GDT: Russia - USA 8:38PM ET

[john g]

double minor on Patty O puts a tough comeback on the US side

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Darn.. Seriously, I'm sure most Canadians such as myself were cheering for USA so we can get revenge..

The Fan 590's guy just had the quote of the day: "A there's a dive, a clear-cut dive by Alexei Yemelin, and if I'm wrong I'll take it back....but there is a lot of blood on the ice...."

 

[190Octane]

That last goal, granted it was a hard shot but if he's in position it's an easy save.


Does anyone else think that O'Sullivan could've done a hell of a lot better of a job of controlling his stick.

 

[Alex Kovalev]

Darn.. Seriously, I'm sure most Canadians such as myself were cheering for USA so we can get revenge..

Not me, id much rather lose to Russia then the States. Thats worst case scenario of course.

 

[SIBIR]

Darn.. Seriously, I'm sure most Canadians such as myself were cheering for USA so we can get revenge..

Russians also want revenge

lol that was great.

Kind of, but this US team does not deserve to be playing for gold. They've had a bad tourney when they are clearly capable of more.

Ouch, that looked very very painful. I know it was accidental, but I would HATE to be on the receiving end on that.

 

[Firefly]

Khudobin with his best MAF impression. :lol

 

[NYRangers]

Wow dirty high stick by O'Sullivan.

Your not watching the game are you?

 

[Winston Wolf]

Should have been a penalty shot right before that.

Totally. Not blaming the refs for the loss, as I really don't care who wins this game, (want Canada) but giving O'Sullivan a major penalty wayyy after the play, but not calling a blatantly obvious bodycheck into the net is majorly weak. Vorobiev wasn't even around play, he just skated from the other side of the ice right into the net.

 

[Aaron Vickers]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't knocking the net off a delay of game penalty?

Doesn't it only become a penalty shot if it is in the last two minutes of the game? I seem to recall that scenerio a few years ago in the final between Russia and Canada.

 

[HellsBells]

Darn.. Seriously, I'm sure most Canadians such as myself were cheering for USA so we can get revenge..

We still owe Russia for the two years before last year.

Revenge shall be sweet.

 

[leafaholix*]

Vorobiev knocking the net off basically killed America's chance.

 

[Legionnaire]

Good kill guys!!!

Let's do it now!

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

 

[Molson Canadian]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't knocking the net off a delay of game penalty?

yeah it is they just didn't call it

 

[Cawz]

I seem to recall that scenerio a few years ago in the final between Russia and Canada.

What I remember is the Russian netminder took the net off the magnet when the ref wasnt looking. That way, the net was knocked off easily when the Canadians crashed the net in the dying seconds. Smart play, very underhanded, but smart.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

We still owe Russia for the two years before last year.

Revenge shall be sweet.

Russia has won 3 gold medals in a row against Canada, including 2 immediatly preceeding the US.

Montoya pulled for the extra skater

US timeout 2:58 left

 

[Zoo]

Malkin puts the last nail in the coffin.

 

[Legionnaire]

Montoya on the bench

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!
Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!
Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

 

[littleHossa]

Lisin. can't. finish.


The commentators also mentioned that Montoya could be injured, he has difficulty getting up and when the play is in the Russian zone he shows pain.

Rylov is also a good defenseman, he's one of the better for team Russia, someone might want to draft him.

 

[WVP]

Wow, are they really pulling Montoya with 3 minutes left?

 

[Toonces]

Your not watching the game are you?

I don't know if it was intentional, but he swung the stick around very carelessly.
