GDT: Canada vs. Switzerland - Feb. 18, 9:30 AM EST

Canada tries to remain unbeaten in the tournament and Switzerland tries to improve on their 1-1 record.

The game will be shown on CBC in Canada.

I'm thinking the score will be 4-1 or 3-1 Canada.

Bumpity bump.

Jeez. Italy, Germany, now Switzerland?? This weak schedule isn't going to help Canada once they play against top notch teams like Russia, Slovakia,Sweden or Finald.

Don't worry, they play Finland and the Czechs in the round robin.

I think Canada knows not to take Russia, Slovakia, Sweden and Finland lightly.

This schedule is a blessing to Canada since they can get warmed up for those later games.

That's a good point. However, over-confidence could become an issue. Not facing adversity until the round robin could be a huge problem for Team Canada.

We're talking about seasoned professionals here; many of whom are the captains on their own NHL clubs.

The calibre of opponents is steadily improving which gives these guys a chance to adjust to the larger rink and playing with each other, minus the intensity that you'd see playing against the Czechs or Russians right off the bat.

This game should be a good test for the Canucks and if Aeby plays as well as he did the other day the Canadians must be on-point.

5-1 Canada. Can't wait for the game on Saturday.

Canada either crushes Switzerland 6-0, or Switzerland gives 150% and it's a close game, maybe 3-1 or 3-2 Canada.

anyone got the team canada picture that they posed for before practice

This schedule is a blessing to Canada since they can get warmed up for those later games.

Thats a big suprise... ;)

This game should be a good test for the Canucks and if Aeby plays as well as he did the other day the Canadians must be on-point.Sorry if I missed this elsewhere, but has it been officially announced that Aebischer will start tomorrow? With the back-to-back games coming up and the different strategies that could be employed in starting a particular goaltender against a particular team, it's at least an interesting decision.

Hope the Suisse team that showed up against the Czechs returns to face the Canadians tomorrow. If so, it should be a really good game.

4-0 Canada!!1

Don't expect the Swiss to come out and roll over just because they've pulled off one upset already. Aebischer knows the Canadian players well and will be bombarded but shouldn't be overwhelmed.

Do I expect Switzerland to do the impossible? No. But I expect them to play hard and stick close until the end--the fact of the matter is that they don't have the firepower to win this game.

6-2 Canada.

This schedule is a blessing to Canada since they can get warmed up for those later games.


Thats a big suprise... ;)

lol...Yeah..its quite surprising that last years gold medal winner gets to play the not so good teams first. Similar situation with U.S playing Latvia and Kazakhistan first, since they were last years silver medal winners.

Hopefully you were just kidding...but if not...just want to remind you...its not a matter of favoritism here...The same occured in 2002 as well..Czech's and Russia got to play the crappier teams first...Canada finished in 4th place in 1998..hence they played Sweden in the first round in 2002...
Therefore Canada earned its current lineup of teams.

Canada: 5
Switzerland: 1

My prediction

I predict a hat trick for Sakic.

I predict Jumbo Joe Thornton slaps 4 goals past Aebs.

Thats a big suprise... ;)

That's the way seedings work...

Despite what some people are saying, Canada's schedule is a good thing. Seeing how they had basically zero practice time before their first game, I'm glad they got a chance to get warmed up.

Anyway, I predict a 5-1 Canada victory.

Canadian goals by Nash, Heatley, St-Louis, and two for Bertuzzi (hes been playing so damn well!).

Swiss goal by.....I dunno.....either Streit, Gerber or Aebischer.

Let's not get to excited and hope for the best to come! go Canada go!!!

As much as I'd like to see another great game for our Swiss boys, I don't think they'll give everything they have to challenge Canada. Points against Canada would be historic, but even if Switzerland plays at the top of its game, Canada is the clear favorite. And the most important point: Switzerland wants to reach the quarter final, and for that they don't need points from Canada, but from Germany and Italy. A good game against Canada would be meaningless if they have no energy left for those two crucial games. That's also why I expect Gerber to play. We need another stellar performance or two by a rested Abby. Not that Gerber's a bad goalie, but Abby is clearly on fire :madfire: ;)

So, expect the Swiss to wave the symbolic white flagg as soon as they are behind two or three goals :) I hope the Canadiens don't get too much in a frenzy after that :D

Canadian goals by Nash, Heatley, St-Louis, and two for Bertuzzi (hes been playing so damn well!).

