tournament games' broadcasts. Good win by the Americans.

 

[Zaddy]

I can't ever remember it being 5 rounds before. So if they changed the rule they have to be very clear about that change. Not informing everyone correctly is bush league. Hell, it even seemed the refs didn't know for sure what the rule was.

[Fantomas]

Not a single freaking clutch save from Samsonov. Americans made him pay.

 

[Hullois]

They did celebrate after USA missed their third attemp.

Apparantly TSN thought it was 3?

RDS also thought it was 3. The PbP guy even read the rules on the air afterwards.

 

[mindfly]

When did US and Canada last time play a final in this tournament? Maybe it was recently....but then I've forgotten lol
