GDT: Group A • Dec. 31 • Canada vs. USA • Part III

[ARSix]

Well, Demko wall showing some cracks.

LOL what is he supposed to do there?!

 

[Aqualung]

Should've been interference. Canada gifted a goal.

Or, at the very least, called no goal because Lazar did not give Demko an opportunity to make a save by pushing into him.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Nope. It was a good call. Good goal based on IIHF rules.

Missed call...whatever.

Was every bit of goaltender interference.

100% Goaltender interference with no remainders.

 

[Plub]

It shouldn't have been a goal, but it really makes no difference. Canada is winning either way.

 

[arsmaster*]

That wasn't goalie interference. Demko made the first save and popped the rebound into lazar who shepherded it into the net with his belly.

It's called going hard to the net. Canada style.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Meh....call on that one could've gone either way. As it is, Canada has to tighten up a bit, because we used up a bit of good karma having that one go our way.

 

[Cody Webster]

What does it mean?

US vs Da Russians

 

[y2kcanucks]

As a Canadian I don't think that should have counted,

Not familiar with the rules? Based on the IIHF rules that's a good goal.

 

[WaltWhitman]

Time to run Comrie

 

[LiquidSnake]

Should've been interference. Canada gifted a goal.

Now I know how it feels to cheer an American team in the NHL

 

[Mr Positive]

there is slight contact there, but the contact did not impede the goalie's ability to make a save. It was a pinball goal that the goalie didn't even see

 

[Breakers]

Why didn't Virtanen get an assist on that?

IIHF has a history of not crediting players with points.

 

[Rals]

Lazar goes into the net to make sure the puck follows him

 

[57special]

Has Bowie taken a shot that hasn't been blocked?

 

[smurfyeah19]

Well shut this one off. Terrible to allow that goal

 

[trilobyte]

McDavid looked great on that rush and shot, so fast, so good.

 

[arsmaster*]

LOL what is he supposed to do there?!

Control his rebound better.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Or, at the very least, called no goal because Lazar did not give Demko an opportunity to make a save by pushing into him.

Call on the ice should have been incidental contact. It wasn't. So Canada was given a freebie.

 

[Coach Travis]

The only way Demko was saving that was with his glove. Lazar ran into his glove, yes, but ran into it while the puck was going under it. Good goal.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Guaranteed, huh?

Demko didn't even flinch or complain after about goalie interference.

USA has no business in this game either, they've been handled 5 on 5.

The Canadians would lose their **** if this was the other way around.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Gauthier!

 

[Raincouver]

Ok Canadians...so if the score stands...who do you start next game...Fucale or Comrie?

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Canadian tournament, Canadian refs, Canadian calls. This tournament will never change!

 

[Al Lagoon]

Guaranteed, huh?

Demko didn't even flinch or complain after about goalie interference.

USA has no business in this game either, they've been handled 5 on 5.

I had time to go downstairs, relieve myself, grab another beer, and they still hadn't resolved it. Not so clear cut.

 

[skyo]

damn that nice Domi pass just had to be to Gauthier. ha
