World Cup: Aug 31 GDT - USA vs. Canada

I was thinking that the refs have been awufl..Shouldnt Heatley be wearing orange though instead of gold?

 

[loadie]

Nice job of Brodeur of dragging Konowalchuk into the net...then breaking his stick on someones legs

I think Kono went in the net on his own, and then Brodeur grabbed him. I never saw a stick broken on anyones legs.

 

[Chaos]

Perhaps this has already been asked, but who is the idiot in the booth with Thorne and Clement? He's very minor league, if that.

Jeremy Roenick

 

[cycle_it]

yeh....I don't think the third will be pretty

Well Sakic drove him into the net....that seemed kind of clear....maybe he didnt break his stick on a leg...I was going by what Thorne and co. were saying...although I know that may not be the smartest thing to do

 

[Reilly311]

lol, biased reffing as usual.

 

[blah]

Are you serious? How can you not know whose mouth that voice is coming out of?

 

[Nazzy-19]

I'm surprised that Iginla didn't get 2 for roughing, but pleased.

 

[HF_Rangers]

Biased refereeing so far... seems like Brodeur can do no wrong in the eyes of many but he's a cheap ******* sometimes and that proved it.

 

[sketchykg]

Referee is french for Pejorative Slured.

Roenick is french for Pejorative Slured too.

 

[CarlRacki]

Can someone explain how Iginla can jump into a fight (well, it was sort of a fight), drop his gloves and throw punches but end up with zero penalty minutes? The home cooking is mighty tasty for Canada so far tonight.

You know Canada has a long history of cheating in Canada Cups ... so this comes as no surprise to me.

 

[EaGLE1]

Where is Lemieux? He looks finished. Like Gretzky in his last year in NHL.
He's not superhuman anymore. Sad but true.

Never lived to see those Canada Cups... but I remember the 2002 Olympics for the bad refereeing in the Gold Medal Game... yet the U.S. play didn't help much either.

 

[Reilly311]

why is Modano out? injury I assume?

 

[SopelFan*]

Lemieux owned Konowalchuk.

 

[cstu]

lol, biased reffing as usual.

Uh oh, he's busting out the conspiracy theory, folks.

 

[leaflover]

Esche is the only player on the US who is actually playing in this game.

And Tkachuk.

 

[Holly Gunning]

Jeremy Roenick. He had an interview with Steve Levy between periods regarding the betting incidents earlier and has been doing commentary all game long.

Oh. Well that explains why he's rooting for a side then. He sounds very unprofessional as a broadcaster, but if he's a player, then that's fine. Carry on.

 

[Reilly311]

I wouldnt say it was the bad reffing as much as it was the pathetic diving going on.

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

A russian fan talking trash? Tsk. Maybe you should go cheer for what's left of the Russian team.

 

[EaGLE1]

Lemieux owned Konowalchuk.

Maybe, but it's not his job. I seen 1 good play by Lemieux. He made a pass à la Gretzky from behind the net. Not very impressive overall, he better be good in 3rd period.

 

[Reilly311]

Uh oh, he's busting out the conspiracy theory, folks.

what game are you watching? How you can justify canada getting a power play out of all that? you're crazy.

 

[SopelFan*]

Amonte?

 

[CapsCrazyX17]

Lemieux owned Konowalchuk.

No, he's a punk who came at Kono from behind.
