Women's hockey GDT: Canada vs Finland

Let the games begin :handclap:

Lets go Canada. :)

Woooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Game on! :handclap:

Uhhhhhh.......that was a penalty? It looks like the FIN player skated into the boards on her own and fell down.

GO CANADA GO!!!

GO CANADA GO :handclap:

2 miracles on one day are not likley. I consider the finns better than sweden offensivley, but they dont have a Kim Martin :bow:

Go Finland!!!

whats the score?
how much time left?

0-0 so far. Canada has got to shoot the puck. Too many passes.

I want Canada to win gold and all, but it would be cool to see another upset and a Sweden-Finland final.

Simply put, they need to allow the women to bodycheck.

I'm gonna have to root for Finland, partly because they are the underdogs, but mostly because we might get the gold then! And yeah, minus the goaltending, Finland probably better than Sweden. At least from what I've seen. :handclap:

Simply put, they need to allow the women to bodycheck.

Agree! there are lot of contact that is borderline checks anyway.. and I don't see why it'd hurt them to check. They are not made of glass.

The interference call on Finland was probably one of the worst calls I have seen in my life watching hockey.

I'm not to sure on women's rules, but she looks at the puck coming near her, swipes at it to clear it out of the zone and misses, gets completely smoked by a Canadian player, gets 2 minutes in the box.

Do they think that tie breaking is about the number of passes they make? geez.. shoot the puck!

I agree. The same thing happened to Chris Pronger in the Germany game.

Is it a mirage, or are the canadian players larger than the finnish?

What's with all of these chintzy ******** calls? Who do these guys think they are, NHL refs?

YAY 1-0 CANADA :handclap:

what a boring game so far....

Helluva goal.

Weatherston is allowed to come out from behind the net, and wires one over the Finnish goalie's shoulder. 1-0 Canada.

In a checking game the Canadians would have an even greater advantage.

2-0 :handclap:

Saarinen with a clean bodycheck on the Canadian girl, but you can't do that in women's hockey, and Apps deflects one in on the powerplay.

2-0 Canada.

I love this board....updates are so much faster than all the media blogs and live scoring websites out there.

Let them play! Let them play!

Finns stayed with them really well through the first 15 minutes. 4 strong Canadian lines are wearing on them now.

Sweden was down 2-0 after one period as well. :sarcasm:

Let them play! Let them play!

I agree, even for a "no-bodychecking" game I think that was a very chintzy penalty on the Finnish forward. They called it interference but the puck was right there. :dunno:

I can't resist asking it.

Earlier I saw Holst, Martin and Rooth from Team Sweden...2 of them were fugly, with manly haircuts and such...Martin was ok.

Now I see a few of the girls in this game and errrr.......

Well....let's be straight to the point and offend rather than hold back....

Would these girls be offended if you'd call them lesbians?

They're there to play hockey, not to look hot or whatever it is that you're expecting from them. I'm sure they don't really care either way.

Is it Intermission?
I need an update

^^^ 2-0 Canada, both goals on the PP

I can't resist asking it.

I agree, women hockey players certainly aren't the pinnacles of human beauty that male players such as Ricci, Chelios and Bertuzzi are.

I would say they would be offended. Even if some of them are lesbians, they probably would think it was none of our business and has nothing to do with hockey.

Would the guys be offended if you called one of them gay? Anyways, how about talking about hockey now. How's the game been? Pathfinder said Finland looked good for the first 15. So is it safe to assume that Canada looks fairly dominate?

And they would be right.


Go CANADA!!!!! W00T!

Women Hockey is so disapointing(as they left you always wanting more)....they look akward skating, they look like they will fall each second.......

Btw, do they have the right to hit? So many times there could have been highlights hits, huge hits in middle of the ice.......yet they do nothing :(

Wow......a penalty for looking like hockey (Canada).....a physical aspect....I know in Olympics (even men) there aren,t as many hits....but still, Olympics refs should let loose.

Yes. A lot looks like 5-5 PP for the Canuckettes. Finland has trouble getting speed out of their own zone. Wickenheisser had a slapper in the cross bar. Canadian PK now.

muh and on that last shift, they looked awsome skating......... must have been the best players of Canada ont hat shift

Nice! Finland wanting to fight :D That's a team!

3-0 CANADA, PP Goal :handclap:

well that should about do it one would think

4-0 Canada :handclap:

4-0 Canada on the PP goal.

This Finnish goalie has played very well though.

Finnish team is looking more tired now. Not getting many chances this period.

You'd think the third period would be a formality. Hopefully, our girls don't think that way.

Looks like a few of these girls want to drop the gloves :D

GO CANADA!!

4-0 so far. Keep it up Canada! :yo:

Looks like a few of these girls want to drop the gloves :D

I wouldn't be surprised if they'd want to drop it against the ref. The officiating has been downright terrible. Regardless of that, Canada does dominate the game and would most likely walk away with a clear victory.

It has been a horribly reffed game. How am I not surprised that the ref is from the States? This ref reminds me of a certain one that reffed the 2002 gold medal game.

I can't resist asking it.

would u be offended if someone called u a ******* ****** ***** **********?? :p:

I agree. But I see it going against both teams.

Not liking the ref'ing either, but theres been bad calls against both sides it just so happens Canada has taken advantage of them while the Fin's haven't.

Wow who cares what they look like :shakehead

Wow who cares what they look like :shakehead
I admit to caring, and noticing what each and every girl I see looks like. Their persuasion on the other hand is none of my business.

Has the 3rd started yet?

Has the 3rd started yet?

Yes.

7 minutes into the 3rd it's still 4-0 Canada. Canada dominating.

5-0

5-0
:yo:

There they go, running up the score again. :)

Interesting stat, Canada has not given up an even strength goal since Worlds in 2004

There they go, running up the score again. :)

But you know.. it's terrible hockey when one team is playing down to the competition so as not to run up the score.

wow what a ******** penalty on the finnish girl for holding :shakehead

6-0

kim needs to stand on her head once again if it is even going to be close.

Oh man, not the kind of game I was hoping for :shakehead

kim needs to stand on her head once again if it is even going to be close.

She'll have to work, that's for sure.

Well.. thats that

Excellent effort from Finland :handclap:

Actually, Cassie Campbell is pretty hot.

Like the numbers show, Canada was by far the superior team. They beat us in speed, skill and finishing. Hard to tell how good their defensing or goaltending is as those simply didn't get tested well enough. Their offense is lightyears ahead of everyone else from what I've seen.

Angela Ruggiro is pretty attractive. I saw a picture of her in sports illustrated and was surprised I had never noticed her before.
