[Czechboy]

I was quiet until now. Hockey game is over, thank Gusev it's going to shootout.

LOL... great line.

Well we had best chance n the other we had more chances in OT and whole 3rd period.

Is the TSN feed the world feed? Everybody has to listen to Ray?

VPN... I'm watching Czech feed... been flawless!

 

[Czechboy]

Vrana with an awful miss.lol

 

[robertocarlos]

At least there are 5 chances in this shootout.

No.
IIHF had it's own youtube feeds > not sure of the commentary as they are geoblocked for me.
In Germany Sport1.de is livestreaming on youtube with German commentary.
Have seen clips of Finnish & Swedish feeds. I guess Russians don't listen to Trail BC's finest mate.

Kovalchuk smoked him... Kubalik not close either... stopped Kucherov!

 

[scotian1]

Just pitiful shootout attempts by the Czechs.

No there wasn't...

 

[karhukissa]

Wtf Hronek. That was like floorball shootout

 

[Killahpunk]

Good Bronze medal game. Russia wins the Bronze after an impressive tournament.

 

[Czechboy]

Kovar was so close.. needed to keep going wide! f***en hell.. another 5 hole goal... that's 3 today. I agree with Hronek choice... Vasilevsky was amazing. I didn't like Hrubec's chances. 3 five hole goals squeaked through him.

It's amazing because we lost in shootout but you'd be hardpressed to convince me that Czechs were worse during the game.

 

[robertocarlos]

No there wasn't...

I mean 5 shooters. NHL has only 3 shooters. Kovy nailed it.

 

[Czechboy]

Just pitiful shootout attempts by the Czechs.

Remember when Canada looked awful against Hasek in Nagano? Same thing.. Andrei was just unreal. Totally got in their heads and didn't bite on anythin.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Vasi reminds me of King Henrik in 2017. Not much chance to beat him in SO. Head up Czech, gg.

LOL..

CZE deserve to lose with those penalty shots.

 

[Czechboy]

Good job Russia... I'm very proud of Czechs and how they played! We went toe to toe with a very good Russian team and left it all out there!

 

[Golden Puppers]

I say it every year but the IIHF is absolute garbage for allowing a Medal game to be decided by a tacky skills competition. It's mindblowing...

Someone give me a good reason why it's not continuous OT like the Stanley Cup Playoffs?!

 

[Jakk123]

Shame, but still, it was a good game from the Czechs.

 

[Czechboy]

Repik is an interesting choice. Not that I think he played poorly.

Back to back amazing goalie performances with Murray yesterday and now Vasilevsky.

 

[Ingvar]

The least satisfying way to win the least satisfying medal. Vasilevsky won this one solo - no help from anyone else there. My condolences to Czechs who had to play and watch this game.

Because the final game is going to be played in the same arena in less than 2 hours?

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love continuous OT but it's just not possible in a tournament like this. Maybe if they played those games on separate days.

 

[ccman68]

I’m sure people are gonna complain about the Czech shooters but honestly Vasy is the best shootout goalie in the world by a mile. Knew Russia had won the second ot ended.

 

[czechmate]

Congrats to Russia for Bronze. Vasi has been unreal, he was key for Russia today.

I really liked the Czech effort today compared to yesterdays game against Canada. Even if we lost the game, it was not for lack of trying, that's the most important part for me. We need to work on our scoring efficiency though, its absolutely catastrophic. We had so many scoring chances to win this game in the 3rd period alone, but didn't capitalize on any.

I guess the quest for a medal continues for the Czechs. There is certainly more positive then negative to take away from this tourney. Cesi do toho!

Read above.. it's a tournament. Canada plays Finland in one hour on this rink. They need to get fans out, fans in, warmup skate etc.
