WC SF: May 20 GDT - Canada vs. Sweden

[Vikke]

Hmm...recall:

Niedermayer on Forsberg..

hmm..

Yeah, I was gonna post that.

All the Canadian fans that are talking "bush league hits", remember that one?

I agree it was dirty and unnecessary, but don't throw rocks in glass houses, please

hmm..

Reversed though, the leading team gave the hit.

 

[Walzy]

why did Daley get that minor and not Calder ?

 

[therealdeal]

and this will prove?

It'll injure the best players on Team Sweden so it'll be harder to capture the gold.

What are we just supposed to let some 4th liner take out the best player in the tournament and screw our chances for gold and not do anything about it?

 

[MMX]

Alright boys, if they score early, its time to go head hunting, specifically after all their best players.

The way second period was played, you'll have to go after almost entire team.

 

[skullman80]

I don't think its even whats called a minor concussion. But he will probably have a sore jaw.

Crosby poked in a rebound from the left side of the net, Hannula acted like he hadn't seen the puck go in and crosschecked him. Though it clearly passed allot of time for Hannula not to notice the puck was in the net....

I see.

Well I can't pass judgement either way, I didn't see the play.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I know I will probably get flamed for saying this, but... even if I consider Hannula's hit inexcusable and braindead, Canada has collected enough dirty points over the years to receive one themselves.

So be it.

We've all seen our fair share of hits, either way. That doesn't change the fact that this was pretty hideous.

Suter on Kariya anyone?

 

[Like Wall]

Znaroks-style goal! If you are latvian, then you know what I'm talking about.
Another fight, just like in Fin - Cze game. Old school hockey's coming back. we simply need it.
Did Hannula get that penalty just because it was Crosby who got hit or because he didn't manage to return some punches back to Canadiens?

Aside from Crosby's smile and his hands up in the air, thereby opening his face up for the crosscheck?

that's not the way to go about it. if you're gonna lay a clean hit, lay a clean hit. you can't run around out there looking to hurt people, thats poor sportsmanship and downright classless.

 

[KRM]

I liked how the commentators wer like -"He should get 4 minutes for going after Hannula" and I was like -"Break his nose, make him pay for it!"

Take out? Are you watching the game?

 

[BigE]

He got the penalty because he put his stick to the kid's chin for crying out loud.

Why the - ? - ?

 

[therealdeal]

He went to the dressing room did he not? He didn't play the powerplay.

Even if he didn't fully take him out, he tried, we should do the same.

 

[Vikke]

You're obviously a homer

Get on MSN. ASAP

 

[riz]

Man... That looks concerning. Hope Crosby's ok. I think Hannula pretty much did the right thing (you can't just let a guy walk away from poking your goalie like that), but bad luck is bad luck.

Yeah, usually when someone pokechecks the puck from your goalie's feet into the net, you just give them the complimentary crosscheck to the back....not the face. And judging by the replay, he had plenty of time to aim lower if he wanted to.

 

[therealdeal]

Meh, ***-for-tat.

People are too concerned about "class" nowadays, I'd rather have the gold.

It edited out t*t, thats kinda funny.

I'm very heated right now.

 

[Vikke]

There was no power play.

No need to put him back in there for the last 30, let him rest.
So, this eye for an eye-thingy you have, is that for real?

 

[Art Vandelay]

Alright swedes and finns, VM or Melodifestivalen?

 

[MartinFr]

With 30 seconds left of the period

I'm pretty sure that the "kid" is fine.

That must be the case, eh.
