[Namejs]

There she blows

 

[ellja3]

Absolutely unnecessary penalty, not sure why Kulda thought he would get away with it.

 

[GX]

Are u kidding? Cibulskis had all the time and space in the world to hand the stick legally, no, you must shit your pants.

 

[Peter25]

Just bench Ovechkin and Kovalchuk already! They are bringing this team down.

Those last two penalties, the level of stupidity, is baffling.

 

[RobRayzor]

7 shots for us so far,that's embarrassing,even if it's a game against Russia. Need to shoot from everywhere.

haha,Indrašis tried to pull a Grandlund on Russians,good try

 

[GX]

I believe Russian team is aware of who Indrasis is and what could he attempt, while behind the net..

 

[Peter25]

Latvians can play. Ovechkin doesn't look like an asset for the Russians.

He has sucked in the national team for the last 5 years at least. He is a great liability on the ice for Russia. He can't play neither defense or offense.

Man, Ovy's lip looks bad. I think he can't speak properly.

 

[RobRayzor]

He has sucked in the national team for the last 5 years at least. He is a great liability on the ice for Russia. He can't play neither defense or offense.

Is he on the team just because of his NHL fame then? Or is he more powerful than the coach,who won't bench him?

I don't know. I would not have picked him to the team if I were the coach. His NHL merits should not count in the national team if he sucks this much playing for Russia.

 

[RobRayzor]

That's one lucky goal,aye

 

[shtorm2005]

Kucherov! 3-1

 

[jonas2244]

This has to be a major penalty.

 

[GX]

IIHF is a joke.

 

[Namejs]

Clear checking to the head

And no penalty?

What the f***

 

[RobRayzor]

What,no penalty on orlov? What is this

 

[shtorm2005]

I like a lot Orlov, but it's a clear headshot.

 

[GX]

If refereeing is so useless, how about enabling coach's challenge for major penalties or lack of them in IIHF tournaments?

 

[jonas2244]

This is a disgrace.

 

[ellja3]

Why even have refs on the ice if they cannot call a clear headshot, for f---'s sake

 

[HeartAttack]

clear 5+10...IIHF taking examples from NHL with blind refrees?

 

[WeAre]

Putin and Brown envelopes

they need VAR like in football,a video referee who passes info down to the ref right away - if it's a major penalty or something.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Nice goal from Kucherov to Dadonov to Gusev. It's not a coincidence, these guys lead Team Russia in scoring at the tournament.
