Vorobiev knocking the net off basically killed America's chance.
I honestly doubt America would have scored there anyways, but the call still should have been made. That would have stopped the Malkin goal and it would be at least 3-2.

Montoya has been pulled with three minutes left. :shakehead

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

The boys won't let it happen again. Unless Glass absolutely craps the bed, Canada should win this tourney. But thats why they play the games.

Can't wait 'til Tuesday. Go Canada !!
 
The Americans were exposed defensively in this tournament. Some nice forward talent, but they didn't really have quality replacements for Stuart, Richmond, Carle, Wisniewski, etc.

The final should be a good one - the Russians are evidently one of the top two teams, but I'm not sold on their defence either. I think the Canadian team can exploit theri lack of size with strong forechecking.
 
What incredible class by Ovechkin taunting some fans in the crowd and pointing to his name on the back of his jersey after scoring an empty net goal


:shakehead :shakehead :shakehead :shakehead :shakehead



I just lost all respect for him.
 
there is your Malkin EN

apparently to get Russians to forecheck you just need to pull the other teams goalie (never seen russians forecheck like that before) ;)
 
man i'm really dissapointed with the way the US forwards played

brutal on the neutral zone turnovers, no sustained pressure...you watch how the russian forwards played in the zone but the US forwards look like they have no gameplan

that IMO has been the problem with the US this tournament...no gameplan

i'm dissapointed with that...

So true, they were slashing all over the place looking for that extra ENG.
