in the bronze medal game, USA was up 3-2 going into the 3rd period.
Chechia pumped in six to win 8-4

in gold medal game...
caution 1st,, Canada picks up some momentum in the 2nd (1-0 Canada)
and running into some penalty trouble here in the third.

some fin just high-sticked himself in the face, refs fell for it and gave them a 5 on 3
of course Finland ties it up on the powerplay.
Chris Dreidger hurt on the play as well, so now we have a cold third string goalie in to face 1:50 of a Finnish powerplay.

what a clusterfuck due to a horrendous call. jesus.


update.. fins score on the rest of that powerplay, so now leading 2-1
just fucking brutal. 14 minutes left.

 

[puckhead]

omfg, canada scores with 2 min left to bring it to 3-2.
the net got bumped into prior to the goal, but landed back on the peg.
also, the finish buy knocked it off anyway.

refs called it a goal, then announced no goal due to review.
then said my mistake, good goal, but we are going to review
but if Finland challenged and lost, it should be a FInnish penalty.
which of course didn't happen




so, 5 on 5. goalie pulled.
CANAGA FUCKING SCORES ANYWAY!!!!!!!
!


TIE GAME 1 minute left. jesus christ.

You know, after what happened to the Flames a few days ago and what's happening today in the gold medal game, heads need to roll for the sheer incompetence of referees, officials etc.

It would be great if Max Comtois could score the gold medal winning goal after all the abuse he took at the World Juniors a few years ago.

Marcus Ericsson just won the Indianapolis 500.

Marcus Ericsson just won the Indianapolis 500.

How has the Indy 500 become such a minor sporting event? It used to be such a big deal.

 

[puckhead]

the ref 10 feet away didn't call it, btw.
it was that fucking idiot at center ice.
why they didn't have a chat about it, i have no idea.

so now we are going into 3 on 3 with a 3rd string goalie.
grind it out boys

Would also be great if Sillinger got it after that BS call.

 

[puckhead]

here's the call that turned the game.
and the ref 10 feet away that didn't call it

Marcus Ericsson just won the Indianapolis 500.

Was hoping for Pato O'Ward to make it a Mexican driver sweep in the big races of the day.

But very happy for Ericsson, nonetheless.

Ah fuck off refs!

 

[dash]

They can't even get a call right, it was a trip if anything, not a hook.

 

[dash]

Of course. Such garbage.

 

[mooger_35]

Softest call ever in OT

 

[puckhead]

They can't even get a call right, it was a trip if anything, not a hook.

and a fucking dive.

 

[dash]

Softest call ever in OT

I mean, the Canadian player was immediately tripped by the Finn, both guys could have been sent off.

At times I wonder why I invest so much time watching this sport when you have idiots officiating and incompetents in the review room.
