GDT: USA (5) vs. Canada (4) • Gold Medal Game • Jan. 5 • Part 2

[CanuckCity]

Man the exaggerated whining and blaming the refs for every little thing make these threads unbearable

like do you guys get off to it??

WCJ reffing is always a crapshoot and there have been no game-altering or game-deciding calls or even anything nearly egregious enough to warrant this level of bickering

guy carelessly swings his stick at the accelerating players skates but no of course its the refs fault for making an easy call or it was dive.

y'all would be losing your minds if a canadian player tripped and american that way and it was called a dive as you claim it was

just enjoy the bloody game

[John Agar]

LOL.

You're full of them tonight.

I'm full of it every night...

Come visit the Jets GDT threads... I'm much worse there...

 

[perrygetz1*]

You mean the IIHF?

Nah. I meant curling. Not Canada.

 

[Ainec]

I'm Canadian and I think Canada is really smart at embellishing

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

20 minutes for the rest of your lives boys!! Lets go USA!

 

[jj cale]

Well, that sure wasn't our period but I think we will come out and get back to business in the 3rd.

Should be a great third win or lose.

Gotta start pressuring those guys again.

There's a reason that this tournament has long been a Christmas/New Year tradition in Canada, and is now blowing up ratings wise in Sweden, Finland, Russia..

Just excellent hockey, most people look forward to December for Christmas. I look forward to it for the WJC's.

Here's to an excellent 3rd period between two great teams.

Agreed, should be a great and memorable third

Every good team is. It's such a non-argument.

 

[Anthony5967]

White and McAvoy had a good 2nd

McA has been great. I am just saying the big guys must show this period. Keller is the guy that has mostly been quiet IMO.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Let's do this! Go USA

 

[Muston Atthews]

Canada's gonna need to make a big kill. USAs gonna get their PPs

 

[Daeni10]

? What are you implying?

That the Canadiens fell down equaly easily against Sweden and in todays game. Not like they are embellishing or something, but it's not fair to call other teams out on it

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Anyone remember the reffing in the 2014 final Sweden vs Finland? This is still miles behind that

Every good team is. It's such a non-argument.

Yea, Literally every team does it, especially with IIHF refs which are usually programmed to call a penalty when someone falls down.

At least theyve tried to let them play tonight, including being really loose with icing calls.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Who ever wins please don't let this be decided by a shootout.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Let's go boys, kick some Yanks ass!

 

[jc17]

Who ever wins please don't let this be decided by a shootout.

Gold medal games should be continuous OT

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Who cares if the Canadian team embellishes? Every team does it! No excuses, just go out and ****ing beat 'em!

 

[IDuck]

20 miles to go

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Do it for freedom boys!! Do it for eternal glory. Do it for America!

 

[snipes]

Refs have let it go both ways. No one has excuses.

Game on.

 

[Anthony5967]

Stay out of the dang box!!!!

 

[Captain Bowie]

Whining time.