Given the way Bertuzzi has been coasting for the Canucks for most of this season thus far, he should be well-rested.

3-1 Canada

Time for Switzerland to build on what they have already started. 2-1 Switzerland, 2-2 if Iginla scores!

(well i'm allowed to go for the Swiss, even if they got no chance)

Go Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go Swiss!!!

damn it, what NOS channel is this game on??? it's nowhere to be seen!!!!!!!

It's time for another upset! Go Suisse! :handclap:

Let's go Swiss!!!

Let's go Swiss!!!

you know that we need Canada now - you know that right ?!?

18-0

oh wait this is men's hockey so 5-2

Anyone know if I can listen the game on the internet, sound and image or juste the sound...i don't mind

Gerber is in net.

you know that we need Canada now - you know that right ?!?

Yes, I realize that... but I wouldn't mind seeing an upset too...

any online video stream? it's not on NOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know if I can listen the game on the internet, sound and image or juste the sound...i don't mind

from what i understand the IOC doesn't allow online streaming

Entertaining! thats how a PP has to be played

Bertuzzi to the box ... surprise surprise

from what i understand the IOC doesn't allow online streaming
:cry:

ps my 500th post is a sad one

Swiss are playing tough right now and Gerber has made some saves.

Entertaining! thats how a PP has to be played

Bertuzzi to the box ... surprise surprise

OH NOES! He must of killed an old lady while eating a baby!!11!:shakehead

Anybody know if YLE or SVT will show this game? :dunno:

great game so far ... fun to watch

Bertuzzi is eating little babys ?!? interesting ;)

Swiss are playing tough right now and Gerber has made some saves.It won't matter one bit if they keep taking penalties like this.

that's two more penalties that Smyth has drawn. jebus.

from what i understand the IOC doesn't allow online streaming

Yes, they do. German national TV streams everything (here (http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/inhalt/15/0,4070,3893679-5,00.html)), Swiss national TV only occasionaly. I'll post the URL if they set up streaming before the end of the game.

Entertaining game so far.

It won't matter one bit if they keep taking penalties like this.

Probably, but at least they will keep the score close, even if they are getting dominated in terms of time in the offensive zone.

Time to tune up the PP put McCabe and Redden as the number one pair and see what they can do.

This has got to be one of the most amazing penalty killing efforts we've ever seen. Of the first 15 minutes or so of this game, how many minutes have the Swiss spent shorthanded? I don't know how their legs aren't falling off already. :eek:

Pronger calling card the long pass. he's the best.

Yes, they do. German national TV streams everything (here (http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/inhalt/15/0,4070,3893679-5,00.html)), Swiss national TV only occasionaly. I'll post the URL if they set up streaming before the end of the game.

:yo:

:yo:

Is it just me or are the Germans showing the skiing???

1-0! Swiss!

Who the heck is 28? Get a grip.

Scooooooooooooooooore!

Paul Di Pietro!

1-0 Swiss :eek:

1-0 SWISS !!! unbelievable .. what a great hockey game .. did you get THIS ???

1-0 Swiss. Whoa.

And now we'll literally see the Swiss team make a human wall around their net.

Oh Yeah!

Paul DiPietro? didn't he used to play for the habs

1-0! Swiss!This is one of the most incredible periods of the tournament. The Swiss have almost literally spent the entire first period shorthanded, they've had basically no shots on goal to speak of, and now they get one and it's in for a lead. Amazing.

Clap your hands Clap your hands, come one everybody Clap your hands
Clap your hands oh Clap your hands, have a wonderful time

Celebrate lets Celebrate, everyone lets Celebrate, Celebrate lets Celebrate coz SWITZERLAND IS WINNING 1-0 (Switzerland winning gold...wouldn't that be a 'Miracle on Ice')

1-0 Swiss.
Some nice handling behind the net there.
The Swiss PK is all kinds of good.

Bench Thornton and Nash for the next period. They were useless in the first.

EDIT---Canada flat out sucked in that period. They better pick up their play.

