GDT: Bronze Medal Game - February 24 - Czech Republic vs Canada

[Ceremony]

That call was nonsense. The player was outside the crease and Poulin tries to go into the space where the player is, he's not doing anything illegal and there's nothing he can do when Poulin tries to move.

Right skate in the blue paint.

Hate the rule but it is what it is.

 

[Barrie22]

Goalie ran out to make contact. Should count IMHO.

He was still in his crease. Players can't just crowd the blue paint to stop the goalie from making the save.

 

[Natey]

Have no idea how they judge these in international play.

Considering they stop the play if a player enters the crease before the puck enters.

Goalie ran out to make contact. Should count IMHO.

No. The player made contact with this foot in the crease.

Well, overturned. No goal. Skate was just inside commentators say. And that it was a very hard decision. They seemed a bit surprised, but not like it was an impossible outcome.

Credit to Canada for coming out strong today when they could have just folded. It does still make yesterday tough to shallow though because of their bad start

 

[offkilter]

NBC announcers are saying Poulin was prevented from moving across to make the save and while I'm not arguing he wasn't interfered with, I don't think his intent was to make a save as it was to hit the Czech player and push him away.

Commentators on the Canadian feed was not surprised after they saw the replay at all. His skate was in the blue crease before the puck and made contact. In IIHF rules, that's not a goal.

How is Roy going in with a different number on his jersey?

If I'm not mistaken, the play should have been called dead when the player entered the crease before the puck anyway. That happened yesterday in the Canadian game.

Wasn't there a same situation yesterday against Russia when it was a good goal?

Yeah, but that part you cannot challenge if I've understood it right.

Anyhow, no goal, and not a problem.

Good job Team Canada!

 

[Loosie]

Where was this team against the Germans?

This game is one of the weirdest games I have ever seen.

 

[Name Nameless]

That's gonna come back too?

 

[Barrie22]

They can challenge goalie interference though which there was 2 cases of it before the goal was scored.

 

[Lurked4Yearz]

Below the bar, should count.

 

[Name Nameless]

To many men. Shampo noticed it way before the refs.

All I know is 8 years from now someone is going to have a massive argument on HFboards over who has Roy's Olympic game worn jersey before another steps in and reminds everyone he wore both.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Wow too many men....it's like we are destined to choke in hockey these Olympics....

LOL the way this game is going the Czechs could easily come back to win.

 

[New User Name]

Smart thing to do is for the Czechs to pull the goalie.

 

[Name Nameless]

Hah. It was kind of obvious, really.

 

[GQS]

OMG 6-4 LOL. Good thing we have 2 more to spare. :S
