The 2-2 goal should never have been called off. He was not in the crease when the shot was taken, nor when the puck was in the crease.

That ref was an absolute ******.

Was it Sindler by any chance? Sure sounds like him anyways. The guy disallowed two Latvian goals in their game against the US.

Ukraine should get BIG fines to pay after these championships :shakehead

I am surprised The Chief is the only captain who's been hard to this team of lame-ass cowards

I didn't watch the game but according to IHWC.net it was Rick Looker.

But Sindler is a joke, he was terrible in the game between Sweden and Ukraine as well.

What are you talking about? What fines?

Agree, it was a regular goal. Except putting more pressure on the Ukrainans, a 2-2 tie wouldn't mean much to the Danes since they have much worse goal diferential. Who knows, there were still more than 2 minutes left to play and with the score at 2-2 nothing is safe. Although I'm glad for the Ukrainans, I feel sorry for the Danes!

For playing lumberjacking instead of hockey.

Well..didn't they get tons of penalties? :confused:

Ukraine win 2-1

Who is the man?

They are still a disgrace to hockey everywhere. We are just lucky that there hasn't been any serious injuries due to their unsportsmanlike playing.

Usually teams with lower level of skills sub it with dirty plays...Nothing knew..

But I feel you are taking it to the extreme.. with this "disgrace of hockey everywhere".

I've seen alot of dirty plays in NHL.

Ukraine plays very dirty and they don't do any clean hits or anthing like that. They just use the sticks and put them in the face or slash and stuff like that. Its nothing like NHL

When a team captain of another team speaks up about it, there's no doubt they are a disgrace.

Which team's captain?

Finland's.

Finland's.

Jörgen Jönsson wasn't too happy about the reckless and flat out dangerous play by the Ukrainians.

They better stop before someone looses an eye! :sarcasm:

Ok..I didn't see the games, but you have to question refs. They should "police" the games.

Ukraine will now face both Canada and the US in the next round, wonder if they'll stick with their dirty play, and if that happens, how will the North Americans react to their stickwork?

Hopefully they will teach them a lesson that will be remembered the next few generations.

I am really looking forward to see guys like Souray beating the crap out of the Ukrainians :biglaugh:

at this point ,the way he's been plasying hurting souray will make him better :sarcasm:

Too bad Ukraine isn't playing the US and that the US didn't have Malone ;) pretty good sticking friend for them there :D

I've started to suspect that either Ryan Malone has a secret ukrainian passport or the ukrainians have special studied her ;)

Boy and everyone like you!

Your team lost! You are loosers! And that's all that explains your whinning.

That's a simple mythe that Ukraine plays dirty hockey. Stronger teams like Finland want weaker teams like Ukraine to surrender even before the star of the game. And when they feel resistance during the game they start whinning.

As of the final score: Ukraine is undoubtedly better team than Denmark so far and played this game on the minimum necessery level to advance to the next round. They've completed their task. Congratulations!

WTF?
Finland won against Ukraine for crying out loud.. And playing like wusses with your sticks out isn't the way to play... If they are going to play tough, they should play it by the book and not by their wooden hearts and stone hands.

If you're going to rant, at least read the entire thread and figure out where people are from. And the Ukraine plays dirty, ugly hockey and no, it is not a myth. Pretty much everybody sees it and writing incoherent, misdirected posts with alot of exclamation marks doesn't change that fact one bit.

Sorry, did not intend to offend anyone.

I recognize that in the game against Finland Ukrainnians committed to many fauls and even their coach regognized that. But I would not say that Ukraine averall is the dirtiest and ugliest team... BTW, It's difficult to play an elite style of hochey when there is only one proffesional team in your country...

P.S. To all Swedes and Finns - good luck :)

I agree... I read on Sokol page how little budget Ukrainian team has to operate! Something like $400,000 a year or less! 5 rinks in whole country doesn't help either.

Elite players are looking elsewhere... For example Vishnevsky... Born in Kharkov , don't think ever played for his country.
