jkrdevil Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Right now the Swiss are up 2-0 in the second. I'm rooting for the Swiss to win but the officiating as been ticky tack at best and horrific at worse. Doan got called for what I thought was a clean hit and never would have been called in the NHL. Same thing with Foote where he got called for a hard hit. It's just awful. Let the players play.Gerber is playing amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Nash scored. That was a goal. Still 2-0 Swiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Give the Swiss credit, folks. They are outplaying the mighty Canadians.It also helped that the Doan shot was discounted just recently (Rioting will begin up north in 3... 2... 1...)

NJTank Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 They may be outplaying Canada but the refs are really screwing the Canadians over. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Looks like Canada is coming dangerously close to dropping to 3rd in the Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well top 4 qualify so its not that bad if this came in teh eleimination round then it would matter. Yeah, there's no chance of them dropping out of contention, but the seeding could put them in a tough game early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Gerber is playing extremely well ? goaltending has to be the strong suit for the Swiss with Gerber and Aebischer ? and the refs certainly aren't helping Canada's cause, but I think the most frustrating thing for me watching this game is just Canada's sloppiness and sluggish play. I swear, it looks like they just got off the plane from Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Canada loses!The Swiss played solid defense all 3rd period. A well-earned victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 wow, what a bizzare finish. So many penalties in the last couple of minutes. First Czech, now Canada. Amazing. Not as big as Belarus against Sweden in 2002, but this will give the Swiss program a big boost. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 I don't think the refs are to blame for Canada's loss. Gerber was outstanding. Yes the refs called the too close but Canada had a ton of power plays too. Especially late in the game when they played undisciplined and cancelled those chances by committing penalties that would have been called in the NHL.Congrats to the Swiss. They pulled off upset of the tournament for the second day in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinirox1 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 How do you think DiPietro feels right now? That was one of the biggest upsets I've ever watched, and to top it off, some of the Swiss fans were wearing cow suits!

Jigga Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Guess our 3-3 tie with Latvia doesn't look THAT bad anymore...That said, I wouldn't even sweat it, look at it as a regular season loss.EDIT: Nevermind! Since the US lost to Slovakia 2-1...please strike from the record. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

Adam Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Tough loss but the Canadians didn't exactly play up to the level they can play at. Yes the Nash goal was in, but it was inconclusive. But these players have the talent to push pass those things. Using that non goal as a reason for losing is just an excuse it would've only made it 2-1. We'll just have to bounce back and try to take out the Finns tomorrow (who are playing much better than I thought they would!)We'll still make it to the medal round and then we'll be serious.GO CANADA GO!

BCBoy Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The Swiss really earned this victory over the Canadians. Give a lot of credit to Gerber who stood on his head and made some amazing saves (even though one of them appeared to be in) but I'm not gonna complain about that call because it was incunclusive (sp?) Anyways, hopefully this loss will but some fire in the pants of the Canadians because the Finnish are a great/underrated team and they play eachother tomorrow.
