And the Oscar goes to... Jaromir Jagr - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

FFS, watching the ice hockey world championship final live, Russia vs Czech, and I'm just simply furious as a spectator who doesn't care which of these 2 wins.

There was 100% legal tackle by a russian player (shoving his ass in front of other player) - the bad part was that the other player was Jaromir Jagr, who again was like he would have been hit by a damn train there, and caused the referees to give 5+20 (game penalty) for the russian player - for a damn legal tackle which wasn't dangerous in anyway either [cursing][cursing][cursing]

Jagr has been doing this over and over again at least in world championships over the years, dunno if he did the same in NHL or does now in KHL, but seriously, ban the damn actor from any major sporting event [ban]

I am in no way a fan of hockey but how the referee is handling the rules is a bit simple, I mean their judgement is based on their evaluation of the game from a subjective point of view. I know objective is impossible with a human but maybe someone should invent a robot referee instead.

Jagr has an annoying name as well, I keep thinking of Jag which is the Swedish word for "I".

Well there's 4 referees out there, 2 "head referees" and 2 "linemen" who still assist on every judgement if needed, so this kinda stupid mistakes shouldn't happen [thumbdown]

What's even more stupid, though, is that they can use "video judges" with replays only in case of unclear goals, not situations like this

They should always have them running, using when there's a conflict lol.

It's only the worlds (says the bitter Canadian).

I hate Jagr too, for obvious reasons.
