[JayKing]

Just double shift Duclair

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Domi was so close.

 

[Rebuilt]

This game is much better than many thought it would be !

 

[JC Numminen]

Ugh, so close!

Just needed to keep the pass down a little more.

 

[NyQuil]

This was like watching every other World Junior game in fast-forward.

 

[mzappa]

Well that was worth the price of admission

 

[Frederick Stanley]

awesome first period

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Epic period. Great hockey!

 

[Atomos2]

Really intense game.Definitely gold medal worthy

 

[PG Canuck]

Good pressure late.

 

[EichHart]

Incredible first.

 

[kihei]

Damn, that was intense.

 

[TimeZone]

Hicketts is brutal out there

 

[KCC]

Better towards the end. Still think Canada's defense is allowing Russia too much space when they enter the zone though. Very entertaining game so far though!

 

[mention]

That was a great period. After three minutes, who would have thought Canada would be more happy for the period to end? Russians look qucik and smooth offensively.

 

[Richter915]

Solid defensive play by McDavid.

good thing McDavid is known for his defensive style of hockey

 

[Canadian Finn]

great first period.

we will win this game.

russia's garbage hockey will not be tolerated by Team Canada.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

These russians are gooooooooooooooooood

Really stepped up since round robin

The Canadian crowd celebrating - that's what pissed off the Russians. The game is settling down now.

 

[Microsens]

McDavid looks like his style is too fancy for a fast and physical game

He's good but not Crosby or Lemieux good.

 

[Whitesnake]

I never said he couldn't score. I said that isn't his role.

What kind of comment is this? His line is suppose to dominate the line he's playing against. And for every line, it's suppose to be about scoring more than the opponent. For that to happen, they need to score. This is junior hockey. Is he going to shoot wide just because it's not his role?

 

[ViD]

Great job by the boys to stay in the game and come back to cut that lead in half. Very nice PK too.

I like the physical play by the Russians even though we are not matching Canada in size

 

[flaneur]

really good period of hockey.

 

[BlueOil]

Great first period. This game can easily go either way.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

The speed and intensity of both teams is just outrageous right now. What a game so far.
