Wimmins Gold Medal Game- USA/CANADA- InGame Thread

[Matty]

At first it looks like she brings the hammer down on her numbers, but from the slo-mo angle you see that her stick wasn't even close to hitting Wickenheiser.

 

[PuckOff]

loos like it at the 3 - 4 sec mark

 

[reno cool]

you're right Matty, but its still a trip then

 

[Blitty]

Why would the vid get taken down?

 

[Blitty]

So the Canadians cheated. What's new.

 

[Matty]

you're right Matty, but its still a trip then

Where? There's no contact.

 

[FairWarning]

Where? There's no contact.

If anything, she clipped the Canadian's skate. It wasn't a cross-check. Call tripping, I get that. Probably could have been awarded a penalty shot.

 

[reno cool]

looks like the Americans skate clipped the back foot causing them both to fall

 

[Matty]

Oh, I do see that now. Incidental contact.

 

[reno cool]

I don't think its incidental. She was being aggressive. Either way I don't think you can allow it especially on the breakaway. It would be like saying go head and play their feet

 

[PuckOff]

Oh, I do see that now. Incidental contact.

It's still interference.

 

[PuckOff]

I don't think its incidental. She was being aggressive. Either way I don't think you can allow it especially on the breakaway. It would be like saying go head and play their feet

Or like go ahead and knock the net off when the heat is on. Wait a minute. You're allowed to do that in the Olympics/International tourneys.

 

[reno cool]

the call that buried Russia. They might still be in it

 

[PuckOff]

It's a dumb fucking rule. They are changing it in May. Shouldn't have been in place to begin with. It's dumb. That rule allowed any goalie to knock the net off and not get a penalty.
