I'll tell you why it happens. People don't boo referees because they are bad even if they are bad, peoples are bad too and it's hard to blame referee for being bad when you are bad. People boo referees because they are from another country or nationality while people aren't. That's what separate them and it's the thing that can be booed. IMHO.

I've read this about 5 times and I still don't get it.

There are good and bad refs. Nationality has very little to do with what makes it so.

Vice versa,man, vice versa :D

Yeah, but you guys have no reason to hate us :shakehead

Though I do feel more akin to Russians than I do to Canadians or anyone else in these tournaments for that matter, so thats why I root for Russia (like how Americans root for Canada after they get eliminated ;) )

Hockey is the ONLY major sport where a referee is allowed to judge a game of his own country in major tournaments. The ONLY sport. This is just wrong.

What are you whining about? The ref is American and the game is between Russia and Canada. :dunno:

I just heard that the Swedish ref (Vinnerborg) was initially scheduled to call this gold medal game, but after a petition from Team Canada, the referee has been changed to Thull (USA).

Source?

Besides, it's an American ref, not a Canadian one.

Who cares.

He said that they decided not to go with the Swedish ref but he didn't say why. Without a link or a realiable source no one should take what you said seriously.

Buddy, im not begging for your approval and I am definetely don't care if you take me seriously or not.

This is what I heard, the source chose to remain anonymous. If you don't want to believe it, then don't. Simple as that. I just thought I'd share what I know.

:biglaugh:

What a pointless piece of information.

Anyway, if you're so desperate for a tailor-made excuse if the Russians lose, just say so.

Blame the ref.

Hopefully someone that doesn't support headhunting and penalizes the european style of play.

Yes, you're a genius, you caught me right in my evil web of lies. Don't be a moron. If the Russians lose, my concern is the team losing, not harassment by a group of message board teenagers.

How does Euro hockey get penalized? If anything Euro's play such un-agressive hockey that the only penalties are stick infractions. That's a joke. I hope someone goes out and puches somebody else in the mouth to get this thing started tonite.

Apparently your concern isn't with the team losing, but the officiating.

I guess the rest of us care more about the performance of the players on the ice.

You may be right but just to tell you that I don't think anyone can take what you said seriously because you do not have any proof.
