GDT: May 7 • USA vs. Belarus

[William H Bonney]

Shades of that penalty against Team USA in the Women's Olympic gold medal game.

Slashing a goalie on their leg pads is so dangerous, ya know. Ugh.

I have no problem with penalizing players for blatantly whacking away at the goalie long after the whistle but the IIHF is too hypersensitive. Lewis makes a reactionary attempt for a rebound that the goalie grabs almost simultaneously as the whistle goes. That should be a penalty. Not that it matters anyway since our PP has been dreadful. Can we please stop the drop pass from our own side of the ice that is so painfully telegraphed it does nothing?

 

[GPF]

Clearly on a level below Larkin.

I will continue my bs bashing if he answers like this a couple more times in the third

 

[Claypool]

Need Steve Moses back.

 

[ViD]

Man, Belarus is good this year

 

[Dirty but Good]

Wtf can they blow that dead?

 

[WaltWhitman]

Game over if they score on this

 

[mattcookefan]

cant blame the goalie for that

 

[Zaddy]

Perfect tip-in by Smith. 3-2! ...oh wait wrong net.

 

[KlichkoBro*]

1st power-play goal for Belarus at the WC!!!

Thank you, Mr. Eichel, for the hook.

 

[QnebO]

USA #12 tipped it in trying to cut the pass. Did this team win us? Holy ****

 

[Eco]

Well - we've lost this one. Embarrassing performance.

 

[mattcookefan]

people arent giving belarus enough credit. if they were wearing a different jersey people would be giving them the respect they deserve for this performance

 

[MrClutch86]

RIP my vcash. All of it

Americans did everything to make Belarus weaker. NJD and NYI didn't allow Grabovsky and Hrabarenka to come over.

It's a bit weird really, considering that Malkin was allowed to go.

 

[Jakk123]

Well, guess we are done

 

[Like Wall]

Why, America? Why do you always disappoint me in hockey?

 

[kihei]

The States needed that. Lots of time left.

 

[Eco]

Nice one Krug. We got one back...

4:2 Belarus

Oh geeze. This is some tinfoil hat stuff right here.

There's no way this team should be taken lightly. It was clear they've been in pretty good form leading up to this game and they've carried that forward after surviving the first ten minutes.

It's embarrassing how this team let the game get away from them over five minutes in the second but at least USA is showing good fight.

 

[New User Name]

I don't know but I sure wouldn't bet against the US coming back.

and Jack Eichel...such a cerebral player. and he's only 18.

 

[Chileiceman]

Oh my gosh announcer just say Neftekhimik

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Is there a box score somewhere for this game? Your posts don't make this game easy to follow lol

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

US should consider bringing in a winger and replacing Vesey on Eichel's line. Team badly needs to get going offensively.
