GDT: Gold medal game CAN-RUS part 2

[Cursed Lemon]

Canada's cycle game is leagues ahead of what Russia can match. It's actually incredible. Canada is just a far better hockey country at this point.

 

[Beau Knows]

Similar to 2014 Olympics, clinical display by Canada and all the players have bought into the system. Russia is dangerous though, have to finish this off, don't let them into the game.

Coaching is also a huge difference. Canada was down 3-0 to Sweden. Calmed down and destroyed them later on.

Russia is down big and Malkin takes the puck away from his teammate before he even passes it. Doesn't pass to Ovechkin for a easy tap in. Takes a terrible penalty.

 

[RattsSSV]

Here we go.

Can't see this turning round barring some major PP opportunities for Russia.

Malkin will negate pp's by running around and taking dumb penalties.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Lets be honest though guys, anything short of gold is a disappointment for canada. they have to hang on

 

[Cellee]

I can't even remember hearing Kovalchuk's name mentioned.

 

[Paxon]

So how many people is Malkin going to spear out of frustration before this one's over? Setting the over/under at 3.5.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

What an embarrassment of a game by Russia.

It's like men vs a bunch of 6 year olds

It's not embarrassing, they're doing their best. The Canadian defense and forecheck killed them.

 

[Like Wall]

Was that necessary? Stupid penalty

 

[Angry Little Elf]

ROR in the box.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

ROR such a goon....

 

[Cassano]

Russia needs to score here.

Seems like a great teammate.

They should do better than this though, Malkin, Ovi, Kovi should have more than a few shots.

The Russian player slashed O'Reilly's stick, it breaks. Canada gets a penalty?

 

[Villert]

Two minutes for getting slashed.

 

[Microsens]

Stupid refs.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Tarasenko slashed ROR and broke his stick.

 

[Cassano]

Lol what a **** call

 

[Zybalto]

refs gonna try and help the Russians.

2 min for getting slashed lol.

 

[Divine]

[Novak Djokovic]

[luongo321]
