GDT: Gold Medal Game | Canada vs. Russia

[canadianmagpie]

I guess it's already been overcome.. even before the final game.

I googled it, Canada's record in the NHL player era was 57 before this game. Didn't say what the IIHF record was, though I agree with the other poster in saying that the Soviet teams probably ran up the scores.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah what a pp from Russia

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

What a game for giroux

 

[Sentinel]

Gosh, Kovalchuk sucks.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Omg that ****ing penalty music. Ahhhhhhhh

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Well done Giroux

 

[CH25]

KHL > Canada right?

 

[Gritty]

LOL Russia!

 

[Davebo*]

isn't Putin on the bench? his 8 goals may come in handy now

What a farce that was...

 

[JABEE]

Giroux is a king among men

 

[Kharkov]

KHL > Canada right?

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Seriously guys. How the hell did Giroux know that he was there? That was unbelievable

That, folks, is elite vision and hockey IQ on full display.




And he draws a penalty while on the PK.

 

[jdatb]

haha refs are weawring funny clothes

 

[Striiker]

Giroux coming up massive when it matters. What a monster game so far.

 

[admire]

I like smith's playmaking with the puck more then Fleury.

I don't think we would lose with either goalie tho 2bh. Fleury had a good year, but he still scares me

I'm not sure you would lose with me as a goalie....

 

[Mike8]

Does anyone have a stream?

 

[ItWasJustified]

Bernier, Luongo, Ward, Reimer?

Huh? Ward and Reimer? Would say that the best goalies from Canada are Price and Bernier with Luongo a bit behind.

 

[Paxon]

About Mike Smith, to be fair he actually closed out the season very well. As a Sabres fan, I watched plenty of Coyotes games rooting for them to win. He definitely turned his game around I want to say after the trade deadline?

 

[blendini]

Todd McLellan can't wait to win something again


The roster supremacy of Canada really shows in this year's tournament.

Great stuff nonetheless!

And then you look at all the guys that aren't in the tourney. Canada could probably enter another team and still win gold.

 

[mattcookefan]

KHL > Canada right?

who said that

 

[BB88]

I'm no Crosby fan(boy) but...

Goal in the Olympic final
Goal in another Olympic final
Goal in the Worlds final


Haters gonna hate

So you are telling us he can't score in big games

I was amazed how our finnish announcers thought Canada isn't the favourite in this tournament, that roster is amazing and they are showing that.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

That's unfair. The guy came on a 48-hour notice after playing two seven-game series. He obviously cares.

I love Ovi, I'm just saying, it's just the world championships here. He's already won gold 2-3 times. He just came off a devastating game 7 loss and travelled to Prague immediately after.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Bernier, Luongo, Ward, Reimer?

i only give luongo the clear edge over mike smith.

plus smith has history with hockey Canada and a year on a pitiful arizona team isn't gonna change that.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Great work by G.

 

[Sentinel]

No team play at all.
