GDT: WJC, NYE, Slovakia vs USA, 6am EST

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That's the right call, but could have seen it either way

 

[MTU34]

Yeah there’s clearly contact with the Slovak defender that sends Hayes in. I might be biased but that feels like the right call

 

[Tryblot]

His skate clipped the Slovakian players skate. It was incidental contact and he didn't do it on purpose but he still impeded with the goalies ability to make the save.

Yeah I think it was a bad call, the US player clipped the Slovak player from behind, not the other way around. Should have been a no goal.

rulebook:
If an attacking Player enters the Goal Crease and, by their actions, impairs the Goalkeeper’s ability to defend their goal, and a goalis scored, the goal will be disallowed.

It was definitely by the action of the attacking player, he clipped the Slovak from behind and got himself into a disbalance and contact with keeper.

 

[vlady]

two big kills

 

[Ivo]

Honestly don’t understand resting Gajan in a game that makes the difference between getting Finland and Latvia next. If he needs rest why didn’t they rest him against Norway?

 

[TLEH]

Fortescue continues his meh tourney. One step forward one step back.

 

[vlady]

oh crap, we can't afford to lose another D

 

[TheBeastCoast]

About as textbook a knee on knee as you can get.

 

[MTU34]

Reckless hit by Hayes. Not sure if it deserves 5 because he doesn’t stick his knee out but still a very dangerous play

 

[tobu]

Pisoja seem's to be done

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That's the right call. Reckless hit by Hayes.

 

[FourQuarters]

hopefully pisoja is ok…

 

[MTU34]

I don’t think Hayes sticks his knee out at all but I’m not going to complain about the call. That’s a bad hit

 

[BigBadBoar]

What exactly was going through Hayes' head? That was a completely reckless kneeing and I wouldn't be surprised if he's suspended for the QF game.

 

[TLEH]

Plan was stay out of the box. So we take a penalty and then a major. Good start.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Such bs. Not Hayes fault. He doesnt stick his leg out. Slovak player did it to himself trying to avoid a body on body hit.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Was that Hutson getting walked again? Dear god he's been brutal.

 

[TLEH]

He just overskated that by a mile. Augustine been good.

 

[MTU34]

Yep. He cannot be playing 25 minutes + penalty kill. Going to burn us for real at some point

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I don't understand playing him on the PK at all. He's been bad enough defensively at ES and on the PP.

Garbage. He was the best defensive d last game. Doesn't say much for the d though.

Lol no he wasn't. Maybe if you're a Habs homer, but not to everyone else.

He was better vs Czechia than he had been, but that doesn't say much.

 

[TLEH]

Hutson was downright brutal vs Norway and we won 11-3 against Swiss and he still was just okay in that game. He was good against Czechia.

He hasn't had a great start to this game.

If we’re strictly talking about defensive play he was brutal in the Swiss game too
