GDT: USA (5) vs. Canada (4) • Gold Medal Game • Jan. 5 • Part 1

[melinko]

US defenders have a habit of vacating the backdoor and moving to pressure the puck carrier.

 

[John Agar]

I can see where this is heading...

Canada can't handle the US in O'end along the boards...

If the US can establish possession deep in Canada's zone, we will be in big trouble...

Until that starts to happen, we will be ok...

Go Canada !!!

Such an obvious hold that set up that goal. Just hit their goalie as hard as you can, refs are letting it go

Personally thought it was a penalty myself, but I think it was because White went into the goalie that the refs let it wash. Unfortunate that referees are influencing the outcome though.

Awesome that Chabot jumped into the play to get that goal. Can't deny that Canada got away with some blatant missed calls in the play right before though. Refereeing needs to be better than that in a game like this.

 

[Kamiccolo]

God you can see the difference between these guys and NHlers.

 

[Pi]

So Canada's strategy is to Canada their way to gold: tackle guys, no call because the game is in Canada, score the other way because the tackled guys can't get on their check.

Refs are from Finland and Switzerland. Stop makig excuses. Plenty of time left. I can guarantee Hart won't be getting a shutout. It's a junior game. It will probably be a 5-3 kind of game.

anybody have a river or a brook?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Canada , can you stop passing the puck to those who wear the USA on their chest? thanks.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Canada can't break the puck out properly. We're going to get burned if we don't get our **** together soon.

 

[Jaykay]

The call, or lack thereof, was very unfortunate.

It happens though, move on and even it up.

Refs can't win.

Let them play? People complain and say they need to be better in a game like this. Call penalties and people say they are deciding the game. It's a no win situation because the team who would have benefited from the call/non call will always hate it.

White doesn't hit the goalie if he isn't taken down. So if that was their reasoning....it's poor.

 

[Apotheosis]

Woooohooooooooooooooo
