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

[Stive Morgan]

Absolutely terrible hockey with piss poor goaltending.

"Best gold medal game!"

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

I like exciting hockey. Watching boring defensive battles where they're just whacking sticks in the neutral zone and there's a stoppage every 10 seconds gets old pretty fast.

 

[KPower]

I'm nervous as f*** and have no dog in this fight...I know Russians and Germans feel though.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Huh??

Have to wonder if some fans are even hockey fans

Never seen a game with unforced errors this bad. I'm sure it's entertaining if you don't have a horse in the race.

This game will be better than any NHL game this season

 

[Captain Bowie]

Thank you for your opinion, random guy.

Ummmm, we're all just "random guy" here.

If this is shit hockey then I guess I like shit hockey.

 

[NyQuil]

The Germans are rattled.

This will end quick I think.

Any American or Canadian knows the feeling after the 2010 Gold Medal Game

 

[Daeni10]

I can't believe we f***ed that up

 

[danron1376]

forgot it was 4on4. should be good. hope there's no random penalty call by the refs but you never know being international hockey

 

[Canuckistani]

Here comes the Russian winner...

I watched the first two periods, thanks bud. Russian barely had any quality chances until the third.

And all those goals were terrible.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

This is intense!

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Keep the world cup of hockey for the best on best, stuff like this is what builds hockey in other nations.

 

[Gnome17]

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.

So snarky..If the players and fans are as happy and proud as they would be if they won it in their normal russian jerseys, who cares about what the record books say?

 

[Fantomas]

I am not ready for this.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

I'm not sure of the rules here or the standard by which this game is being called, but I feel like ever since Germany's 3rd goal, Russia has been getting away with committing a ton of borderline penalties.

 

[Stive Morgan]

This game will be better than any NHL game this season

Major junior, international, and at times NCAA are usually more entertaining than NHL hockey in my opinion personally

 

[The Moose]

Is this sudden death OT?

 

[BerSTUzzi]

Deutschland vor, noch ein Tor

 

[JoemAvs]

4on4 heavily favors the Russians..

Too bad that we couldn't hang on...

Great game, though!

 

[egelband]

Is this sudden death?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Is this sudden death OT?

Is there any other kind?

 

[Albatros]

4 vs 4 doesn't suit Germany at all, need a fluke fast.

Wouldnt it be funny if Germany won olympic gold, but werent allowed to participate in the World Cup?
Its not a true international best on best tournament, its an NHL stunt.
