Welcome to the World Juniors. Happens to the US and Canadian teams every year.Unbelievable...the way the IIHF has handled discipline in this tournament as been an absolute joke.

SIMPSON NEARS CENTURY MARK
Senior forward Wayne Simpson has 98 points in his illustrious Union career. With two more points, he'll reach the 100 point plateau, a feat accomplished by only eight other Dutchmen during the Division I era. The most recent was Jeremy Welsh, who reached the milestone during the 2011-2012 season. Welsh, who left the program in April to sign with the Carolina Hurricanes, concluded his three-year (2009-2012) Union career with 100 points. The Division I era career points leader is Adam Presizniuk (2007-2011) with 131.
It's about time the goons are called for what they really do.
I dont know what this post means....but I really like this kid and wish he was at RPI instead. He has been really solid from every tournament game I've seen thus far. Also, if you dont think that all that kind of "silent" chopping, hooking, slashing goes on at every level in every game, then you just havent played (at least at a high level). He shoulda went over and stepped in the guy for being such a snowflake. With an act like that I can assure you that the guy doesnt have the set of attachments that he acted as if got injured. Silly move to make by the Ghost ? Clearly....but happens in every game. Someday that guys grandkids will see the video of grandpa taking a fall and wonder what grandma ever saw in him and why she married such a wimp.
Totally agree. I played the clip about six times the other night, thinking I HAD to be missing something. Worst call ever ---which resulted in a suspension ...wow

If he doesn't have those attachments, how is he going to have grandkids?I dont know what this post means....but I really like this kid and wish he was at RPI instead.

This is one of the best posts I've ever seen on here. I have to wholeheartedly agree with you, WS, and Steve P. What Ghost did was dumb and unnecessary, but nowhere else besides the World Juniors is the penalty on that play anything more than two minutes.
It wasnt even a 2 minute penalty. It happens 50 times a game all over the ice. The kid who faked being injured is whats wrong with hockey.
He is as clean and classy a player as they come
