AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 wow, from brands blog. good thing the dumb azz refs new the rules pathetic, just principle http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/ IIHF admits mistakes in shootout Now, we've got a bit of controvery to add to yesterday's classic U.S.-Canada semifinal World Junior game. The IIHF said referee Ulf Ronnmark should have used video review on Patrick Kane's attempt in the fourth round. Canadian goalie Carey Price stopped the shot but slowly slid back into his net. Ronnmark said he didn't think he needed to use video replay, but the IIHF disagreed. The chief referee and tournament chairman reviewed the play after the game and concluded that the puck did not cross the goal line. If it had gone in, the tournament directorate (which is made up of one member for each participating country) would have decided what to do about it. One option would have been doing the shootout over again, TSN reported. Another thing the referee messed up was the order of the shootout. After the first three rounds, the order should have reversed and the Americans should have shot first. Of course, nobody knows if this would have made any difference in the outcome. But what's a classic game without controversy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagard Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The rules may not have been applied perfectly, but the mistake was not sending either JJ or Mueller out there for shot #4 to end the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 The rules may not have been applied perfectly, but the mistake was not sending either JJ or Mueller out there for shot #4 to end the shootout. the mistake was not ending it in ot n the 4 on 3, both johnsons must have had 8 shots combined i beleieve. ONE TIME IT. the refs are idiots for these mistakes though. a reverse in order could have been a difference, you never know. or toews would have just ended it that much earlier vs the long island frazee hope toews gets a penalty shot vs the gophs at the ucci vs LIF, just for sh!ts and giggles, would make for some good drama i would lke to have seen okposo shoot at least once as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 the mistake was not ending it in ot n the 4 on 3, both johnsons must have had 8 shots combined i beleieve. ONE TIME IT. Agreed. Both of them had at least 2 or 3 chances in that PP where they received a pass with a whole net to shoot at. But they both took too much time to get the shot off and let Price get back into position. If they one time any of those shots, it would have been game over right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
