[wonton15]

Imagine Gusev on Tampa Bay this year... jeez

Sore loser much??

I didn’t lose, I just don’t like Russia.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Wow. What an epic gold medal game. Fantastic.

 

[tntkid]

Germany had that game in a bag in regulation with less than a minute to go on a powerplay.

Epic choke job.

A stacked Russian team could barely beat them.

 

[Eisen]

I should be happy for Silver, instead I'm mad at Seidenberg.
Congratulations to Russia, 4 vs 4 they exposed us.

 

[Alwalys]

Yanis Varoufakis would disagree.

wow that is a really nerdy joke

 

[Fantomas]

When is the damn medal ceremony? I don't care about the tragically hip, whatever that is.

 

[Firsov99]

The play-by-play guy on NBCSN has just a said that Russia has matched Canada in the number of Olympic gold medals

 

[GermanNuck]

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

LET ME LASH OUT WE LOST!!!!

 

[Stive Morgan]

Regardless the Germans should be incredibly proud of their performance. I will definitely be watching more DEL games now.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Kaprizov and Gusev are treasures among scrubs. They saved this tournament for Russia.

Don't overexaggerate, plenty of our players contributed. Kovalchuk scored many goals, Datsyuk was the 2nd key factor in this game, Koshechkin was generally solid in net.

 

[Sam Spade]

It's hard to win when everyone expects you to. Good on Russia for getting it done.

Silver medal is pretty awesome for Germany as well.

 

[AHall88]

Lots of salt here, shouldn't be that surprising though.

 

[BMOK33]

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

The officials here are just awful

 

[Summer Rose]

That was depressing.

 

[Fantomas]

Don't overexaggerate, plenty of our players contributed. Kovalchuk scored many goals, Datsyuk was the 2nd key factor in this game, Koshechkin was generally solid in net.

Koshechkin is an abortion.

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.

Sure, let's play the U-20 in the World Cup... bet you'd be singing a different tune when Honduras faces Peru for the big banana.

Look, I get it, in a country where a German becoming pope is a reason for celebration ("WIR SIND PAPST!") making it to the finals of a tournament that is on a C-level quality they took a B-level team into overtime. Congrats!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Just happy it wasn’t Kovalchuk to score it.

Agreed. f*** that clown

 

[Captain Bowie]

Prove 'em!

Huh? Prove what?

 

[heynowbababooey]

I wonder what Ovechkin is thinking right now

He's thinking "I'm glad the NHL wasn't there because we wouldn't have even made it to the medal round."

 

[Alex K]

I wonder what Ovechkin is thinking right now

He's happy for the guys

 

[IamNotADancer]

Regardless the Germans should be incredibly proud of their performance. I will definitely be watching more DEL games now.

Don't expect too much.

 

[Sevendust]

This loss will haunt those German players forever

Absolutely not. They won olympic silver in hockey. Germany?! Silver?! It's friggen' awesome

 

[OrrNumber4]

That flop at the end of the third is going to haunt Germany for a long time.

Marco Sturm might get an NHL coaching gig out of this.

Everyone crowing about Datsyuk joining the triple gold club...I mean, I don't put much stock in this medal and the WC medals because they aren't close to best-on-best.
