GDT: Bronze Medal Game - May 21 - Russia (5) vs Finland (3)

[Roland of Gilead]

Nice try Finland, nice try!

 

[Privet]

Lmao Belov

 

[malkinfan]

Karma gets Belov

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Belov injured.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Huh, tuned in, saw it was 4-0, tuned out, tuned in and suddenly it's 5-3. What happened, are the Russians playing bad suddenly or Finland finally getting it together?

defensive brainfarts by Russia and a weak deflection goal let in by Vasilevsky.

 

[Siberian]

It looks like Belov pulled something doing a split. I am just curious if some of Russia's players don't have proper stretching routines.

1 legit goal to finish 2nd period (from a bad defensive play by Russians).

Vasilevsky gift goal to start 3rd.

Finn PP with a lucky bounce in the first 5min of third.


GG Russia. The right team won, but at least the game was entertaining.

 

[W75]

Congrats Rossija.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Alright, Russia gets Bronze. Good, but I didn't like their performance after 4-0.

 

[malkinfan]

Plotnikov cant even stay on his feet let alone play hockey (3 falls in the last shift). But yeah lets bench Sipahcev - GFY Znarok

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Congrats Rossija.

Thanks man, respect to Team Finland for not giving up and for fighting to the end.

 

[Lempo]

Oh well. Congrats Russia.

 

[varsaku]

That's got to suck getting injured in the final minute of the season. Hope it isn't too serious.

Plotnikov isn't that bad, he's pretty feisty and physical. But he takes stupid penalties, which is bad.

 

[Canuckistani]

Congrats Russia. Well earned bronze!

 

[armani]

I gotta say, Finland always impresses me in international hockey. They play the same, gritty, in your face hockey regardless of who they play and who they're missing in their roster.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Oh well. Congrats Russia.

Thanks for the classy comments guys, respect to Team Finland!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Congrats Russia. Well earned bronze!

Thanks, Canada should take Gold! All the best.

 

[DaJackal]

Entertaining game.

Congrats Russia, you were clearly better! Honorable mention to Finnish players for fighting until the end. (The coaching should be fired, though. Marjamäki's hockey is awful to watch.) Our this year's team wasn't even our B team, so I'm fine with 4th place. More than I expected with this team & coaching staff.

 

[Lempo]

Snarog four seasons, four medals.

 

[Bloomfield*]

Finland should keep their headcoach for many many years

 

[Privet]

Always love hearing that Russian anthem

 

[DaJackal]

Always love hearing that Russian anthem

I don't like the context today, but it is a good tune tbh.

 

[Lempo]

Always love hearing that Russian anthem

The audience certainly delivered it properly.

 

[grieves]

I love how Znarok looks like he's been hitting the bottle all his life.

Marjamäki should improve his body language. He looks like he is ******** his pants most of the time. Even if he is, you can't show that.
