GDT: Gold Medal Game | Canada vs. Russia

[Snippit]

This is why I kept making Ennis polls, guys!

 

[Divine]

I know Smith had back to back shutouts, but I have 0 confidence in him watching him in Arizona this year.

Did every other Canadian goalie reject the offer?

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Haha what a goal. Would Ennis even make Canada's B team for the Olympics?

 

[JayKing]

Since when has Ennis been good?

Since when has he not? He's a very solid top 6 player. ~20 goals. ~50 pts.

Its interesting to see Canadian people change theyre minds about bigger ice surface... Igor Larionov was right in saying Crosbys and co are product of the fast and skill game that the red army played... back in those days Canadians were outmatched nowadays they have catched up because the standard set by team Red Army. Back in the day canadians accepted the dirty Broad street bullies way and considered that the correct style of hockey everyone cheering for them buth truth is soviets were miles ahead in skill and speed etc. So its ironic that the style canadians didnt like of soviets is now admired as the preferred model.

its almost as if the sport has evolved or something

Is this real life?

 

[Tripod]

4th line goals!! haha.

Yup...who needs the stars.

Ennis is one player that would benefit form bigger ice. That speed and mobility

 

[Nakawick]

hamhuis is such a steady player, has the guy had one bad shift this entire tournament?

Hamhuis, OReilly and Couturier have all had excellent tournaments.

 

[Sentinel]

Canada is just faster

All the small, agile players would benefit from a bigger ice surface because there would be less hitting.

 

[Daisy Jane]

it's like team canada wants to go watch the Chicago/Ducks game. such a fast pace.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

i dont think the speed of this game has anything to do with the ice size, it has more to do with the speed of both teams.... you have two offensive and fast teams with offensive dcores, thats why it is like this, not because the boards are wider...

 

[Nakawick]

I almost hope Russia gets the next one for entertainment purposes.

Canada doesn't play a Soviet style.

 

[JayKing]

Malkin should've passed.

 

[MaHCK]

Some people are always critisizing Smith here although he makes such a good job in the playoffs so far

 

[ItWasJustified]

Damn those two counterattacks by both teams

 

[BigBen]

Ovie is like "wtf are you doing Malkin you idiot"

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Looks like Canada work up this period

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

How did Geno and Ovi miss that ?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice pass to a wide open Ovechkin by Geno.
