It's doesn't? Found this in the IIHF rules. It could be wrong but...

Goal Crease Area: Unless the puck is in the goal crease area, a player of the attacking team may not stand in the goal crease. If the puck should enter the net while such conditions prevail, the goal will NOT BE ALLOWED.

Old rulebook? I know that once was the rule but feels like many moons ago.

Ok thanks....was not sure as I just found it with a search.

 

[Pieck]

Could Dionicio win defenseman of the tournament?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Swiss was missing Bischel, their best D

Found this in the new rulebook page 152 5.D

5.D. An attacking player plants
himself within the goal crease, as
to obstruct the goaltender’s vision
and impair his ability to defend
his goal, and a goal is scored.
Goal is disallowed.

Left when it was 2-0. Shocked to see this one went to OT. Kudos to Switzerland for battling.

It's shocking to see how posters on here don't know the rules

This is the NA nightmare matchup. Forever will our countries be mixed up with each other by some North Americans.

I get called an American all the time in Europe but I don't tend to take it personally.

On here its a compliment to be called an american when you’re a canadian maybe that’s why?

I think this plays into what I was saying, thanks for highlighting the ignorance that exists with that comparison. It was a light hearted reference to a commonly known cultural thing.

Switzerland and Sweden are entirely different countries with nothing in common and we don't share a border. Do I have to explain that none of us are ever offended by it but just laugh at it?

 

[NyQuil]

Switzerland and Sweden are entirely different countries with nothing in common and we don't share a border.

Canada and the United States are also entirely different countries.

Thank you for highlighting my point.

You sir deserve a medal!

Just make sure to put a Maple Leaf on it instead of an Eagle.

 

[DeltaSwede]

Gotta make the semis to have a chance at a medal..

I wasn't even in the tournament!

But your generous opinion of my hockey skills is much welcomed.

You Canadians and your peanut butter.

Interestingly, my many years of living in Europe has presented a different perspective than what I read on this discussion board.

On a pure hockey discussion board that is. I can’t imagine why

There are CHL rules, NCAA rules. NHL rules. Nobody is going to care about IIHF rules that affect 2 tournaments a year.

This Amerika-Canadian thread is quite confusing. Congrats Camerica!

We prefer Americada.

 

[RedHawkDown]

As a Canadian, I’m Rooting for Sweden to go all the way

 

[YippieKaey]

As a Swede im happy for the wil but the refs sucked for the last 10 of the 3rd and OT. Weird call on Dionicio for sure.

But, a win is a win.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Please Canada, you are irrelevant this year.
Just leave all threads alone from now on.

It’s annoying to see the whining you bring to the board and rooting for the underdogs.

Switzerland fought hard but Sweden is the better team on paper and on the ice.
