LOL, TSN needs to stop being biased. Elbow? That's ****ing ridiculous call.

How? He came in with a flying forearm??

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Andrew Shaw is playing in this game?

He's ugly but no way uglier than Malkin

 

[Erikfromfin]

Textbook penguins discipline by Malkin there

 

[fmrdh]

Definitely a penalty IMO

 

[LaxSabre]

should be an easy win for Russia.

yeah like what happened earlier in the tournament right? oh wait - it didn't happen.

LOL, TSN needs to stop being biased. Elbow? That's ****ing ridiculous call.

That was one of the easiest elbowing calls, ever.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

That was one of the easiest elbowing calls, ever.

No intent to get the puck elbow to the back of the head.

Isn't TSN Canadian, why would they have an American bias lol

 

[Talus]

so far the college kids are doing very well

 

[Coldplay619]

Seems like they're not calling stick fouls.

Seen a lot of trips that should have been.

That was a good call.

They called it a clear elbow on Swedish TV too, if it helps.

 

[SimplySensational]

Okay, you're right. A arm on a guys back, is a elbow. Clearly.

 

[illpucks]

US seems a lot smarter in strategy. Russia has more firepower. Russian firepower with US strategy maybe could challenge Canada. But both teams as they are won't.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

That was one of the easiest elbowing calls, ever.

The ref could have taken his pick on two different elbows. Looks like he picked the 2nd one because he didn't raise his arm on the 1st.

 

[ellja3]

That was a good call.

for what it's worth, LV commentary said that it was attack on head and could had resulted in more than 2min

 

[William H Bonney]

An arm to the back?

 

[MaHCK]

Sure hope so. Russian team is pretty much their olympic team. Can't say the same for USA.

But they have a very talented team

 

[Yakushev72]

Team USA clearly got the better of the play in the first. Can't stand to listen to Ray Ferraro's crap. Panarin really said "we'll show those college boys how to play?" I think Ray is adding his normal anti-Russian spin to whatever Panarin said.

If the game continues the way it is, the US is going to use their pressure down low to start pushing some goals in. The D just can't clear the zone, much less spearhead an attack, so if it goes this way much longer, the US is going to pull ahead. They have an incredibly organized system that everyone seems to know and fit into.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Seen a lot of trips that should have been.

Should have called a dive on Panarin earlier when he flopped over Eichel's stick. Ferraro with the correct call on that embellishment.

 

[Tacoman]

The Russian guy was quoted on saying pretty much exactly what Ferraro said. No added sensationalism needed in this case.

After those first few furious minutes by the Russians, the US have carried the play ver well. Hopefully they continue this trend and grind out RUS for a trip to play the canadiens!

Q: Will you win those American students today?
A: Yes

From THAT they got that Panarin said what you just wrote Russian media, everyone

 

[SanDogBrewin]

You did not watch the play

[Drake744]

Is this on TV in the US anywhere?

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Never seen an American complain about a penalty benefitting Americans lol

"Это вообще отдельная история. Один журналист спросил: "Надо в полуфинале обыгрывать американских школьников?" Если бы я ответил "нет", то это было бы как-то странно. Естественно, сказал: "да". Затем зашел в интернет, а мне там приписали всю фразу, да еще вынесли ее в заголовок. Красиво сработали"

Rough translation: Panarin -- one journalist asked "Do we need to win the American students?" if I answered "no" that would we weird, so I said "yes". After that I went in internet and there I was assigned the whole phrase, and it was even put in header. Nice work.
