GDT: 9/24 - Canada vs. Russia - 7 PM ET

[Royisgone]

Those Soviet women were something.

OH yes.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

For what not playing a good gamer and being badly out played.

It's still tied so they must be doing something right

 

[JFG]

For what not playing a good gamer and being badly out played.

Cringe.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I still remember when Luongo got thrown under the bus despite winning the gold in 2010, cause that makes sense right? Oh well, I hope Price doesn't get the same treatment, but it will be interesting what the HF groupthink decides.

Price is playing like Lou did. Good enough but not good enough to inspire confidence, like he did in 2014.

 

[Fantomas]

OH yes.

Don't forget the first woman in space - Valentina Tereshkova. I miss the Soviets.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Russians too gritty for Canada.

 

[albator71]

Canada will win it in the third i say 4-2 with an empty net

 

[teravaineSAROS]

This Canadian fan is not bitter.
I'm watching great hockey.
I actually enjoy the WHC format more than I thought I would.

Yea I like most canadian fans in here, unfortunately the bitter ones are always the loudest.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 3RD PERIOD!

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Bitterness?

My thoughts exactly, any sort of analysis of the Russian game apparently.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

Yeah, i have. And no one acted like that. If it was a Russian who acted like "Marshy", i'm sure you'd say differently.

So if your buddy was attacked by malkin first (if you actually watched the play) like that would you expect your mate to stand there and watch or jump in. Sounds like you would watch your guy take a beating because its politically correct to stay out of danger. Glad your not my teammate, lol.

 

[Yemack]

Russians too gritty for Canada.

Not really. score is only 2-2. Canada had more chances.

 

[Fantomas]

Canada will win it in the third i say 4-2 with an empty net

Probably. But one can hope.

 

[habtastic]

what happend to Price? He only allowed 3 goals during the entire Sochi tournament and I bet he's going to let in at least 3 goals in this game by the look of it (Yes I'm making a lot of comparisons to 2014 currently).

Dunno if you noticed how much worse the CAN D is playing than Sochi. What chance did he have on the second goal. Absolutely none. Even Couture said that the D need to be better at clearing guys out of the crease.

First goal, he got a piece of a perfect shot.

I'm more worried about how the entire D is playing. They're costing us, and that includes Weber, in case it sounds like I'm being biased. Doughty is the only one who's been solid.

I'm calling some Toews heroics.

And kudos to Russia, they're playing a terrific game.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I think maybe Don should double up on the depends.

 

[CashMash]

Don't forget the first woman in space - Valentina Tereshkova. I miss the Soviets.

I hope (and think) this is mostly in jest. Clearly you weren't a citizen of the USSR.

 

[Rugbyplayer*]

Don't forget the first woman in space - Valentina Tereshkova. I miss the Soviets.

I don't because Latvia wouldn't have regained independence.

 

[Dris]

Russia got out shot 10-4 in the last 15 not sure how you give them the edge.

Quality of the chances should count no?... a post, should not count as a deflected shot going 3 meters wide

pure crude statistics help but do not fully explain a match

 

[major major]

The Soviets didn't believe in God and did just fine.

Yeah, back when they could put 6 D out there better than the best Russian D now.

Let's see... which team do you cheer for?

I'm rooting for Russia and I have no problem admitting that they're getting killed in shots, chances, high-quality chances, etc...

 

[Fantomas]

I don't because Latvia wouldn't regain independence.

Independence schmedependence!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Bob is the only reason the ruskies are here. He has been the best player in the tourny with Sid. That includes all the games not just today, without him they are flying home, where some do not want to be.

Lundqvist has been just as good for Sweden. Kind of sad he had to be.

 

[ViD]

Ok, team Russia, this is our chance, this is our time.

We are good, we are very good.

Canada is very good, but they are NOT invincible.

GO RUSSIA

РОССИЯ!

 

[Fantomas]

Yeah, back when they could put 6 D out there better than the best Russian D now.

Very true. Russia could use a prime Valeri Vasiliev now.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Any penalties to start this off? Looked like the ref pointed at Vlasic, who came in late

 

[Fantomas]

I hope (and think) this is mostly in jest. Clearly you weren't a citizen of the USSR.

I was very much a citizen of the USSR.

 

[Slot]

Neither counts as a shot so neither is included in the total.
