[Vikke]

it was in, it hit the goal cam inside the net.

No, the ref made a faulty decision!

Russian hockey federation should make it very clear that Hannu Henriksson is never, ever allowed to judge Russia´s games again. He was the main reason Canada "won" this game. For example he ripped Russia from a penalty shot when Regehr closed the puck under his glove in the goal crease. A penalty to Afinogenov in the first period was a total joke too.

see...

He's got a point, though. I'm not saying that Canada won because of the ref, I'm just saying that some of the penalties were insane. And Thornton NOT getting one for spearing Afinogenov?

Again I'm pointing out what I said first: I am NOT suggesting that Canada won because of the ref.

the officiating always stinks - its how you deal with it - not counting a goal is probably the worst blunder of all -

 

[JetLi]

Canada wasn`t worth a place in the final and all this thanks to Henke!
allt those who saw tha game could say else or otherwise they are sick....

i'll admit we are doing it on the ugly side but the trend with canadian teams is we get stronger as the tourney progresses - looked pretty dominating to me in the first half of the game - then marty held strong - the ref can't actually shoot the puck

 

[Peter25]

Right now I´m just so angry at Henriksson. It makes me ashamed to be a Finn that my "countryman" was so biased in this game.

 

[Vikke]

Heh, the Swedish announcers said "maybe Henriksson wants to work in the final, too".

It´s easy to "get stronger" when you have a ref on your side.

 

[Peter25]

What did he mean?

 

[Backin72]

Maybe if Russia had of shown up for the first period, you whiners would be singing a different tune. Game's over now, get over it.

 

[Vikke]

What did he mean?

For everyone: This is not my opinions.

He implied that Canada has so much influence on the IIHF that they'd get to choose referee for the final.

Yawn.

It is the ref's fault Russia didn't show up for the first period? Canada sleepwalked through the 2nd and 3rd but held on. I give credit to the Russian team though, they really came on when I expected them to fold. And speaking of blown calls, how about the phantom offside on what would have been Canada's 5th goal to seal it?

I guess that's the name of the game though, when you're the best people want you to lose. And in Petey's case it is blind bias and hatred.

i guess there's no response to that

 

[f1nn]

oh its not a generalization. every single european i've had contact with on this board is blamming the ref after they loose.

anyways, goodbye sweden have fun in the bronze medal game

and by the way Russia is considered to be in asia not europe

 

[SirSamofHouseBennett]

Interesting, over here Peter25 claimes he didn't see the game yet still claimes that Henriksson is biased. Yet at the jatkoaika.com boards he's claming that he saw the game and complains about Henriksson's bias.

good observation ... i could tell from his first post he was trolling ...
