I can’t say I saw the game, but from what I read it sounds like total BS. I think it’s definitely a pretty fair beef to have it you see a ref signal icing to then assume the play will soon be dead. I know I saw at least once in Canada’s games the refs call icing even with the dumping team having a step at the line and it still getting called. Can’t pick and choose when things are no touch.

While I don’t watch a lot of this tournament, that did seem ridiculous, Lehner had a great point.

On a mostly unrelated note, his comment about Canada reminds me, I think things do favour Canada administratively anyway.

I mean why did Russia have to play the early quarterfinal on Sunday night, and then the early semifinal on Monday afternoon? While Canada plays early on Sunday, and then late on Monday? It just seems totally unfair. Even if the timings were preset, based on group seedings, it just seems like a ridiculous setup. At worst it was blatant favouring Canada and/or ratings, and at best it is just incompetent administration.

Good on Russia for coming through anyway though, especially the come back against Finland.

I mean, I really like this Lehner kid. Big, tough, no bullshit kinda guy. Good on him.

Is it waived off? Or waved off?

I always thought it was waved, as the ref waves his arms to call off a previous call, but now I’m not so sure

I joined this site as a member, so I feel that it is my right to say that the layout sucks, the content sucks and I would do everything differently, so if you don’t change the entire way of doing things, then this complaint will have fallen on deaf ears.

Dick move or constructive criticism?

Obviously a dick move, but until one of your readers points this out, you should probably assume that this is how the entire membership feels.

Amirite?

Might have cost them the game; some of the goals allowed by his counterpart were pretty weak.