Dream period for the Swiss.
Hope they can keep it up.

I missed the goal. I was outside getting the newspaper.

Did Brodeur mess up? Or was it just a great goal?

what is happening in the hockey world :eek:

gotta love that trap, lol

Paul DiPietro? didn't he used to play for the habs
Yup. Scored two goals in game 5 of the 1993 finals.

I missed the goal. I was outside getting the newspaper.

Did Brodeur mess up? Or was it just a great goal?

not broudeurs fault, good play by swiss behind the net to pass it infront.

The Swiss can thank their goaltending so far in this game. Gerber has been solid.

Yup. Scored two goals in game 5 of the 1993 finals.

with a name like Dipietro he should be playing for Italy

Dream period for the Swiss.


Dream tournament so far!

with a name like Dipietro he should be playing for Italy

If only it worked like that, the Italians would have a dangerous team...

Off the top of my head, DiPietro, Amonte, Bertuzzi, Lombardi

You know, not as an excuse but losing this game just might be a great thing to happen to Canada. I obviously hate losing and I know Canada is perfectly capable of winning every game, but the loss to Sweden in Salt Lake was our wake-up call... maybe this can be our second wake-up call.

I'm glad the boys are facing adversity. It can only prepare them. :handclap: The Swiss's penchant for penalties so far will catch up to them.

GO CANADA!

with a name like Dipietro he should be playing for Italy
Or the us ;)

Who the heck is 28? Get a grip.


That's Martin Plüss,

he play's in Sweden...

YLE doesn't do the streams anymore?
NOS doesn't have it...
Can someone post the SVT stream link?

Any others?

I missed the goal. I was outside getting the newspaper.

Did Brodeur mess up? Or was it just a great goal?


If Brodeur was a butterfly goalie and not a 90's goalie, he would have stopped that.

Did Brodeur mess up? Or was it just a great goal?

Nice play by the Swiss along with bad coverage by Canada. Regher left his man open and he one timed one by Brodeur.

Who the heck is 28? Get a grip.

28 of team switzerland is martin plüss from frölunda in sweden.

If only it worked like that, the Italians would have a dangerous team...

Off the top of my head, DiPietro, Amonte, Bertuzzi, Lombardi

isn't the italian team mostly made of canadians who have italian heritage?

Loungo i am pretty sure is an italian name as well.

That's Martin Plüss,

he play's in Sweden...

No the 28 on Team Canada, he completely blew the coverage. He looks a little slow afoot on the big ice.

No the 28 on Team Canada, he completely blew the coverage. He looks a little slow afoot on the big ice.

That'd be Regher.

That'd be Regher.

Thanks the MSNBC commentator rarely calls out the names of players.

If Brodeur was a butterfly goalie and not a 90's goalie, he would have stopped that.

My thoughts exactly. Bad goal let in by Brodeur.

The Swiss can thank their goaltending so far in this game. Gerber has been solid.

The Swiss ARE their goaltending. Without Gerber/Abiesher, they're like Swedish women without Kim Martin...

isn't the italian team mostly made of canadians who have italian heritage?

Loungo i am pretty sure is an italian name as well.

It seems like that the way the Italian teams work... I mean on their World Baseball team they have Mike Piazzi, Frank Menechino and Frank Catallano.

I think you should have to speak one of the country's languages in order to able to play for a national team.

No the 28 on Team Canada, he completely blew the coverage. He looks a little slow afoot on the big ice.

That was Robin Regehr. He should have stayed out front when Thornton went back. Foote his partner was covering the other side.

The problem this game isn't the d-men, it's the forwards hanging on to the the puck far too long. The swiss are skating fast and hard and I haven't seen any quick passing from Canada to counter that. Watching the power play, the Canadian forwards are holding the puck down in the corners and haven't utilized the d-men who for the most part have been left alone at the point.

Paul DiPietro? didn't he used to play for the habs
Yes

My thoughts exactly. Bad goal let in by Brodeur.
I dont' really think that goal was that bad. DiPeitro took a very quick shot.

isn't the italian team mostly made of canadians who have italian heritage?

Loungo i am pretty sure is an italian name as well.
Luongo's father is from Naples and his Italian relatives (uncle and three cousins) have come to watch him play.

