Riders prepare for Redblacks after first win in months
6h ago
For the first time since July, the Riders can build off a win on Saturday.
Sunday had the makings of two incredibly historic moments.
Tiger Woods came through with an unforgettable Masters victory.
And because the weather moved the tee times to the morning, it allowed the golf audience to watch the world women’s hockey championship.
Canada had been eliminated in a semifinal by Finland and even that was historic.
But Finland then took the now-unbeatable U.S. women’s team to overtime. And the Finns scored. They were world champions, the first nation beyond Canada and the U.S. to win an international women’s hockey tournament ever.
Hold on, though. A challenge for goaltender interference. An eight-minute review and an inexcusable reversal. Play on. The U.S. would later win in a shootout.
A historic moment to move the sport forward killed by an eight-minute review in which the play could not be deemed absolute goalie interference.
The IIHF embarrassed itself, the officials and the game.
Robbing us of something everyone in women’s hockey has quietly been hoping for. A day when the sport can no longer be criticized for only having two capable teams.
Sunday was that day and video review ruined it.
