GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • USA vs. Russia

[M.C.G. 31]

I just tuned in and I'm shocked at the score.

 

[Leafidelity]

These Russian kids are allergic to the slot

 

[llwyd]

Is Vinnerborg there? This somehow feels that he might be refereeing...

 

[FinPanda]

Lol Vinnerborg is ref in this game. He is the worst. I feel you.

 

[Jaykay]

Not sure what else Larkin was supposed to do there.

 

[Machinehead]

I just tuned in and I'm shocked at the score.

Well you spend literally half the period short handed....

 

[JoeyBeans]

Hockey Streams why you do this to me.

 

[DaveH]

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk and right now it feels good that Russian beating up USA

Oh, you thought I cared more for one of the teams.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

This also.

You know the politics behind it all. You understand it, but then don't at all. They obviously have to promote their product. But it's at the expense of winning

 

[cska78]

Kamenev is so overrated, still very raw

 

[Spinkis]

Shameful display of diving. Yikes.

Please, what do you expect the refs to do when Larkin jumps in the crease?

 

[gphr513]

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk and right now it feels good that Russian beating up USA

Just don't go away if the USA dominates the second period and gets back in the game

 

[Chara-3]

He jumped over a defenseman on the ground. He had nowhere to go.

This, and his hand pushed Russian goalie just to gain the stability

 

[stokes84]

5 Russian PPs. Russian diving team is dominant.

 

[NyQuil]

Gotta give Larkin credit - he's everywhere.

 

[arsmaster*]

He jumped over a defenseman on the ground. He had nowhere to go.

Stop skating. That's the simple reply.

 

[shortshorts]

US posters have to stop complaining. Your team isn't playing well or smart.

One call was questionable (toe pick not a dive). The rest have been legit.

 

[FinPanda]

Is Vinnerborg there? This somehow feels that he might be refereeing...

I had the same feeling!

 

[Jaykay]

Please, what do you expect the refs to do when Larkin jumps in the crease?

He didn't, goalie was outside the crease.

 

[SimplySensational]

Looked like a penalty to me.

Errr he jumped over a jackass laying on the ice and not playing hockey and caught the goalies arm who was standing outside the crease. No matter what happened there, he's colliding with the goalie because the jackass on the ice.

 

[McOvechking]

Anything but jump? You leave your feet, you might as well hang a sign around your neck that says "call a penalty on me, plz"

Agreed. It was a careless play by Larkin.

 

[DearOldUncleTony]

If Hanifin gets a penalty for that...

 

[Fantomas]

These Russian kids are allergic to the slot

It's just bad hockey from both sides so far.

 

[Ralonzo]

Shameful display of diving. Yikes.

If it's being rewarded, there's no incentive to stop. And it hasn't...

 

[Konnan511]

Did that Russian player just nut punch Larkin after the whistle?
