GDT: Bronze Medal Game | Finland vs Russia | 1/5 @ 5PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[The Blue Baron]

Whoof Russia failing D zone coverage.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Russia's transition is pretty poor, they are relatively good and in control in their zone, exit doesn't look too bad either but once they are in the neutral it all falls apart, nothing useful over the red line into the o zone.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

If the Russians wound up losing the game, I bet the criticisms about this team back in their country would be deafening.

 

[fahad203]

You can't give up that kind of rebound from that kind of shot

 

[Cinderblox]

Finland dominating, so 2-2 incoming...

 

[APVJ]

Jesus Russia is weak.

 

[Erep]

I see a Russian player without a stick, and my first instinct is he must have given it to Askarov...

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Askarov having his best game of the tournament.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

I feel like Larionov might want to start riding his best players. He has to start mixing things up, surely. Where’s the creativity?

 

[TheYardMachine]

Finns are all over!
They deserve this one

 

[The Blue Baron]

“Natural 4th rounder?” What the heck is that?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I feel like Larionov might want to start riding his best players. He has to start mixing things up, surely. Where’s the creativity?

Was just going to say. They need that top line out there more. Most of these other guys are just getting bogged down.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Jesus Russia is weak.

Good, simple description...no power through the neutral

 

[Ginger Papa]

Nice to see Askarov have a strong bounce back game. My 11 year old Ginger is happy her big Red Lobster is doing well today.

Edit: I just heard Ray say something nice about him.

 

[Shocker]

This. It's not Minsk 2014, Lukasenka and Putin. I think they call fair. Russia just know the line today better.

Ah, the very clean crosscheck from Malkin at Haula which broke his jaw.

Minsk was such a shitshow and Fasel still wants to go back there even with all the shit going on in there.

 

[The Blue Baron]

If the Russians wound up losing the game, I bet the criticisms about this team back in their country would be deafening.

They’ll be hanging dolls of Igor. Poor poor Igor.

 

[John Agar]

There are also such curious exception like the word "univormu" which is more or less pronounced along the lines of its Latin/French/English origins as regards the "v" which equals [f] of the source word(s) "uniform(is)"

Or I donno how people say "univormu" in different dialects animating Finnish provincal country side, let alone the older folks/elderly people. Maybe "uniVoRmu" but we "civilized"urban people like to have our coffee with F as well as ... uck

Well apparently Ahwomen is somehow now a word that has meaning...

Amen is a derivative of Latin meaning Truly...

It's such a crazy World now

 

[Svedu]

Finland dominating, so 2-2 incoming...

Feels like your right, unfortunately. Cmon boys!

 

[Dexter Colt]

And BEEER LOTS AND LOTS OF COLD BEEER!

F-bit coin

Thank you! I was getting worried, you Finns seemed too sober tonight

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Well apparently Ahwomen is somehow now a word that has meaning...

It's such a crazy World now

Insane really

 

[John Agar]

They’ll be hanging dolls of Igor. Poor poor Igor.

You mean they'll have little Igors that will fit into yet bigger Igors and so on.... ?

 

[DropTheGloves]

I see a Russian player without a stick, and my first instinct is he must have given it to Askarov...

Good news: the IIHF has followed the NHL’s lead and Askarov is now sponsored by Gorilla Glue.

Bad news: Askarov will never drop his stick again, ever.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Missed chance there by Russia, Finns caught running around in their own zone. Going to be a barn burner finish pardon the pun.

 

[Killahpunk]

How did the rankings from 5th to 8th finish this year?

 

[LeafGrief]

That was some pretty clear Russian cursing after that chance
