[Fantomas]

Huh? Prove what?

Prove. 'Em.

 

[Alwalys]

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

you know shit about shit.

 

[Braunbaer]

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

Toews did it against the Canucks in game 7 in 2011.

 

[Jayan]

Imagine Gusev on Tampa Bay this year... jeez

VGK owns hos rights.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

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

Where did you see embellishment in that final penalty? It was a high stick.

 

[Privet]

Is CBC not showing the Russians celebrate or post game? What gives

 

[canuckster19]

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

How many best on best tournaments have you won? One?!?! Back in 1981?!??! Dayum.

 

[GermanNuck]

Sure, let's play the U-20 or 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!

Don't know which country you are from but I'm pretty sure our U-20 would whoop your butt in Football.

 

[EvilDead]

Hopefully, even in defeat, this game can inspire more Germans to pick up the game of hockey.

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

Are you watching Canadian TV?

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Your loss.

You have to hand it to him. He is also a sore winner^^

 

[PG Canuck]

Agreed. **** that clown

Can’t wait until he gets rejected from coming into the best league in the world again

 

[S E P H]

You had a powerplay with 30 seconds remaining and couldn't close it out. Completely unacceptable.

Just kills me to see Germany lose.

 

[KLM-Line]

It's official. I will hate and be very misangonist to every Russian I m'm gonna meet. Sad times

 

[Fantomas]

Is CBC not showing the Russians celebrate or post game? What gives

Of course not. They were cheering for the master race.

 

[Eisen]

wins it.

A paddle?

 

[Firsov99]

NBCSN just now: "The first goal for Russia since 1992." Some people on HFBoards could have a heart attack from this statement.

 

[GermanPanther]

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

Even if the Video screen showed something different Refree ruled penalty. Im okay with that better so then give 4 look up take it away.

 

[Privet]

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

I don’t think CBC is showing it

 

[Master P]

you know **** about ****.

Truth hurts eh?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Very happy for Russia! But Germany showed great courage and very well thought-out play. Congrats to Germany for the Silver medal.
Go Russia!

 

[serp]

Nice to see Germany lose. Celebrated win over Canada like Gold medal (400 Canadians in NHL and only 5 Germans lol) and choked on pp 2 minutes left on the final. LOL. Deserved to lose.

I'm sorry what ? This team wasn't expected to crack top 4 even without NHL players. Of course they're gonna celebrate the win against Canada like Gold. It was not expected .

 

[c9777666]

It’s gonna be tough to find a reason to be happy for OAR winning.

I mean, even the Unified Team was put together for a different reason that was not as controversial (Basically a bunch of former Soviet countries put together for reasons that the athletes had nothing to do with )and they at least had a lot of young guys on the up and up (Kovalev, Zubov, Zhitnik, Kasparaitis) instead of a bunch of no names and a few aging ex-NHL’ers.

 

[illpucks]

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.

Not a choke job.

The Russian player who scored was smart. He picked the same corner twice because he realized the goalie was cheating
