Well, you gotta think we are probably due for the next PP given out, need to capitalize on it.

This place will riot if not.

Salt Lake City all over again.

 

[canadianguy77]

Well, this is being broadcasted in the USA....this isn't an NHL game

It doesn't have to be so blatant. Its like when Eddie O does NBC games that involve Chicago. At least pretend to have some integrity.

 

[TheSituation]

Lmao American fans acting like they wouldn't be a bit upset if this same thing was opposite lol.

There's a bit and then there's what we're seeing right now

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

You miss where she blatantly slashed the Canadian player twice ?

It happens like that in the NHL as well if we are being honest. Hell, most sports..they always see the retaliation.

 

[JackSlater]

Entertaining first period, USA had the better of the play. Looking forward to the penalties (hopefully) somewhat evening out.

It must be said, the Lamoureux twins are such good heels. It's like if the Sedins looked like Laine and played like Marchand.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That's every single hockey game. The retaliatory penalties are the ones that are called. Officiating is on par imo

So when Americans throw more obvious body checks than Canada got called for, like they did twice that period, they should get a penalty

 

[trellaine201]

How come woman aren’t allowed to hit?

Like the guys on TSN don't do the same during he WJC...

Grapes “I want to show you the classic dive”.

I actually bursted out laughing, tell them Don.

 

[jj cale]

Too bad the US scored first, Canada had a way better 1st period

Thats the encouraging part, we indeed were the better team that period.

We just need a few opportunities next period next period and we will be o.k.

 

[Captain Bowie]

I'll have to rewind and watch it but it was behind the play so maybe the ref's didn't notice that and all they saw was the player with no stick
Things like that happen all the time

That makes it OK?

 

[Bood12]

You miss where she blatantly slashed the Canadian player twice ?

those were chippy hockey plays, if you are batting a stick out of a players hands especially out of a retaliation I am pretty sure a ref is going to call that especially at this level

 

[ZJuice]

Nobody wants to talk about the 7 Canadian girls on the ice and no penalty being called for that?

Do the refs seem smart enough to count?

 

[Canadienna]

Americans started hard, not sure about the penalties, but give the Americans credit for a well played first.

Time to kick their butt next.

 

[jj cale]

Grapes “I want to show you the classic dive”.

I actually bursted out loud, tell them Don.

And it was, but that shit happens.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Last call was a penalty IMO. Just a stupid thing to do.

it was a dumbo penalty for Nurse to take. but there were some interference calls missed - but Canada didn't fall down. call a fair game.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Munich 1972 Gold Medal basketball game. You must be too young to remember the clock being reset to 3 seconds three times until USSR scored.

I laugh that you need to go back 45 years to find an example...

 

[canadianguy77]

Like the guys on TSN don't do the same during he WJC...

Its not nearly as bad. Peirre is embarrassing himself.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How come woman aren’t allowed to hit?

Americans are, just Canada cant

 

[Suntouchable13]

That's not Ron.

 

[LastOne2100]

That's ok, just more refs who will end their careers today.

Despite the penalties, Canada looked great, definitely can beat both the US and the questionable standards.

 

[Prov1X]

First penalty, weak call, but if you are going to call it, call it both ways. Second was even worse, third penalty was deserved, they always catch the retaliator!

 

[snipes]

And it was, but that **** happens.

Good ol international refs, been here before many times my friend.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

those were chippy hockey plays, if you are batting a stick out of a players hands especially out of a retaliation I am pretty sure a ref is going to call that especially at this level

Ah yes when the American is slashing it is a chippy hockey play but as soon as the American drops her stick it's a slashing call.

Makeup for the dive penalty earlier I guess, which was kinda weak.
