Karly14 21 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 Anybody else see this? I thought it was pretty gutless, he hooked a ref pretty hard twice, and shoved a linesman, he didnt get displined at all, hes a good player and im going for Canada, but him not getting in any trouble for what he did ressurects the argument that Canadians get special treatment in inter. play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanner23 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 Ya i heard about this dident see it live because the Tsn cameras dident catch it only the swedish camera man did it turns out that the only reason he dient get supsended or anytthing was because the refs dident like file a report or anytthing .

cameltaur 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 I saw the video...don't get me wrong, I love Nash. He's one of my favorite players, has been for a year or two. But that was definitely intentional. The hook is 100% intentional, and it looks like to contact with the linsemen was more of him just getting in the way when Nash spun around. I can't believe he wasn't booted from the tournament. What the TSN report said that the ref might be scared to challenge Canada, which i guess is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kosydar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 I didn't see it, but under no circumstances should a player ever touch a ref. Period. It doesn't matter who the player is or what country he plays for, he needs to be punished. Hell, I've been kicked out of a tournament for skating backwards into a ref on accident.

sherwood21 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 One of my favorite players, but this was not dismissable. He should be disciplined, regardless if he is a leading player/scorer. He purposefully hooked the ref, for about 2 seconds, the ref threw his stick off of him, then the linesman grabbed him, Nash pushed him away angrily. Very uncharacteristic.

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 10, 2005 If the incident was Nash's reaction to bad reffing/calls...I hope he has it out of his system by tomorrow...Canada plays Ukraine, and from what McGuire/Miller were saying during the Fin/Latvia game today on TSN the 'Kraines were pretty dirty versus USA.I'd expect some diving and bad calls tomorrow. He's definately lucky though. He should have been suspended (if not tossed right out of the tourney). If that was the NHL he'd be gone for at least 10 games...probably more like 20.
