World Cup SF: Sep 11 GDT - Czech Republic vs. Canada

[Youreallygotme]

I hate it when the (Canadian) refs swallow their whistles. There is holding calls on Canadian D-men in every shift but the refs do nothing. Do your job refs

Man do people hate us so much that their visions are THIS clouded? Man somebody already mentioned it but have you noticed the ILLEGAL picks the czecks are putting on Canadian Defenseman? No, I guess not. You have nothing to complain about.


GO CANADA!

Who had any doubts in Luongo??

He's playing incredible

i spoke too soon

 

[Chaos]

Another NFL-worthy tackle by the Canadan defense. OT coming

 

[Alfons]

Hockey is a funny game, suddenly in the end they change the rules

 

[Cole Caulifield]

It just proves what we all knew already.... he's no Brodeur.

Indeed

 

[PecaFan]

When he went back in, puck was still in neutral zone....Thornton himself (at least) was offside...he was inside the zone and pulled the puck from neutral zone. Thats offside.

Puck carrier can precede the puck into the zone, if he has control. One of those rules few hockey fans know.

Who were the two Canadian defencemen on the 3-3 goal?

 

[Amen evil king]

Was Elias' goal really only 6 seconds after Drapers? Holy hell thats quick.

 

[H/H]

Heh, I guess nobody is doubting what nationality the refs are.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

overtime. Last time I saw Luongo in ot Dykhuis scored on a wristshot from outside the blueline.

 

[Anthony*]

incredible game

 

[Zine]

Wow, what a game.

I think the CANADIAN referees have clouded visons, and perhaps some fans also

 

[usmhuskies]

What a game!!! So this is what hockey is like: haven't seen a game with this much intensity in a long time...

 

[Teezax]

I can't take this, i'm about to have a heart attack.
I must have smoked a whole cigarette factory tonight.
Luongo is making key saves, but also allowing some crap passed him.
That Elias goal should have never went in.
C'mon Canada, i can't take another '98.
Time for Mr. Clutch Joe Sakic to come in for us in OT.

 

[Bloody Sabbath]

How can anyone prefer baseball to this?

they actually aren't illegal. Have you not noticed Burke keep pointing that out.

 

[Shane]

I want a shoot-out.

 

[Riddarn]

Wow. This is great hockey!

I was rooting for the Canadians when the game started but now, Holy super-biased home-ice refs, Batman! The Canadians get away with murder EVERY shift. The Czechs should have had multiple powerplays just before the Draper goal. Booo!

Yeah I have seen these situations often and I really dont know how the refs draw the line about being in control. I've seen similar situations called offside often, but of course I have seen it go this way too. Not a biggie really, just an observation.

 

[Morbo]

Czechs have been the better team.

 

[Trottier]

This game has "classic" written all over it.

This is the ultimate "public relations" for NHL players to win fans over to their side in the ongoing CBA fight - their ability to put on the best sports entertainment in the world.

***

Sorry, but anyone who would dwell on the officiating in a game as great as this ought to get a clue!!!! Just my opinion.

Now now, lets not turn this into a flame war.....

 

[Fish on The Sand]

you could watch game 7 of the 01 world series and say the same thing about hockey my friend.

What are you talking about? No one hates you, you're Canada!

It's a socialistic game. One guy gets a PP, you gotta even it up. It is Canadian, after all.
