GDT: Game 10: Canada Vs Russia | 1PM EST 7PM CET | RUS 6 - 0 CAN

[NyQuil]

I dislike ALL the chest pumping - no matter the team, but Russia takes the gloating to a different level. It's a shame.

Well, if it was Canadians being disrespectful, that would not be cool.

 

[Love]

Russia leads 6-0, yet Podkolzin 0+0, hows that possible?

What is up with your Podkolzin obsession? It’s so strange.

 

[Czechboy]

Miftakhov was very good.

When the game was still close, he stood strong, particularly when Canada got in close in the crease.

He didn't let a goal in against Czechs when he came in... 4 periods of shutout hockey for him!

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Coulda gone either way.

 

[ViD]

Did I see darius kasparaitis behind the bench?

Khabibulin

 

[NyQuil]

Handshakes looking cordial.

True. I'm was just talking in general.

Year in and year out, the Russian trash talk is extreme.

Just trolling because some canucks fans actually bite that

Pod was very solid to day especially in the first period when he went toe to toe with Lafreniere

Sometimes a shellacking is just what a team needs. Hopefully Canada wakes up and comes out better in the next game. You can't read too much into one game in these tourneys.

I think the most concerning aspect for me is just how easy opposing forwards seem to walk our defencemen.

Our forwards can work harder, but we can’t get beat like that consistently on the defensive end and win a Gold medal.

First time Canada has been shutout at this tournament since 1998 or 134 games.

Amen.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Good game. Congrats Russia.

No Spengler Cup thread?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I'll eat my shirt if Canada doesn't win this

How's the shirt taste?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Russian D >> Canadian D was a big difference in this game

Khabibulin

I was thinking Dirus finally got a hair cut? You are right it was Bulin wall.

Russia is classless almost every year. I feel no remorse for any small action Canada may have taken that the Russian captain found disrespectful lol. Chearing like you won gold after goals 4-6 is just as bad. The year Yakupov and company eliminated them they celebrated as hard as possible infront of Canada's bench. All credit to Russia for this win but they are scum when it comes to class.

The Spengler Cup is what I watch when I have relatives over and I don’t want to talk to them.

Everything that could go wrong, did.

From the first goal that was offside TWICE, to the third goal that was weak, to our best player getting hurt. It was a mess.

We have to hope for a regroup.

First time Canada has been shutout at this tournament since 1998 or 134 games.

something tells me it'll be another 134 games till the next shutout... I think Canada comes out flying after this game.

Yeah, this isn’t warranted.

Russia didn’t do anything classless today that I could see so let it go.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Lmao what’s is your angle here? Canada has proven multiple times it can win on any continent. Juniors and men, have you forgotten the 2007 and 2008 World Juniors or 2014 Sochi and the men’s 2015 and 2016 IIHF tournaments already? Amongst many more.

Salt is unreal here

I meant juniors particuarly and then it was 11 years since last as you say. That is pretty long time for being Canada.

It's strange because Davos is having a good season but things aren't going their way. Canada is steamrolling the competition so far.
