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

[illpucks]

Was hoping Magic man would get it.

That Kovalchuk breakaway tho. He should have sealed it

 

[Hutz]

Ahhh, too bad. At least Germany is the #1 country. Hold your heads high boys!

 

[Hadoop]

Crazy game, crazy tournament, crazy olympics.

Congrats to OAR. Thrilled to see Datsyuk finally join the Triple Gold Club.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

This loss will haunt those German players forever

Yes it absolutely will.

 

[Bizz]

Datsyuk is now the newest member of the Triple Gold Club

flopped his way to this one too.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Congratulations to Russia for winning the most tainted gold medal in Olympic hockey history.

 

[Fantomas]

That Kovalchuk breakaway tho. He should have sealed it

That was crazy. I was beginning to think Russia was cursed.

 

[c9gunner]

So happy for Pavel.

 

[Ingvar]

Congrats Germany, you were a tough opponent, frankly thought you were going to win in 3rd period.

Znarok should be fired, Germany shouldn't be a tough opponent.

Suck it, "neutral" fans.

Woo, Russia, I'm relieved)

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Congrats rush-b, you let Germany do all the heavy lifting and NHL get you that gold, pathetic celebrations from pathetic people in a tournament that meant nothing. Congrats paddles enjoy your national anthem... oh wait, haha you can’t. Pass the syringes.

Sore loser much??

 

[AHall88]

I watched approximately 2 minutes of this entire tournament.

Your loss.

 

[Jussi]

wins it.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

This tournament was tainted by the NHL not allowing the disciplines very best to play.

It was like that football movie The Replacements only with Olympic hockey instead.

 

[Hutz]

OAR had only one d-man out there on the PP? He seemed pretty talented. Can anyone explain why he's not playing in the NHL right now?

 

[Master P]

flopped his way to this one too.

Its fitting that you have a picture of Joe Thornton as your avatar and call other players floppers.

 

[karlstegger]

Feeling bad for my German neighbors. But what a run, great run for them even though it stings right now.

 

[Captain Bowie]

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.

Give what a break? Everyone seems extremely happy and complimentary of what Germany accomplished here.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

The Problem is after this game only Hours till ending Ceremony. That means there is no space for 2-3 Hours more double triple 20 Min OT. Thats why.

It may be true in this case, but let's not pretend this isn't standard international hockey. I think it's something that has to go in these games as a whole.

Great game!

 

[illpucks]

If Kovalchuk had ended it on that rush it would have been epic

 

[ryan callahan]

Reimer's high stick wasn't even a penalty. Datsyuk literally lifted his stick.

 

[Autism]

I wonder what Ovechkin is thinking right now

 

[PG Canuck]

Just happy it wasn’t Kovalchuk to score it.

 

[EvilDead]

Valiant effort from the Germans. Shame it came down to a powerplay goal, but they have nothing to be ashamed of. They competed with some of the best players in the world and were neck and neck with them. Also, Marco Sturm was a great coach of that team.

 

[nickp91]

What a tournament by the Germans. Superb coaching job by Marco Sturm.

 

[Fantomas]

Ahhh, too bad. At least Germany is the #1 country

Yanis Varoufakis would disagree.

 

[SirKillalot]

Almost the biggest upset in hockey since 1980. Germany played really well.

So happy for Datsyuk winning an Olympic Gold!
