GDT: May 18 • Russia 3, Germany 0

[ViD]

it's not like his was under siege out there. i'd call it solid perfomance

no, but he did make 3-4 very solid saves when it was 0-0

 

[SimplySensational]

I don't know why Ovechkin got player of the game...

Only person deserving of player of the game was Vasilevski...

3:0 by Tikhonov.

Good showing by Germany. I wish they had played more like today in the rest of the wc.

Hope Ovechkin will be alright again.

My God, what a terrible game by Team Russia. I have not felt such disgust at this tournament. Hope it's a single game like this.

the coaching staff selects the best player award. I guess it was their gesture of support to him because he is probably seriously injured

Meaningless tournament-wise. It's okay. OVECHKIN, what the puck were you thinking to go in like that in a game like that???

 

[Domenica]

You have no idea how hilarious that sounds with your avatar picture

Hilarious? For me it's a heartache. Nothing but a heartache.

 

[Sanderson]

The refs helped Germany?
You mean when Russia got a 5-on-3 for nothing?
When Marcus Kink got a penalty out of nowhere and Müller got one that was rather questionable?
Or how about Kink getting a penalty for Ovechkin missing the puck and losing his balance with no German being involved. Heck, Kink wasn't even anywhere near him, the closest one was Seidenberg and he didn't do anything at all either. That one ended up making the difference as Russia scored on the powerplay.

The refs were atrocious all around, but they sure as hell didn't help Germany.

 

[ViD]

Now, since we clinched the group, do you think we're gonna help Belarus get into the quarters?

 

[Macman]

They just said on TSN that Ovechkin left the arena in an ambulance.

 

[MikeGillisslashAVfan*]

They just said on TSN than Ovechkin left the arena in an ambulance.

wow hope hes alright

They just said on TSN than Ovechkin left the arena in an ambulance.

That's a pity. Really. :-(

Right. How about you try to give a proper answer instead of bs like that?

these are all solid points and i actually agree with them all.

I admit 2 consecutive penalties are rarely given, But they should be according to the rulebook. Shoot the refs for playing by the rules.

When Marcus Kink got a penalty out of nowhere and Müller got one that was rather questionable?

Both 120% calls. Obviously not when you are german.

I see how you want to see it. But don't act like you expected the Germans to win it just like that. Russia gave it under 50% effort today and still won. Maybe you should stop hiring clown-coaches and give guys who know hockey(Krupp) a chance instead of complaining about the refs. German hockey is in a free fall since Krupp was gone.

That's IIHF reffing. It's the same for everybody. Germany had it's share of PPs in the game too.

They could do it on their own, they just have to beat Latvia in regulation!

But why not, Russia will probably not play 100% anyways, since it's the QF's the day after.

 

[Atas2000]

That's a pity. Really. :-(

Well, an X-ray is obligatory there. Let's hope he'll be back for training camp. I'm not pessimistic. I've seen my share of injuries. That was a knee gone.

 

[Startseva]

Ovechkin went to hospital of Minsk for survey. To judge about how bad injury is we can a bit later. aww ovie

 

[Urbanskog]

Now, since we clinched the group, do you think we're gonna help Belarus get into the quarters?

Hopefully not.

 

[pecheq]

Why were the Russian jerseys and helmets without the Megafon advert?

 

[Exarz]

Hopefully not.

I wished I could say "I know that feel", but sorry, I can't

Quarterfinals are on Thursday.

 

[teddy83]

They suspended the German player who hit Ovechkin!?! How in the blue hell you can get suspended for that???

Firstly, there is no reason for getting personal, secondly, you probably have watched a different game. Moreover, I don't see why German "is in a free fall". I just remember, there was a tournament in Sotchi, where the Russian team....
