[SimplySensational]

So why isn't Komarov getting a penalty?

 

[FinRuutu]

Haula stop diving!

Cross check to head/neck... "diving".

 

[Neinri]

YES best start ever I think. Already loving it. If we score the first one, russia will loose it

 

[Jaan]

And The Big Ape cross-checks Haula...

 

[Eye of Ra]

russia is physical and gritty, as always. cant belive some thinks they are soft. by far the most physical euro team.

 

[Acquizitor*]

oh god, they are provoking Malkin.

nothing releases his beast mode more effectively than having a near fight.

go Geno

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Heated already!!

 

[Den]

The crowd reacts to "Lukashenko". They love their president!

 

[WinTheRightGames]

I think Jere won't let Malkin forget that.

 

[psycho_dad*]

More cross checking from Malkin after the faceoff and refs don't have the balls to put the big star in the box.

 

[TheStinger]

Well, that escalated quickly.

 

[failedsaucerpass]

oh god, they are provoking Malkin.

nothing releases his beast mode more effectively than having a near fight.

go Geno

provoking malkin? he crosschecks to the head is provoking him?

 

[PTmbp13]

go finland!!!!!!!!

 

[Padawan]

That was nasty cross check by Malkin. The rule applies: what the refs won't see, goes. So, enter Komarov.

 

[m4tt145]

This is getting out of hand.

 

[Urgi]

GO FINLAND, pls beat those dirty russians!

 

[Eye of Ra]

nice game

 

[Neinri]

It is Komarov time

 

[suomi12]

Cross-checking to the head, no penalty?

 

[FastViktorFasth]

Love this game

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Malkin should have been assessed a 5 minute major. Refs too scared to call one on Putin's team?

 

[SimplySensational]

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

 

[psycho_dad*]

What did Salomaki do in that situation to get a penalty? Should have been only the russian.

 

[m4tt145]

PP Finland !

 

[TheStinger]

Chudinov did far worse than Burmistrov in that and he got away with it.
