kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Why does every loss always have to be about the refs? Isn't it possible that the better team won, despite the fact that the better team wasn't the one you wanted?

Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) 1 Hockey GOLD down... 1 to go... PS. That's karma for the cocky comments in the final minute of regulation. It aint over till its over. I don't really watch Woman's hockey but I happened to turn this on partway through overtime. That victory isn't much to be proud of, those were two garbage calls that gifted Canada the gold. Don't care how the rest of the game went. Edit: sorry if that came off like I was angry and confrontational lol. I'm not. I don't care so much about the woman's hockey tourney.

RedWang 422 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 I heard they were up by two with 3 mins to go in the game. And they lost in OT. They kindof deserved to lose, they choked hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Because Canada was on a 5 on 3 because of two of the worst penalty calls ever. So yes the ref literally ruined this game. Now I agree we shouldn't of been in this spot up 2-0 like we were... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stillwater 186 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 There certainly were questionable calls, on both sides. The slashing call in overtime was something the ref warned the US of earlier. You missed that if you just tuned in for overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't watch so I don't blame you for not seeing the horrendous calls in OT. The GWG came on a 5-3 in OT. Gotta give credit the nucks for coming back in the third. I can't say much about OT. Although, USA had the opportunity to bang a few home in the first minute of OT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't the refs (imo) who changed the outcome, it was Zapdos (as I call her) who saved the game several times all day long. I can only hope tomorrow is half as entertaining.

AtlantaHotWings 992 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 I heard they were up by two with 3 mins to go in the game. And they lost in OT. They kindof deserved to lose, they choked hard. That's because the US team wanted to emulate their favorite NHL team the Detroit Red Wings. Thus following the Wings practice of getting tied in third up by 2 and to OT and lose there vs. going to shootout... 1 RedWang reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 How was that slashing on Lamoureux again? Things seem to have went south for the US from that point on. Oh well, hopefully the men can get the job done tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Everyone complaining about the refs needs to stop. The US was up 2 with under 3 minutes left. They lost because they couldn't hold a lead.

I could care less about womens hockey, i'll keep my views on that to myself. But if ud been watching the OT, the officiating was easily the worst ive ever seen. 2 absolutely bogus calls in a row. A netfront battle for a loose puck called as a slash and an obvious penalty shot that was called a crosscheck. Doesnt take away the gold though! Congrats ladies!

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 Came home and Canada were down 2-0 with 5 to go, went to shovel, came back in and saw OT. What a game! Womens hockey isn't so bad when it's US/CAN. Hope for a game like today tomorrow during the mens semis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
