GDT: Gold Medal Game • Jan. 5 • 8:00 PM ET • 02:00 CET • II (Mod warning in OP)

[Richter915]

I get emotion and celebrating but at some point you are just being a jackass. Taunting a bench, giving your opponent a hit after the goal when he's just standing there, that's crossing that line.

Grapes is going to have a field day on this one.

SHOWBOATIN UROPEANS!

 

[Canucks LB]

Virtanen just loves big physical games.

 

[Bure All Day]

This is a freaking gold medal game

So? I don't see why players can't bring this kind of passion and energy every game. That's what they're paid to do

 

[Del Preston]

I actually like Virtanen...I wanted the Leafs to draft him or Ritchie...He's been a disappointment to me and should NOT be playing with McDavid.

He's not playing with McDavid. What game are you watching?

He is not playing with McDavid...just huh???

 

[Davebo*]

Russia has really been outplaying Canada for about 10 minutes now

Actually - it's even now, where it wasn't before. I can see how you'd be confused though.

 

[Sam Spade]

Underage?

IIHF regulation I think

Is is too young for a visor per IIHF rules.

If you're under 18 at the WJC, you have to wear a full cage/bubble

Thanks.

Can people in here make the difference between junior hockey and NHL hockey? Yep, CLEARLY, Gauthier will never be a scorer in the NHL. But in Juniors, with the players he plays with, against the opposition he's facing, he's more than capable to put that puck in the net.

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

You must not be watching this game...

 

[chauron]

Fucale always gives a rebound loose. Aim that russians!

 

[Habsawce]

The defensive gaps are awful for Canada right now.

He's not?

 

[Kresnik]

Russia has ben was better the secondhand half of the furst period

 

[chunkylover53]

Fucale so shaky

 

[Muston Atthews]

damn duclair is flying out there

 

[Aceonfire*]

They should just rotate Nurse, Theodore, and Morrisey for the rest of the game and bench the other D..

 

[Swervin81]

Petan looks like he's going to **** his pants out there. So nervous.

 

[flaneur]

good defence by mcdavid

 

[LiquidSnake]

He's not playing with McDavid. What game are you watching?

I believe that's the joke.

 

[NyQuil]

Ack, that was close.

 

[canadiansbronco]

Fucale has got to get his rebounds under control

 

[Sharpshooter]

Solid defensive play by McDavid.

 

[Richter915]

domi with a whiff

 

[IPreferPi]

McD on the backcheck than feathers a pass to Duclair speeding in.

 

[Bure All Day]

Virtanen just loves big physical games.

Yeah I think Button's comparison of him with Torres is a fairly accurate one.