Doesn't help when Thornton tries to force it through center and turns it over, lands on his ***, blocks Gagne's path back, leaving a 4-on-2 with everyone coming late.

I am not sure how many different places Regehr can be at once, but I am pretty sure it's less than two. Not making excuses for the man he chose to cover, but Thornton kind of left everyone out to dry on that one...

If only it worked like that, the Italians would have a dangerous team...

Off the top of my head, DiPietro, Amonte, Bertuzzi, Lombardi
Luongo, Carbonno...heu Carbonneau

The Swiss ARE their goaltending. Without Gerber/Abiesher, they're like Swedish women without Kim Martin...

I wouldn't say that, there PK looks great. Although i think if those guys have to go on the PK alot again in the second they will tire out by the third period.

Hmmm, who messed up on that goal. Actually to be fair it was largely Bert's fault, but another missed coverage by you know who. The commentator goes, "and 2 forwards went after the puck carrier" (or something like that) then he switched it to 1 Dman and 1 forward, but I thought he was more accurate the first time.
???
Bertuzzi wasn't on the ice, was he?
Thornton was chasing behind the net, Gagne out front...Bert doesn't usually play with those guys, so I think you're mistaken.
Thornton was the main culprit on the goal...the commentators implied that Regehr was out of position, but he had to go after the guy who slipped by Thornton.

That goal wasn't completely Brodeur's fault, I have seen on the replays.

However, Brodeur isn't exactly playing like a World Class goaltender in this tournament either.

Brodeur has shown some cracks against both Switzerland and Italy. I am wondering how he will hold up when Canada starts playing really tough teams?

Brodeur wasn't square at all on this shot.....But, as a lot of people think out there...'' Nobody else would have stopped this shot ! I mean, Brodeur has won three stanley cups and led the league in goal against average!.....

LUONGO !!!!!!!!!!!!

3 of 4 goals against Canada scored by Canadians!
Italy - Jason Cirone, Toronto.
Italy - John Parco, Sault Ste. Marie.
Suisse - Paul DiPietro, Sault Ste. Marie or Sudbury.

Also, the Italian goalie, Jason Muzzati is from Toronto.

isn't the italian team mostly made of canadians who have italian heritage?

Loungo i am pretty sure is an italian name as well.

Correct, but mostly due to the relocated Italians...Modano is another one

Of note, it is the first goal Canada has given up in the tourney that McCabe was not on the ice for.
:D

Gotta break down the neutral zone trap with effective line to line passes... if they can't, it looks like it'll be a long day for Team Canada.

More Rick Nash hype from Jim Hughson...."Nash was the best player at the World Championships".

That is why Thornton won the MVP right?

Nash is over-rated. And this tournament thus far has shown it. He has been the worst forward on Team Canada other than Draper thus far at this tournament, and Draper wasn't even expected to be that good (he was only taken as a specialist).

Brodeur wasn't square at all on this shot.....But, as a lot of people think out there...'' Nobody else would have stopped this shot ! I mean, Brodeur has won three stanley cups and led the league in goal against average!.....

LUONGO !!!!!!!!!!!!
He had to respect the possibility that the puck would come out the other side of the net. Hard to get completely square on a one-timer started from behind the net. It was a nice play/shot off the post.

More Rick Nash hype from Jim Hughson...."Nash was the best player at the World Championships".

That is why Thornton won the MVP right?

Nash is over-rated. And this tournament thus far has shown it. He has been the worst forward on Team Canada other than Draper thus far at this tournament, and Draper wasn't even expected to be that good (he was only taken as a specialist).

Correct. Draper's only job in this tournament is to be a backpack on the Kovalchuks and Forsbergs out there.

Tough start. This PP needs some work, which is why I dislike Quinn so much. Perhaps one of our other guys can get them going. Even switch it up, put Heater out there!

PP for the Swiss.

wow.. this is pathetic. Too much partying last night boys?

???
Bertuzzi wasn't on the ice, was he?
Thornton was chasing behind the net, Gagne out front...Bert doesn't usually play with those guys, so I think you're mistaken.
Thornton was the main culprit on the goal...the commentators implied that Regehr was out of position, but he had to go after the guy who slipped by Thornton.
Thornton played a huge part and Regehr missed his assignment. He went towards a man who was out of scoring position and not a threat at that point, leaving a man open infront. He didn't even get to the passer, and he obviously didn't get to the man infront. Thornton was still on the man behind the net as well and it caused a problem. It was a string of bad incidents.

