WC: Women's World Championships in Finland

[PuckMunchkin]

But the penalty was called for the goalie

2min penalty for United States
#33 RIGSBY Alex for Tripping (served by #25 CARPENTER Alex).

So how can the penalty be called when USA had no control over puck? Finnish player put it in goal while it was delayed penalty

Ive never in my 25yrs of watching hockey, seen something this absurd

 

[Rangers79]

The US women’s hockey may have just lost some of the goodwill for their Olympic gold from last February.

Why? Did the players do this? Should they have refused to play?

 

[Lempo]

The Prez of the Republic already earlier commented on twitter about having to watch two results on Sunday night (the election and the home games finale in women's hockey).

The societal standing of women's hockey is a bit of an issue currently in Finland, it stems from there.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

NHL Network put rule up.

Refs did screw the pooch. Per the rule, it was clear goaltender interference on the Finnish skater.

Correct call was no goal and penalty on Finland

What made this more bizarre was the fact that the call was made on US Goalie.

Reality:

- Finns did not get screwed
- Refs screwed up
- Finns didn’t get the GWG, but they got a gift pp as a result of bad reffing.

 

[Nineteen67]

How much Trump paid for that?

Never seen bull**** like this In ice hockey. Nobody In Iihf cant even get answer for what that call was.

Us and A didnt win anything.

Finland made protest so nothing is over yet

If MAGA was involved in any way shape or form he would never let it get to OT.
But, since you brought it up, he should get involved and make Sauli buy the girls a nice dinner for all their troubles.

If it's a big deal in Finland that's fine but the people calling conspiracy and rigged are like the same people who think the moon landing was faked. Not everything is a big inside job rigged against you.

 

[bluesfan94]

Also, Rule 184(iii):
If a goaltender is outside his goal crease and an attacking skater prevents the goaltender from returning to his crease or prevents the goaltender from playing his position properly while a goal is scored, the goal will not count and the attacking skater will be assessed a minor penalty for interference.

Judging by this, Finland should be glad they came out of it with a power play and not 3-on-3, or killing a penalty

Nothing was rigged, just incompetent reffing that cost Finns the gold.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Do you realize how insignificant this is in the US? There's virtually no media coverage, I happened upon the 3rd period because I left the channel on NHL Network and they aired this instead of NHL highlight replays.

The final round of the Masters. MLB game snowed - yes, snowed - out. NBA and NHL playoffs and t minus 4 hours and counting until Game of Thrones premiere.

It’s beyond insignificant

 

[c9777666]

Why? Did the players do this? Should they have refused to play?

Beneficiaries of a bad call. It’s almost as if apparently they and Canada are never allowed to lose to anyone else

I agree 100%.

Bingo

Finland got gifted a PP coming out of that.

 

[Lepardi]

So the U.S. goalie tripped the Finn while the Finn interfered with the U.S. goalie. Makes sense.

 

[William H Bonney]

If that were the case Canada would have been in the gold medal game. Take a deep breath. It's going to be okay.

 

[c9777666]

I fear we’re gonna look back in 10 years at this like “Remember the one time Canada or the US almost did not win gold?” As we bemoan the predictability of a sport where apparently parity does not exist as the US and Canada win like the next 40 gold medals

 

[Albatros]

Do people believe she wasn't in the crease. According to the rule, she was in the crease.

Irrelevant.

 

[BourqueFromORRk4277]

So the U.S. goalie tripped the Finn while the Finn interfered with the U.S. goalie. Makes sense.

Well, the Finnish player did trip as she was running over the US goalie.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

The Olympics are watched by millions of people in almost every nation on the planet. Let's not compare the two.

It’s comparable. This tournament was watched by at least 14 people in the US that aren’t related to players on the team. Well, maybe 20 people of the remote got stuck when people were searching for reruns of bass fishing tournaments

 

[eggroll]

Irrelevant.

Why irrelevant? Doesn't incidental contact with the goalie in the crease mean no goal?

Rigged game.

 

[bluesfan94]

So the U.S. goalie tripped the Finn while the Finn interfered with the U.S. goalie. Makes sense.

Yeah, judging by this, the tripping was a bad call, and perhaps a gift call from the refs who felt bad about properly taking away a gold medal goal

 

[Lepardi]

Do people believe she wasn't in the crease. According to the rule, she was in the crease.

Can you quote that rule?

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Nothing was rigged, just incompetent reffing that cost Finns the gold.

The silly trick attempt on a must score OT chance has something to do with that as well.

 

[eggroll]

Can you quote that rule?

Well, let me ask, what constitutes "in the crease"? How much of the goalie has to be in the crease?

 

[Lepardi]

Yeah, judging by this, the tripping was a bad call, and perhaps a gift call from the refs who felt bad about properly taking away a gold medal goal

The ref lifted her arm before she even realized Finland had scored.
