This is pretty funny to see. None of these Russian players act this tough in the NHL because they'd have their ass handed to them.

So many fake tough guys

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

this is pure hate relationship

 

[PTmbp13]

GO FINLAND, pls beat those dirty russians!

word. divers should not win. period.

 

[psycho_dad*]

Great reffing, Malkin gets attack along the bench by Komarov, but thats nots roughing.

Malkin should have gotten a penalty for cross checking Haula in the neck.

 

[Salming]

Go Finland! You not only represent your country, {mod}!

I hope the refs can hold up against the external pressure.

 

[agent082]

Finland had the puck!!!!!

 

[JacobBeans]

We probably wont be watching "quality hockey" tonight.

 

[Traeskalle]

Chaotic start, liking this alot

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I don't get why they stopped play their when Finland had the puck.

Can't say that about Malkin, he's always in the middle of this stuff...

Dirty or not, he's consistent.

 

[Kharkov]

I don't get why they stopped play their when Finland had the puck.

Same. Why did they stopped?

 

[mattihp]

I'd love to see Malkin close to the sideboards with Karalahti or Komarov around...

This is quality to me.

 

[Jussi]

Well that was more like a powerkill...

 

[WinTheRightGames]

I don't get why they stopped play their when Finland had the puck.

Maybe they thought Finland had too many players on the ice?

 

[SimplySensational]

He didn't cross check him. He passed the puck and Haula ran into to his stick because he is short.

 

[Eye of Ra]

this is quality hockey, like the stanley cup

 

[TheStinger]

Would many of the Finns understand Russian (playing in the KHL maybe) or would they chirp in English?

 

[psycho_dad*]

Really strange watching all this cross checking after the whistle when you remember the call on Karalahti against Canada.

 

[EvilElf63]

Gonna be a long game. :\

 

[Eye of Ra]

plotkinov died again.

 

[agent082]

I quess Mantyla isn't Malkin.

 

[m4tt145]

Oh no not Plotnikov. His career must be over now for sure.

 

[JacobBeans]

This is quality to me.

I wouldn't call this quality. More like, really high entertainment value.
