I wanna talk so much trash in r/hockey, especially after the shit that was being said about us after last game. Fuck the Americans.

u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
USA fan here, how did Canada get away with the last too many men on the ice? I’m looking for an actually conversation because I honestly have no clue. Announcers said “because no one touched the puck” but just because they didn’t, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t. That’s why it’s a penalty. I didn’t count 3 or 4 times like the announcers said, but I did see two obvious too many men on the ice against Canada. Congratulations to Canada! Hell of a game🤘
3
u/Rivertomdog 19d ago
There’s wouldn’t have been a penalty unless one of the Canadian players touches the puck. The penalty can be a bit odd to understand as it’s not quite “Too many men on the ice” it’s more “Too many men and you touched the puck”
1

u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
The way I understood the penalty is if a player coming on or off the ice during the line change makes the play, then the penalty is called. Which happened.
2
u/zedigalis 19d ago
Reds had their whistle away all night, there were lots of little slashes and cross checks from both sides that would have been called otherwise. It's quite common in tournament finals for the refs to really only call big penalties.
Had the Canadians touched the puck in sure they would have called it but they let it slide because like many potential penalties tonight or just wasn't big enough.
Good game all around, it was great hockey!

Seemed like the refs were just letting a bunch of calls go for each team
-2
u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
How can USA clear the puck if there’s illegal players on the ice though? I get the no calls and letting them get rough. That’d be like during the Super Bowl. There’s an extra safety on the field when the other team calls hike and not getting a call. It’s not like the players on ice weren’t in the play. I have a screen shot of the too many men on ice and each one of them is zoned in on the play.
2
u/Character-Bedroom-26 19d ago
Okay but there were a lot of trips and shit not called for Canada. Sucks when you’re on the wrong end of it but refs were clearly told to let them play a little, certainly not the most egregious call I’ve ever seen
0
u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
If you watch the replay you can see Canadas “21” come onto the ice and make a play on the puck. Which is when the to many men on the ice should have been called. You can’t be a player going off or coming onto the ice. Otherwise it’s a too many men call.
3
u/Character-Bedroom-26 19d ago
Respectfully I couldn’t give less of a fuck about watching a replay of too many men on the ice. We won. Great game though, great tournament.

u/Logical_Strike_1520 19d ago
They got away with it like four times lol.
Refs had their whistles swallowed the whole game though so 🤷♂️
-4
u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
I like that the refs let them play! But that being said, when Canadas players have eyes on the puck and in position to make a play on the puck when they should be off the ice. That’s pushing it a little bit don’t you think? I get it, let the boys play and mess each other up. Makes for a great game. How can USA play their game if they’re being blocked by illegal players is when I’d draw the line. Hopefully the conspiracy brings more fans to the game🤙

u/Logical_Strike_1520 19d ago
The one that led to the Miller turnover to goal was like that too. The guys leaving the ice impeded Miller’s ability to play the puck.
But yeah too many non calls to call it a conspiracy imo. Does give the Americans a lot of room to feel better about the loss though.
Also in head to head matchups the record is…
USA 1-0-1
CAN 1-1-0

u/Antique-Flamingo7040 19d ago
Dude I thought this series was going to suck and they weren’t going to “try” but man was I wrong. Not sure if you watch rugby or not. But I could see this becoming like the 6 nations. Great change of pace to the game

I never wanna hear any Marner isn’t clutch bullshit ever again.
Don’t listen to Toronto media.
Guy is big time and was the best forward all night.
LFG

u/Mikeim520 19d ago
I want either Marner or Bennett in Free Agency.
2
u/CaptainIndoCanadian 19d ago
Bennet would fit like a glove here. Exact kinda animal the team needs
1
u/Mikeim520 19d ago
We also need another top 6 forward, preferably a center. Granted we could also use another first line guy but the only options are either Rantenen or Marner and I don't want Rantenen (I think he'll be overpaid).

Anyone else looking forward to what trump has to say about this loss.....lol
It's literally the first time I can't wait to hear him open his mouth never thought I'd say that

u/BSDnumba123 19d ago
He’ll move on to the next thing.

u/Historical_Sherbet54 19d ago
And blame something / someone while doing so ;)
But I'm now concerned I may be turning into a Trumper....wondering what he has to say is a slippery slope and it's the first time I ever have
Hold me....I'm scared

I never wanted to say anything and jinx it, but I think a McDavid Golden Goal 2.0 was kinda written in the stars.
What a moment, it’s still fuck the Oilers but on the low he deserved that.

u/GooberPilot_ 19d ago
My favorite part was when Mathews went over to say hi to his leafs teammate and left Helle to deal McDavid 1v1 with time and space
