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

[just22]

This game will be better than any NHL game this season

Haha. No.

 

[The Moose]

Is there any other kind?

Well, soccer has fixed length OT. Wasn't sure what the rules are here.

 

[Cold Medicine]

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.

You can't just say he's never won a meaninful game against Crosby when two of those series went to 7 games.

 

[Captain Bowie]

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.

That would be funny, as well as a lot of other things.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Is there any other kind?

Slow death overtime

 

[Daeni10]

This game will be better than any NHL game this season

I mean if you are a Canucks Fan I guess

 

[PG Canuck]

Haha. No.

Name a better game

 

[Fantomas]

Kiselevich is very bad.

Also the Germans have a player named Bowser?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Well, soccer has fixed length OT. Wasn't sure what the rules are here.

Hockey is always sudden death in OT, I've never seen anything different.

 

[PG Canuck]

I mean if you are a Canucks Fan I guess

Not the only team I watch. This game has had everything though.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I'm calling a Mozyakin OT goal.

 

[Canuckistani]

You can't just say he's never won a meaninful game against Crosby when two of those series went to 7 games.

OK, he's never won a game vs Crosby that decided anything.

 

[Revelation]

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.

It's gonna count for OAR which is Russia. Bureaucratic asterisk following a politicized witch hunt doesn't stop Russia from being Russia.

You seem like you're having some trouble coping with life honestly

 

[egelband]

Just my two cents, but i think it’s ridiculous these players who did nothing wrong may not represent Russia in an official manner. How sad. I hope the OAR wins.

 

[The Moose]

Haha. No.

Better when it comes to intensity, emotion, and importance, not skill.

 

[Fantomas]

Zub-Zubarev pairing is pure undistilled guano.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

Well the Germans are the best in the World at winning WC Fussball SO and is clearly a transferable skill to hockey.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Name a better game

If you enjoy halfway competent goaltending and situational awareness, it'd be hard to name a worse game.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Better when it comes to intensity, emotion, and importance, not skill.

Skill level does not equate excitement level.

 

[egelband]

Is there any other kind?

Yes. They can play another period. I’m assuming that’s not the case tho. So, thanks. Sort of.

 

[Sentinel]

Kovalchuk is useless

 

[Captain Bowie]

Yes. They can play another period. I’m assuming that’s not the case tho. So, thanks. Sort of.

Has that ever happened in a hockey game, ever?

 

[IamNotADancer]

If you enjoy halfway competent goaltending and situational awareness, it'd be hard to name a worse game.

I'm in both boats here. This is terrible hockey, but it IS exciting... I'd still prefer to watch some good movie over Sharknado.

 

[Daeni10]

Not the only team I watch. This game has had everything though.

Yeah it is entertaining to watch but to some extend its because so much is on the line. Nothing better than NHL Playoffs especially when it's your team playing

 

[The Moose]

Germans should try to win this in OT. If it gets to shootout Russians are way more skilled individually.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Kovy so close