I've really liked the Nash/Thornton/Gagne line thus far, but they are trying to force way too much. It seems like they are forgetting about the point men and just firing pucks across the crease to eachother.

If Switzerland beats Canada, they will probably finish 2nd in the entire group.

Unbelievable!

Of note, it is the first goal Canada has given up in the tourney that McCabe was not on the ice for.
:D
I'm sure some of the posters will find a way to fault him though. Perhaps he gave Regehr a talk before that shift :shakehead

PP La Suisse

Good shot from the blue. The Cockoo's are doing nicely :handclap:

PP La Suisse
Come on Swiss!!

Heatley Needs to see some Power Play time. What is Patty fatty thinking.

one team playing with heart and soul - one team just playing ...

Brodeur is doing his job....where's the rest of the team?!?!?!

:dunno:

Almost 2-0 off of a goalmouth scramble.

Canada just watching the puck bounce around the net, while the Swiss just whack away at it.

Three decent scoring chances for the Swiss during the PP.
No goal though. This is a good game.

Heatley in the penalty box.

Another PP for the Swiss. Canada is playig with fire here.

Bad penalty for Heatley to take....that cut must be deeper than we all thought.

I just want to see Pat Quinn embarassed by Canada Losing.

Another PP for the Swiss. Canada is playig with fire here.
Cash it in boys!

It is a 5-on-3 for the Swiss now.

5-3

Foote in the box.

And Pronger in the box now.
Smells like goal...

Two Sens in the box. . . 5 on 3 for Swiss.

What was Foote thinking...

Holy Geeez, too many penalties.

:shakehead

That was an even up call.

K..I am hoping for the upset, but this referee is pathetic. Penalties are being called for just normal play. Awful.

Another Canada penalty.

Another penalty coming up to Canada.

OMG another penalty WTH!!!

Pronger has to get that puck out.

If canada keeps shooting themselves in the foot they're toast.

Mark Streit is impressive. In Montreal, whenever he touches the puck, I close my eyes and pray.

2-0 Swiss.

2-0 Swiss.

2-0 :handclap:

Gee, what a game this is going to be.

wow, that pronger penalty was a complete joke

Go SWISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

:yo:

2-0 Swiss! Don't take so many penalties Canucks!

Swiss 1 - Russian ref 1 - Canada 0

wow just wow :biglaugh:

Fantastic!

hah Dipietro!

DIPI
2-0 swiss
... bad call on foote

well we can thank the ref for that 2nd goal. nice to know they can score on the powerplay.

2-0 switzerland :handclap:

Dipietro gaaaahhhh. still a 5-3 to???

:cry:

:madfire: :rant:

Swiss 1 - Russian ref 1 - Canada 0

yeah its all about the refs :handclap:

screw spezza or staal, why the hell wasn't Dipietro named to team canada

Hm.
Doesn't canada have any scouting?
I mean come on they obviously dont have a clue about switzerland at all.

wow, that pronger penalty was a complete joke

actually, that was the only one that I thought was legit. he crossed the guy to the ice square in the back without the puck

yeah its all about the refs :handclap:

no just the Russian ref

Canada is showing this game why they really miss a guy like Niedermayer.

They are slow as mollasses on the blueline, and they lack good puck carriers on the blueline.

They can't get the puck out of their end when the pucks gets deep in their end.

one team with 2 goals - one with NOTHING

is that real ?? what a lousy moral that canadian team shows today

worst player on the ice - Todd Bertuzzi

PP 2 - 0 Swiss

:biglaugh:

Swiss 1 - Russian ref 1 - Canada 0

The Canadians had their chances in the first to put it away.

Gotta give it to the Swiss for making the most of their opportunities, no matter how crappy the calls are.

We're getting screwed over in this one. The Swiss have clutched and grabbed the Canadians worse than any team I have ever seen, and Canada's getting called on these ******** little penalties that I haven't been able to catch on the replays.

