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

[TopT]

Ha ha; I stoped watching after 5, unbelivable

 

[Kharkov]

Cant admit that russia just OWNED YOU

Whats the score?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

If Fucale had any rebound control this doesn't get out of control.

Pretty much this. You can tell the boys have no confidence in him.

 

[Appleyard]

Lol Eric Lindros and Mikael Renberg on SVT sounds like to lovers that havent seen echother for years

I wonder how much Swedish Lindros knows? His dad at least must have grown up in a household that spoke some Swedish.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I can't keep up with this thread.

 

[KPower]

Swedes and yanks have sure woke up in here..lol

 

[Kellogs]

um, mcdavid had a beautiful goal that period?

And we barely saw him after that.

 

[King Woodballs]

Nurse has been our best dman

Not tonight
The only game that matters now

 

[Davebo*]

We'll be fine. Kill off this penalty - get another goal. And when we do get the momentum back - play with frigging control!

 

[PG Canuck]

Can't wait for the third.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

We're getting **** for bounces right now. Gotta fight through it.

 

[Beaunett]

Defense is starstruck. Bowey if you wanted to be a forward so bad you should have told your father to register you as a forward not defense. So many pinches that have resulted into a goal.

 

[Lehner]

Those penalties were the right calls.

Fucale is terrible. what a terrible player. This is an epic collapse.

Does that mean we can conclude that McDavid and Nurse are bad leaders and players? That's the logic used with the leafs and Kessel and Phaneuf.

Virtanen did nothing wrong.

 

[Viggo Mortensen]

lol @ ''juicy rebounds'' comments....Russia takes a good hard shot, what can you do when you have your 2 D standing within 1 feet of you in the crease who will score in their own net? Or when the team takes penalties after penalties?

Anyway at this point, I agree that Fucale needs to be pulled just because his confidenceis probably shattered or to try to switch the momentum.

 

[hototogisu]

And the Gauthier line needs to **** off. Yeah they cycle down low, but they generate no offense and are collectively way too slow to catch up/prevent Russia's breakout. It felt like I saw Gauthier et al twice as much as I saw McDavid.

 

[Othello*]

Theadore best dman

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

This is rich. The Americans play the same team and complain about officiating and get harassed. The Canadians do it and it's completely warranted. Great game.

 

[JayKing]

Bowey is this year's Dumba/Murphy.

 

[flaneur]

classic russia-canada game so far. this rivalry always produces interesting games

 

[ShooterMikgaven]

Lol always excuses with you, called it before the game, you will blame the refs, fucale, team canada headquarters, mcdavid sucking
Cant admit that russia just OWNED YOU

Yet haven't owned a lead the entire game

 

[Richter915]

Oh, this is tough. But this team is strong, believe!

I BELIEVE FOR A GREAT 3RD PERIOD FROM TEAM CANADA!! GO CANADA!

how dare you steal our great motivational word "believe"? USA sports has full ownership of believe and all things believe-related.

 

[y2kcanucks]

This is one game where I don't think the refs have anything to do with it.

You can tell they almost DONT want to call anything but Canada is making it so blatant.

This.

The refs have been good.

 

[Aceonfire*]

Can we make Morin-Heatherington a pair since they're not playing abysmal, and leave Bowey-Hicketts for Russia's 4th line? Please?

Morin? You mean the guy that took the stupid tripping penalty?

 

[Canucks LB]

This is a penalty.. even in the NHL.. so obviously it would be in the IIHF. Not seen in the gif is Virtanen reading the play from behind the net and building up speed to just run this guy. He could have made a smart play and just used the body a little bit and gotten the puck, but no, he had to run the guy.

Thats a beautiful hit

 

[Derrty]

How many giveaways so far for Canada? This game is like watching my Leafs play.
