The Official Olympic Hockey Thread

[DropEmJayBird]

This is why people stop watching hockey after the olympics.

The biggest stage, and we have canadian mentality officiating of "make up" calls and ****. Nobody understands the rules because they get applied base on score instead of the actual rules.

I wasn't paying, looked over, and there was a breakaway...f

[Faubert5]

We're not getting our money's worth on these calls.

[shafnutz05]

Cannot believe our player didn't put the puck on net there....jesus. Such a stupid stupid decision

[mac5155]

call the dive!!

[DropEmJayBird]

maybe someone will hit the goalie with their stick as they are shooting so we can get a make up call.

Not even a participation medal for the ref here I'm afraid.

[dodint]

What a load. The Canadian dove, glad no shot.

[llipgh2]

The officiating in all the women's games has just been abysmal.

[mac5155]

how does it magically become 5 on 3?

[shafnutz05]

lolololololololol

[Dickie Dunn]

Horrific.

[tfrizz]

What a load. The Canadian dove, glad no shot.

Not exactly a dive. It was more of a "she tripped over her own feet" scenario. Basically, her foot hit the US player's leg and she tripped.

I didn't understand what was happening, but it doesn't really matter.

[Humperdink]

Well, that stinks.

The prevent defense at the end of regulation does it every time.

[mac5155]

man talk about a PP.

[DelPen]

can't have less than 3 players on the ice at a time.

[tifosi77]

That was some intensely pungent bullsh|t.

[PghSkins]

Hosed. Hard.

[DropEmJayBird]

tainted medal...

officiating was piss poor.

That "make up call" was absolute ****. No reason to make it up.

**** Canada and their maple leaf officials.

[tifosi77]

This is why the US Women's hockey team needs a hockey coach. Not a "women's hockey coach". Canada is coached by Kevin Dineen, for crying out loud.

I don't see any difference between the two.

I think a hockey coach would be more agressive in the third, and have his team play to win, not to play not to lose. That's how the US looked to me in the third.

I think he meant that Kevin Dineen is a girl.

[shafnutz05]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Men's team just took the red eye home from Sochi after watching that deflating chokejob.

[count2infinity]

think they'll celebrate with beers and cigars again?

[SolidSnake]

I just hope tomorrow team USA whoops on Canada because Weber will have a good goalie to shot on not unknowns from other leagues

[DelPen]

Well, that stinks.

The prevent defense at the end of regulation does it every time.

Prevent defense was fine. It's just the stupid way these women play hockey. Sorry ladies, but a state champion boys high school team would destroy either of these teams even without checking.
