MOD WARNING:

Discussing of officiating potential biases outside of the actual play during this game, while worthy of its own discussion, is better discussed in the context its own thread rather then hijacking this one. What may happen during the course of this game is fully up for discussion, what may have happened in Sochi or 27 years ago is off topic for this thread. Posts will be deleted as OT and posters may be thread-banned from from the GDT if they continuously take this thread OT with posts ignoring this warning.

Flaming / Off-Topic Nonsense will not be tolerated. First an infraction, then a thread ban.

[Muston Atthews]

my issue is not that the canadians are getting called for penalties but that the russians arent

 

[Swervin81]

IV, not III

Dear lord, what a game.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Glad I'm a neutral 3rd party and can just enjoy the 3rd.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

I guess I don't have a problem with penalties now but the SAME things were being let go for Russia in 1st period.

 

[CH25]

We still have the lead boys

 

[Classicnamesup]

I am still holding out hope that the reffing equalizes but I know better deep down

 

[PG Canuck]

Part 4*

Gonna be an interesting third period

 

[His Beardliness*]

Go Russia! I want to see Canadian kids cry tonight.

 

[KPower]

I'll be shocked if Canada wins this now.

 

[IAmBobo]

Fucale sucks so bad....pull him already

 

[King Woodballs]

Still can't figure out why fucale was ever playing instead of Comrie

 

[SidGenoMario]

As I said in the last thread, typical Hockey Canada underthinking it once again and taking too many skilled players instead of actually building a TEAM with role players

It will. It always does.

 

[Adanac]

lol...should have been a penalty shot and Canadians are whining about refs...right.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

What is the pants pooping level at for fellow Canadian viewers?

 

[lawrence]

when one team gets 2 of the last 4 power plays were routine hits. NHL style game. Boarding... call what the hell was that, and need to see the replay on the latest powerplay.

Russia is the only country in this tourny getting head scratching consecutive powerplays.

 

[Ilyeu]

What was the Canadian coach doing after the 5-1 collapse, sticking something between his butt?

The Russian coach is way more experienced and has way more smarts that's for sure. You don't win against Canada, and keep coming back like that.

especially for the mods

 

[Rebuilt]

Glad I'm a neutral 3rd party and can just enjoy the 3rd.

Me too but I have v cash riding on the Canada win.

 

[MR4]

Lets see the panda commercial that's been played 1000 times, we gotta cheer the puck into the Russia net

 

[Hankerchief*]

If Canada loses this game the goat is on Canucks prospect Virtanen.

 

[Booshami]

Gauthier is so bad. He's been on for 3 of Russia's goals yet they still ****ing play him.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Intermission came at THE perfect time

 

[Tv9924]

Guys it's OK, they just wanted to make it so that McDavid gets the GWG