Absolute balderdash, and the referees should be ashamed of themselves for being so blatantly biased.

i was just telling a guy at work that this is a game id almost like to see them lose now.... i kinda hope they dont come back, it'll be a nice wakeup call for them

PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1





















j/k :) (I hope)

Still a Swiss PP for about 30secs.

The Canucks looked quite shaken for a while there.

How does Pronger,Foote and Heatley work out to 2 Sens in the box? Some trade we haven't heard about?

wow, that pronger penalty was a complete joke

The 2nd goal can be attributed to the BIG waste Pronger. If he hadn't lost the puck he wouldn't have had to take out the Siss player.

The Canadians had their chances in the first to put it away.

True, but like I mentioned in an earlier post....Brodeur's doing his job, where's the rest of the team?!?! Gerber is having a solid game for the Swiss.

worst player on the ice - Todd Bertuzzi
What?
To be fair, he is one of the few Canadians who is actually skating and working today.
Canada better find their legs soon.

well we can thank the ref for that 2nd goal. nice to know they can score on the powerplay.


That was the right call on Pronger, thats a penalty in every league and level you play at..Canada had plenty of chances in the first...you want some cheese with that whine??

I almost wish for a Switzerland win. Man, Canada would go crazy after a lost to them hehe :)

the Canadians are lost out there ...

Time to unleash the offence. Not point in leaving the NHL's elite offensive D-man on the bench. Time to use him and see if he can create something.

There is a god: The Nash-Thornton-Bertuzzi line has been created.

the Canadians are lost out there ...

not saying they will lose this game but if they do better to lose a game now then when it counts.

True, but like I mentioned in an earlier post....Brodeur's doing his job, where's the rest of the team?!?! Gerber is having a solid game for the Swiss.

Not really. Brodeur has looked really shaky. He's been flopping around after every shot it seems. Redden pretty much saved this game from being 3-0 with a key shot block.

That was the right call on Pronger, thats a penalty in every league and level you play at..Canada had plenty of chances in the first...you want some cheese with that whine??
Some Swiss cheese...

nm I understand

We just got robbed of a goal.

The ****ing Whistle Went For No Reason.

**** This ****ing Biased Russian Ref.

why exactly was there a whistle on that play? in teh crease eh? lol, gotta love international rules

What?
To be fair, he is one of the few Canadians who is actually skating and working today.
Canada better find their legs soon.

Yeah of course - he has a lot of ice time but he is mostly late and he is moving his body but NOT the puck !

Martin Gerber flippin' Gerber, baby!

We just got robbed of a goal.


CBC said Bertuzzi was in the crease...no goal.

He got robbed twice there...

:madfire:

Gerber stands tall. Outstanding performance.

Canada has woken up. They are starting to play with some urgency and intensity.

It's all because of the distraction from Gretzky and the betting scandal. :sarcasm:

Seriously though, I think Canada's surprised at how Switzerland is taking it to them physically, this isn't soft Euro hockey today. Canada needs to take a deep breath and start taking the play to them skillwise. I'm sure everyone here knows that Canada holds the advantage in skill. The way this ref is calling the game physical play will just get them in trouble.

Looks like their turning it on now, no worries.

:clap: To the Swiss though.

Good play by McCabe to keep the puck in. It created a scoring chance.

The ****ing Whistle Went For No Reason.

**** This ****ing Biased Russian Ref.
Yeah!!
STOP CALLING THE RULES!!

We just saw a nash-thornton-bertuzzi line and they dominated the swiss chocolates down low.

The Canadians had their chances in the first to put it away.Exactly. The "Russian Ref" comments were nowhere to be found when Switzerland was spending the entire first period in the box.

HATS DOWN TO MARTY .. Gerber !!!

PP Canada.

And now for a pivitol moment...

Go Suisse! Awesome game.

What Blake fanned?

That was the right call on Pronger, thats a penalty in every league and level you play at..Canada had plenty of chances in the first...you want some cheese with that whine??

do you watch hockey? cause that was a joke call, barely touches the guy and he falls down and its a penalty? yeah right..... im not blaming the refs for losing the game, thats the players fault, but that *was* a terrible call

Gerber robbed Nash.

The ****ing Whistle Went For No Reason.

