GDT: Group B - May 11 - USA vs Korea

[Holden Caulfield]

If Matt Dalton can make about 70 saves or so today Korea might get their first win!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Holy shit what the f*** was that?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Did Darling let that puck go in on purpose...cause it look like so.

Oh god.. that would be the most embarrasing thing in the history of hockey.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Wait, shouldn't it be South Korea or am I missing something here?

Officially South Korea calls themselves "The Republic of Korea". Both the north and south consider themselves the rightful government for both halves of the country. So on official things they often have just Korea.

 

[Name Nameless]

Oh, you are starting Darling? Yeah. I think I have a theory.

 

[Summer Rose]

Wait, shouldn't it be South Korea or am I missing something here?

If we want to be technical, both North Korea and South Korea claim sovereignty over the entire peninsula. Their formal names are DPR (Democratic People's Republic <of>) Korea and Republic of Korea.

It's a similar situation with the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (more familiarly called Taiwan). The ROC uses the name "Chinese Taipei" in international sports.

Maybe Norway should take the game against Korea seriously

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Why did Darling move his leg just before the puck passed him.

 

[BalticWarrior]

This is ridicilous. Patrick Kane alone should be able to skate circles around this team. Seriously is american team just getting wasted after games or what?

 

[Quonis]

Okay. USA might have chance now!!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Other than the PP Korea hasn't been able to get to the neutral zone, nevermind down to the US side of the ice. This will be a blowout.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Maybe Norway should take the game against Korea seriously

Yep. Seems so.

 

[TheNip]

Watching Darling in net gives me hope I can make Team USA next year.

The DJ in the Arena must have some love problems.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Regardless of outcomes, I still think it's awesome to see South Korea here at the main tournament. Great experience for these guys that have probably never played anywhere close to this level (I know they have a few north americans on roster). Only guy I'm cheering against is Alex Plante who is a plug who was one of the worst players in my bantam AAA league that coasted on his dad's name to get an NHL contract for no reason.

'
Yeah, he's quite something.

Norwegians commentators were very much "if we don't improve, we lose against Korea" after Norways gotten shut-out for the third game in a row, so we are there already. Never underestimate. But thank's for the tip ;-).

Don't think Korean goal was so weird though. I mean, it was weird. But I have seen those kind of weird goals before. So, more sympathi for Darling if you see what I mean.

 

[Marky1999]

Tbh I am all for Korea being in the top division, its just that players like Swift and Regan make me want them to go back down. I hope that next year Korea will play without their imports, and bring some young local players to develop a good team.

 

[BalticWarrior]

First time in my life i have seen a team get too many men on the ice while in PK How is that even possible?

 

[AmericanDream]

WOOOOOOO!!!!! KANER!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!! HAHAHAHA

 

[talenttracer]

Its a part of the deal that Trump made with North Korea, they disarm if USA let them win.

 

[AmericanDream]

welcome Charlie Mac!!
