GDT: Gold Medal Game - February 25 - Russia vs Germany

[Fantomas]

Would he still be Tampa Bay's property or a free agent?

Vegas property.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Neither team deserves to win

Hope the power goes out at the arena or something and it's just cancelled

Huh??

 

[Peiskos]

I wonder how Ovie feels watching his country potentially win gold and he could have been part of it.

Ovechkins true dream has always been to win Olympic Gold against Crosby and company.

 

[Matt24]

That German fan praying is literally me and I don't have an ounce of German in me.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Neither team deserves to win

Hope the power goes out at the arena or something and it's just cancelled

A slugfest like the juniors Russia-Canada game in the 80es where they had to turn the ligth out

 

[PG Canuck]

Huh??

Have to wonder if some fans are even hockey fans

 

[KPower]

But his country won't win gold. It doesn't count for Russia.

It will count for them and for the country.

You think Russia gives a f*** about the IOC?

 

[Fantomas]

I think a team or two or three will make Vegas a trade offer for Gusev. If they don't want Russians they can deal him.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

I know the Germans will not be happy with silver at this point. Giving up a short handed goal in the last minute.. Ugh.. Really hope they win this..

 

[Braunbaer]

I wonder how Ovie feels watching his country potentially win gold and he could have been part of it.

What happened to his bold announcment that he'd play in the Olympics anyway?

 

[kingsholygrail]

It will count for them and for the country.

You think Russia gives a **** about the IOC?

They can pretend all they want. It won't count.

 

[varsaku]

There's a thread about it if you're interested.

Haha, I guess I was not the only one thinking about it.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Really hope Germany wins

 

[Fantomas]

They can pretend all they want. It won't count.

Thank you for your opinion, random guy.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Thank you for your opinion, random guy.

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. What's an opinion is "Well I'm gonna count it anyway." That's fine. Make believe is something we all engage in to cope with life.

 

[just22]

Absolutely terrible hockey with piss poor goaltending.

"Best gold medal game!"

Are you kidding me? I guess if you like shit hockey.

 

[varsaku]

What happened to his bold announcment that he'd play in the Olympics anyway?

He could go since IIHF prevented teams from picking NHL players due to NHL not wanting to release their players

 

[hobbsie93]

Would he still be Tampa Bay's property or a free agent?

Property of Vegas

 

[Canuckistani]

Ovechkins true dream has always been to win Olympic Gold against Crosby and company.

Poor Ovie has never won a meaningful game vs Crosby.

2005 WJC, 2010 Olympics, 2015 WHC, 2016 World Cup, Playoff losses in 2009, 2016, 2017.

 

[KPower]

Really hope Germany wins

Pretty much anyone that's not Russian is cheering for the underdog.

 

[Fantomas]

It's not an opinion. It's a fact.

LOL, what's a fact. The Unified Team won in 1992. Everyone counts that result as Russia/Soviet Union.

 

[PG Canuck]

Absolutely terrible hockey with piss poor goaltending.

"Best gold medal game!"

Are you kidding me? I guess if you like **** hockey.

Piss poor goaltending? Lol guess you haven’t been watching Aus Den Birken and this game very long.

 

[Barrie22]

Care to explain why?

This is just way more exciting of hockey.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

We need a German to harness his inner Mario Götze! TOR! Bitte

 

[eviohh26]

Battle of the crappy goal tending!