**** This ****ing Biased Russian Ref.

Learn the rules of international hockey.

what a save baby .... !!!

it's a goal. it's over the line.

Glove save a beaut by Gerber!

That's in the net, IMO.

go Swiss! too bad that i cant see this match.. YLE messed up big time!

thats over the line!

Whoa!

He stopped that when the puck was over the goal line.

:madfire:

Thats in the net, but they wont call it

The puck's in the net, but they should just give it to Gerber.

How can they tell if that puck was conclusively over the line?

Whoa!

Scott Speed avatar, rock on.

Do you post on Autosport/Atlas, or ten-tenths?

go damn canada or germany is out :madfire:

that has to be a goal! it should be 2-2

How can they tell if that puck was conclusively over the line?

They can't. So they'll have to guess.

The puck's in the net, but they should just give it to Gerber.


WOOOOOOOWWWWW wutta save...that kinda save is like a dafault save to teh goalie the fact that he got a cross is one thing, another thing that he gloved it is just rediculous

Wow, tough call. All the angles they are showing are horrible.

The ref said no goal, so it has to be conclusive...

Awesome save by Gerber, but it's over the line and should count.

that blowup makes it look like it is in

It won't count.

Joey got burned on that exact same play in a game in Colorado against Edmonton a week or so ago. It will be interesting to see how they call it in the Olympics.....

<quote>These damn swiss are flukes, and all they do is play the trap, LAME! The only thing they are good for is cheese and chocolate, so maybe they should just stick to that!</quote>

Switzerland's actually much better at soccer....

This play is an EXACT replay of a play we just had in the recent Edmonton-Colorado game in Denver, with Morrison robbing Sakic. You could basically assume that the puck was in the webbing across the line, but they did not award the goal to Sakic because you could never actually see the puck.

Edit: Actually, there is puck visibility on this replay. There was none on the Sakic play in Denver. So this will be interesting.

Damn you NBC for hiring these Canadian homers to do my olympic broadcast.

*no offense canadians...

Like I said before the game started, there is no reason to believe that the Swiss wouldn't come out and challenge Canada, playing hard.

Then again there is still no reason to panic for the Canadians. They just have to keep the pressure on and eventually they'll break through.

should be a goal i think. Its hard to deside :eek:

What kind of angles the refs have? From the side it is clearly a goal.

its a goal - definitely !

Greg Millen is annoying, that is all.

Should be a goal, but it sucks ... man, what a "save" by Gerber.

This play is an EXACT replay of a play we just had in the recent Edmonton-Colorado game in Denver, with Morrison robbing Sakic. You could basically assume that the puck was in the webbing across the line, but they did not award the goal to Sakic because you could never actually see the puck.

There was another play like that this season where the goal was awarded.

Damn you NBC for hiring these Canadian homers to do my olympic broadcast.


:biglaugh: :handclap: Good call...I rely on the HFBoards Canadian Homers for the broadcast

Very tough call..

But Gerber should get that just for the incredible glove save.

You know what I just noticed is missing? The arena music. 28 out of 30 NHL arenas would have the Jeopardy theme playing on a loop right now.

Scott Speed avatar, rock on.

Do you post on Autosport/Atlas, or ten-tenths?

:yo:

Don't spend too much time on motorsport boards even though I'm a huge fan of many series. Too much hockey to discuss. ;)

LOL, I remember that game.

These guys aren't Cdn homers.

Should be a goal. Great glove hand, regardless.

the whole glove isnt over the line and you cant assume where the puck is in the glove. There isn't enough evidence to count it

this game should be 2-2.

if its a goal, we come back and win it. if its not, we will lose.

Tough choice, you can't definately see it but you could assume. Referees don't assume.

*no offense canadians...Hehe, could JD say "this Russian referee" any more?

Looked like a goal to me too.
Gerber's glove was in the goal IMO.
The glove is actually behind the pole
in the goal and I think you can see the
puck in it.

Tough call whatever the ref decides.

Come on already. Just make a call!

i wanna see more of nash-thornton-bertuzzi :eek: they clearly expose the holes in the swiss cheese :biglaugh:

Wake me up when the decision is taken.

I just love where the arena management put the replay cameras.
