GDT: 9/24 - Canada vs. Russia - Pt. II

[NucksRuleYep]

CAN I HEAR a WHOOP WHOOP from all the Bob fans??? YEAH!!! ...... right?

 

[TLeafsFan]

Home stretch!

 

[Alwalys]

generous icing there

 

[FinnLightning26]

Finnish fans would give their left nut to have him on their team.

I don't care if he's a good player. Have always hated him and always will.

 

[Fantomas]

Znarok is going to blow everyone's mind with this timeout.

 

[Battle Lin]

my gawd how good is sid

 

[General Zodd]

 

[Nalens Oga]

Zaitsev isnt looking good, hes just not looking bad

There hasn't been a single dman on either team in this game that's looked good outside Doughty and maybe Vlasic (I can never notice/tell with that guy). Way too many bad passes even from the Canadian dmen where they just toss it for a weak stretch pass that's icing or intercepted. Makes me really wish for Letang/Subban here or a healthy Keith.

Also c'mon Babs game's over play the 4th line a bit.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I think the announcers are right.
Toews derserves some credits for shutting down Ovechikin's line

 

[PG Canuck]

I don't see why some people think that is a discussion anymore, it has been clear for some time Crosby is simply the better player.

This tournament is just added evidence.

There is way too much evidence we could be here for a couple weeks compiling it all. Generational talent is tossed around way too freely, but not when it's about Sid.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

This really doesn't fall on Russia's defense, it was all Canada the whole game, it was a collective fail from Russia.

 

[jj cale]

I don't care if he's a good player. Have always hated him and always will.

I think that is wonderful.

 

[Fantomas]

"Ovechkin is on the ice"

Ah, too bad.

 

[Incognito]

LOL at anyone who thought Russia would win this game

 

[Fantomas]

Hey, you can hear Canadian fans in the crowd for the first time tonight!

 

[FinnLightning26]

I think that is wonderful.

Good for you then.

Adv. stats for this game, Emelin CF% 24.14%, Markov 26.92%. Best Russian D's are Zaitsev (64.52%) and Orlov (55.56%), best Russian forward is Kucherov (52.38% with 33% ozone starts).



Somehow JBo and Burns are sub 50% CF this game..

 

[Dris]

Awesome game...congrats Canada

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Russia's defense consisting of a bunch of 6/7 Ds.No wonder they lose.

Markov's better than that. Unfortunately, he's never been known as a shut down d-man and, honestly, he's getting older.

 

[A1LeafNation]

no he hasnt, i've seen every one of Russia's game, he was atrocious vs NA.

this game he's been one of Russia's best players tho (along with Kucherov).

Are you kidding me... he was breaking up plays left and right against NA. Had an assist too.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

God shut up Toronto crowd.

 

[The Macho King]

Don't really want to harp on Russian D anymore. Just a massive talent gap.

Malkin has been an embarrassment.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Hey, you can hear Canadian fans in the crowd for the first time tonight!

The crowd has indeed been disappointing.

 

[Cellee]

Did Ovechkin play tonight?
