William Bonney I feel like money and politics have now entered this tournament. At the beginning of round play they were calling all kinds of penalties now all of a sudden they stopped and letting Canada play their game.
TSN money has spoken. I won't watch this tournament anymore.
Can you reply I value your opinion.
Money and politics have always been a part of sports. Canada hosts this tournament every other year because of it.
I have no issue with the refs in that first. There were a few plays on both teams that probably would have been penalties in a round robin game, but I'd rather they let them play as long as they're consistent, and for the most part I thought they were so far.
The mugging Chabot put on that started the rush for the first goal was the most egregious non-call, but if Fox doesn't play that rush like he was Rob Schremp caught back on defense it's likely not even an issue.
The issue for the team so far is they look tired, and the flu they've been battling isn't helping. They needed to weather the predictable storm, and they did ok to start, but the wheels fell off after that first goal. An early goal in the 2nd is critical to turn the tides a bit, but hopefully get their legs going again more than anything.
