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

[c9777666]

Guess Russia can only win gold when they have a different version of their team instead of plain old Russia (Unified Team in 1992, OAR here)

 

[Firsov99]

Germany can be very proud of itself. What a battle! Congrats to Russia!

 

[Wendelstache]

German has the hockey world's respect.

Great run ...

[Stive Morgan]

Knew it was over once the OAR went on the powerplay.

 

[heynowbababooey]

1st star of the game for russia should be the NHL.

 

[Rare Jewel]

People talk about shootouts ending games...

 

[Bizz]

Divin' Datsyuk embellishing like he has his whole damn career.

 

[Firsov99]

Germans stick was on Russians players shaft of stick and Russian lifted his own stick forcing other one up into his own face but German should have more control.

This is not what I saw on the replay.

 

[Peiskos]

So they will now be raising 3 flags, but only 2 of them are actual country flags with Canada and Germany, forever the history books will always show the third flag as a white Olympic flag, not Russia's.

Quite an embarrassing legacy of illegal doping, cheating and a tournament completely devoid of the worlds best hockey players, that is the lasting legacy that will forever overshadow this tournament.

Thanks Bettman!

 

[Vipers31]

Grats to the Olympic Athletes. Can't believe it came down to us, Germany, blowing it late, to not win a gold medal. Argh.

 

[GermanNuck]

Give it a break guys. Germany took it to gold medal OT. Come back complaining when Russia or Canada do the same in football. This is historic.

 

[c9777666]

A mostly interesting tournament ends with a joyless gold for a joyless team.

The team few wanted to win won.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Well.. It was a beautiful dream and the silver medal is still one hellish accomplishment!

Congrats to Russia!

 

[1specter]

This loss will haunt those German players forever

 

[Fantomas]

Grab that flag.

Grab that flag.

Grab That Flag.

GRAB THAT FLAG.

 

[Puck possession wins]

Datsyuk is now the newest member of the Triple Gold Club

 

[Captain Bowie]

Congrats OAR, it's a shame you (hopefully) won't be able to defend your hockey gold in 4 years.

 

[Claypool]

I watched approximately 2 minutes of this entire tournament.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Nope. It was a German player's stick.

He ment the Russian who got the stick in his face, chipped Reimer's stick up I think

 

[BMOK33]

That is the first time since the Nashville/Chicago game in 2010 I think where I saw a team win a playoff or tournament game tying it shorthanded in the last minute

 

[Fantomas]

Congrats OAR, it's a shame you (hopefully) won't be able to defend your hockey gold in 4 years.

Prove 'em!

 

[Alex K]

We were only team to beat OAR lol

Is there a special medal for that? )

 

[Xokkeu]

This reminds me of the women’s gold medal game in Sochi. Stupid penalties deciding game game

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I did not plan on having this much fun watching this game, thanks Germany for not getting blown out and proving that you were not a fluke
