GDT: 2014 Winter Olympics Part IV, POTENTIAL SPOILERS

[trenton1]

Wonder if the Russian coaches will regret starting Varly.

They should. Not that that is the sole reason they are going down.

 

[qc]

Poorsports.

 

[TD Charlie]

Ovechkin just went hunting up high on Selanne and missed. Frustration is palpable.

 

[Fossy21]

Ovi goes out of his way for two hits, then just doesn't give a **** when he gets the puck turned over towards him, and just leaves it for Selänne.

 

[Terrier]

Alexei Kasatonov. What memories.


Barring a miracle at this time, it'll be interesting to see the NHL vs. KHL stuff boil over in that locker room.

 

[mikelvl]

Biggest Russian mistake = not starting Bobrovsky

That coach is headed to the Gulag.

 

[TCL40]

They've outshot them 2-1. They haven't. They just haven't played a cohesive game.

I think the lack of a cohesive game is the truth.

Russians are trying but it's like 6 individual players trying to do it all rather than work together.

It reminds me of this one kid on my daughter's soccer team. He had to be the star and just wouldn't pass the ball once he got possession (he was good but one guy can't win a soccer game).

 

[member 96824]

Ovie used to be such a big game player too...damn.

 

[EverettMike]

I wonder if that guy that always defends Ovechkin is going to show up today....

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

I would die if Rask scores.

 

[TCL40]

Nice job by Tuukka.

Russian ice hockey team sent to Siberia.

 

[MTaylorJ1]

Not that I love the idea of Rask starting back to back days. But oh my is this glorious glorious karma for Putin.

 

[Spoked-B]

2 U's, 2 K's, toodles Russia!

 

[Bad Hat Harry]

I hope they cut Malkin and Ovie from the next Olympics/World Cup of Hockey Roster

 

[qc]

They should be ashamed.

 

[TCL40]

Ovie looks kind of sad but Datsyuk really looked sad and frustrated still.

Russians won't win a medal until they figure out hockey is a team game and stars have to work together to win.

 

[EverettMike]

I hope they cut Malkin and Ovie from the next Olympics/World Cup of Hockey Roster

How would anyone be able to tell?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

not a bad day, Bergy, Rask and Loui all gonna move forward

winners gonna win

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

Before the Olympics, I called a Sweden/Finland final, just like the WJC.

I was really only kidding.....or was I?

 

[Nose Face Killah]

All of the Russian players are going to Russian Gulag in Siberia

 

[bolt thrower]

Awesome game by the Finns!

Rask was great and really calm and Selänne is still a beast!!!

 

[TCL40]

They should be ashamed.

Somebody had to lose but this wasn't a game or really a tournament where the Russians could say they played well but came up short.

 

[11MilesPerJohan]

This is what the Russians do. This is their recent track record. This is why, when the rosters were announced, I said I wasn't worried about Russia. Can we all remember this next time when we see just how much "firepower" they have on their team? It doesn't matter. They aren't winners.

 

[bobbyorr04]

How could the Finns beat Russia?
I read many posts that said Canada had NO competition or a weak schedule, and yet they had to play Finland....I guess the Finns are a little better than some fans thought.

 

[trenton1]

Datsyuk is the real deal. Ovechkin will never win.
