PGT: Semi-Final | Russia Vs Canada | 6PM | TSN/NHLN | Pt 2

[Czechboy]

I'm a fan of both teams but, to be honest, I was really cheering for a close game and a dramatic third.

Where did that end up?

 

[McDrai]

Every time I see a "neutral" fan complain about the refs

 

[Bounces R Way]

Clearly Cozens has been the best Canadian forward this tournament but who do you guys like for #2?

Pelletier or Newhook would be my choices.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Ray Ferraro is like the Jeff Van Gundy of NHL commentators he just complains about everything but I just love him for some reason

 

[HuGo Sham]

people complaining about the refs are not watching the game. Ok complain about the refs all you want: Russia would still be down 4-0

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

The Canadian refs have not been a factor at all this game. Russia is losing because they're getting horribly out played and their goaltending has been poor. So far I can't really point to any super egregious missed calls. I hate offside challenges...but the refs made the right call.

 

[nbwingsfan]

So wait there's actually people who think this game is only a blowout because of the Refs? Are we watching the same game?

 

[blindpass]

But how? Russian player's skate hit the ice before puck crossed the blue-line. It is easy to see.

And then was over again before the puck. Easy to see.

 

[Bedards Dad]

It could be 4-2.

It could be 8-0 if calls were different. Playing quantum mechanics with hockey means anything could happen with a different call.

What we do know is Russia has not looked good and Canada has been the better team by a mile.

 

[Antonglk]

I was thinking could we blame Larionov for this. Not sure about that. I think whole team is not just good. Accuracy is a key in this case and still I see a lot of missed shots. Canada is really good.
There is no future for Russian hockey, since this is just a start of degradation in player talents. Corrupted coaches, officials this all dont help talented guys to develop.

 

[Alerion]

After seeing the Russian PP, Canada better stay the hell out of the box in the 3rd. Do not want to awaken that beast.

 

[Rob]

The IIHF and the NHL need to get rid of challenges for offside. It is ruining the excitement for fans.

Same with UEFA and VAR.

 

[John Agar]

If you don't like the offside or the penalty shot call. Blame the European IIHF, not the Canadian refs just following the paradigm of those rules. Okay.

By the way... in the Part 1 of this thread...

I did mention 2 linesman missed the call of offside on that play...

And the conspiracy theory is dead...

Because they are Canadian...

i love how he goes full hoser accent by the middle of each of canada's games

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I thought I had finally caught up with this thread, then I realized there was a second one!

 

[Oleksiak]

Maybe Askarov thinks it's a penalty to hold his own stick.

 

[MXD]

If that would happen to Canada it would be called a goal. That is the point

Prove it.
(Of course, you can't)

 

[Zybalto]

Newhook.

Newhook imo. Mcshinpads #3

 

[Jordan Belfort]

This guy has salt and delusion on another level. Stop trying to come up with this conspiracy to make up fore the fact that your team is getting utterly and indisputably dominated. Calls don't go your way, boohoo. Enjoy the bronze medal game and stop crying your team is bad

 

[Stive Morgan]

i love how he goes full hoser accent by the middle of each of canada's games

It's like watching the game with your drunk uncle

 

[D Wakaluk]

It's not a good look having canadian refs in these games. They could call a perfect game (which the arent doing) but it would still be a little iffy

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Good call
Good move
Better save

Pretty much sums it up

He had room on the shot and he couldn't lift the puck.. good save

 

[tictactoe]

Where did that end up?

I would not care...
