Falsly is in the Eye of the beholder and in my view the evidence is as clear as for u. In my eyes the Canadian players enhanced the Lindström "hit" and the Lias hook. One flew like mitton instead of a mansized boy and the other held the stick, subtel so the refs didnt see and fell easy.
Yes, we obviously see it differently. I'm tired to show with video links and explains why I think you are not seeing with balance. There was embellishment both ways, if anything more by Sweden. Brannstrom, Pettersson twice, Liljegren. Lindstrom's two victims would have had to defy physics to avoid falling. However we each see it, it seems crazy for anyone to say that embellishment was a story in this game.
But US clearly dived on at least one play. Im not used to Us or canadian players enhancing situations on the ice that much, thats all. Its still up to the refs to decide .
I don't know about the US. You cannot add what they might have done to what you think Canada did, they are two different teams. I doubt the US was bad based on your claim, because know Canada wasn't.
With that said i would not call the Canadian team divers but some of them enhanced the situation. That doesent mean its not a penalty, but it should go both ways. I feel Sweden was cheated of one or two penaltys . But that goes with the game. Its just different views on the calls and the non calls and no clearly right or wrong.
I do think Sweden could have had one more penalty from a missed high stick, and Timmins could have been called for one of Pettersson's embellishments. Gadjovich should not have been called on Brannstrom's embellishment. Canada lost a goal to a quick whistle on a pick Gustavsson never covered.
From all this Sweden hates Canada and the players acted very disrespectful. It just wasn't proportional. Do they want the same when they win?
Different views aint bullying but to take someting like Sweden has the most silver of all teams and make it to something bad is just silly. Im most sad about the fact we didnt get closer to Finland in the goldmedal chase not to loose against Canada. Congrats to the gold!
I've never made Silver something bad. You are mistaking me for Lias Andersson maybe? He's celebrated for for doing it!
I respect the game Sweden played greatly, and every year they are a contender to win. This year they were so skilled and determined. The final was a great game and they easily could have come out the winner. It was clear that the loss devastated them and that's rough. There should be no shame in how they did (until they were disrespectful), but there also shouldn't be so much disrespect for the team that did win.
One good thing out of this, we should never hear the story that only Canada cares about the WJC ever again! Finland sure cared when they won it and Sweden sure cares as well. Best of luck to all the teams next year, it always bring some great hockey and sometimes some memorable drama.
