Bravopilot Who knew Curling can be so sexy and controversial. Excitement is in the airππ Hog line does not make sense on ice. Apparently from Scotland.π
candukid Bravopilot They are splitting hairs here. A double touch if it occurred doesnβt affect the rock at all.
Bravopilot candukid Now the UK is getting into the action. The Olympics removed the stone from their match, the stones are provided by the Olympics, not the nations. Plus, they are made in the UK (Scotland). Great, blame the provided equipment. π
Ack8236 "Granite Touch: Touching the granite of the stone at any point during forward motion is illegal, even before the hog line." Shoulda burned that rock.π―
Spuzz Spuzz What you will see, unfortunately, is cheap shot BS, (mostly from Europeans) because they aren't afraid of having their faces caved in. Great Spuzzervation! France hockey players are chattes!
Bravopilot Spuzz 10-2, not very Canadian beating them by 8. Should have ended it after the 2nd period.π Ouchπ
Spuzz Bravopilot not very Canadian beating them by 8 Blame the stupid Olympic Rules that use goal differential as a tie breaker. If we tie Youse Guys, we needed the extra goals to get top seed. :/
Ack8236 Spuzz Blame the stupid Olympic Rules that use goal differential as a tie breaker. That's why we had Sweden pulling the goalie while leading Slovakia 5-3.π
Mattyv Ack8236 I had the Finland v. Italy game recorded. The coverage went to a different event with 10 minutes left in the game when Finland was up 9-0. The goal differential tie breaker is dumb. I felt bad for Italy.
Weirfan Mattyv While I understand why they use it they could easily cap it at say 5 goals being the max a team can count. If they need to revert to a 2ndary tie breaker then they can use least goals against.
Mattyv Team Canada dodged a bullet today. Czechia looked like they were playing with an extra guy on the ice all night.π
