GDT: Group A - May 14 - Russia (5) vs Switzerland (1)

[BMann]

PP is a huge improvement. Shame about the final finishing and pass.

 

[Like Wall]

Lol! Swiss player just threw Russian's helmet away.

 

[allroundfan]

So much candy in one game

Go both teams!

 

[BMann]

Final passes still not finding their mark.

Missed that goal by Kuzy is there a replay somewhere?

Try the IIHF Youtube channel. Might be blocked in Canada though.

I can't believe Jerabek keeps getting chances after chances...

Sweden's 5th goal in the 2013 final, Latvia's last minute goal against Belarus in 2014, his "performance" during Switzerland-Denmark on Tuesday... This guy has no idea about the rules of hockey, time to use other referees.

Russia looking a bit rusty today. The defence isn't that bad, which is reassuring, but somehow the offense isn't clicking. The addition of Ovechkin, Kuznetsov and Orlov might've 'messed' with the line chemistry a bit. The boys need more time to adapt to their new partners. And the powerplay hasn't been impressive.

 

[shtorm2005]

thanks

great hand-eye coordination by Kuzy!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Orlov ... what a hit. Kasparitis style! Awesome.

 

[BMann]

Nasty hit. Boarding for sure.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Stupid play.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Someone tried to end Datsyuk's career.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Dirty hit, the last thing the Swiss want is a 5vs3 for Russia.

 

[BMann]

Pass the puck for fun time. No goals though....

 

[The Noot]

Sneaky Berra is sneaky

 

[The Noot]

Berra is keeping us alive rn

 

[BMann]

Lyubimov with a decent play.

 

[admire]

ovechkin is a really, really awesome and fantastic player but is it a wonder that Russia sometimes have problems performing and have reports of conflict in the lockerroom when you insist of this hero treatment?

This thing about not changing Ovechkin but everybody else on PP seems so stupid and counter productive..

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Man, if not for Berra, it would've been 4-0 for sure.

I'm not sure if it'll be a good thing for team Russia, but we'll see. I hope Ovechkin will be playing well of course, but he sometimes underperforms, that's true.

 

[RobertR]

Sometimes?

 

[The Noot]

And where is Bobrovski's minor?

 

[amikaro]

the ref did not really do a good job today. no clear line.
- berra got a minor for moving the goal - not bobrovsky
- du bois got a 10 for the crosscheck but the russian guy did not get one for his blindside in the first period
- one swiss step in the goal circle and a whistle but the russian goal counts
