GDT: Semi-Final | Russia Vs Canada | 6PM | TSN/NHLN

[nucksflailtogether]

I hate that offside rule with a passion. So detrimental to the game.

 

[NyQuil]

He didn't. He barely tapped his glove BS call. Glad he didn't score.

I really wish I could manipulate reality with my eyes the way you can.

 

[Oilslick941611]

You really hope canada loses the final after this decision

I don't

 

[Stive Morgan]

I'd shoot on Askarov given his struggles earlier. He played both of those chances very well though.

I would've shot it stick side as hard as I can.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Actually Chistyakov touched the line with his skate again before pick entered the zone, but these refs...

I also thought the re-touch would make it inconclusive...

 

[BigHitter67]

Bullshit penalty-shot too. Love these refs.

Red Wings could win Stanley Cup with these guys.

Canadian refs?

 

[Holystik]

Canada team dominating Russia in every aspect of the game.

HFboards: Referees durk a durrrrr.

 

[sandysan]

Honestly a really disgraceful aspect of this tournament is the all-Canadian crew for Canada's games

I have head this somewhere before it seems.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hate the rule all you want, but they had no choice but to make the call as it was made. Rather pathetic to complain about the refs. But also predictable.

Refs also aren't even the one's who determine if its offside.

 

[J1mLahey]

Give credit where credit is due that was one hell of a save by Askarov

 

[jcs0218]

f***. Should have gone backhand forehand

Should have done Bombay's Triple Deke.

 

[780il]

Canada’s absolutely dominating lmao the salt is real eh

 

[iCanada]

Man that’s pathetic.
Why in the world.. his foot goes down.

So dumb

It's the right call. He didn't have possession of the puck legally.

It's a shit rule though, had zero bearing on the goal and play wasn't really offside by the intent of the rule. But by the letter, it's definitely offside.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Hate that rule, come on inch away and 1 min before the goal..

Correct decision however

 

[ag3r]

And then no penalty on Ponomarev and of course penalty shot for Canada lol

 

[Maplebeasts]

Complain about the refs all you want, Russia does not deserve to be in this one. They have nothing going offensively outside of the pp and their defense has been horrendous.

 

[McDrai]

Bullshit penalty-shot too. Love these refs.

Red Wings could win Stanley Cup with these guys.

It's always the Finnish fans who cry

 

[Antonglk]

As I said before, Canada refs shall not officiate Canada games. Good thing that in this case it doesn't change anything really, since Canada completelly dominate in this game.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

That was such a bad bad bad bad bad call.

Makes this entire tournament look like shit.

 

[Del Preston]

Bullshit penalty-shot too. Love these refs.

Red Wings could win Stanley Cup with these guys.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I’m glad the PS was saved, weak call.
Not because “Canadian Refs”. Refs want to play well also

 

[CanadianSniper]

He learned from Byram in the first period

Is that why Byram was bleeding?

 

[Smif]

He didn't. He barely tapped his glove BS call. Glad he didn't score.

It's IIHF, you can't touch the hands.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

*Canada dominates all over the ice all game*

"These Canadians NEED the refs help!!!!!!"

This feels like deja vu. And its the same posters as last time despite their country not playing

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Canada’s absolutely dominating lmao the salt is real eh

Salt is real, love the salt
