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

[Czech Yourself Pal]

Alright Russia put these yanks to bed.

 

[Crosbyfan]

You're Finnish?

Just getting Startted...

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Eichel if we ever needed you more than ever it's right now.

 

[Freudian]

If there were more U-S-A chants, perhaps the momentum will change. But you can't just do it once or twice, you have to do it for at least five minutes straight.

US will come back and win this game

 

[Fantomas]

Russian coaches at it again, refusing to use the best possible special teams on the PP and just running the ordinary lines, with guys that do not belong on a PP and killing it as a result for everyone else.

For some reasons, Provorov on the other hand doesn't seem to be considered good enough to manage the blueline on the PP.

Yes, maddening. Bragin's lustre is coming off.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Russia does look more focused and determined to win and you can tell that they have come prepared. USA looks the opposite, they look nervous and on edge and that is why they keep Malung misstakes. Hopefully they talk things through during the break so they can re-focus and we'll see a game.

Lol, our team played like a bunch of disabled people. Yeah, they scored 2, but it said more about US team, than Russia

Way to ignore the world juniors. He said international play, not the Olympics.

We beat you over 80% of the time at the WJR's. You are being silly.

 

[CarlWinslow]

Gee. I guess he was in the crease after all. The whining about that call can probably stop.

 

[Alexandrov]

He wasn't in the crease...goalie outside the paint...bad call made by the ref 80 feet away

In the light of the pic above, I want to call you out on this.

 

[JFG]

Larkin with the dive

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Was Adam Erne not good enough for the team this year? 1.5 PPG in the Q right now, always seems to be dangerous when I see him live.

For whatever reason Erne has never shown up when wearing the red, white, and blue. It wasn't exactly an arbitrary decision to cut him. That said, a lot of these bubble players that were picked (i.e. Wood, De Leo, Louis, etc.) have been terrible and it leaves you wondering if the US thought they were too smart for their own good.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

US will come back and win this game

Yup.

 

[aphyro]

wtf has happening... Russia just stand still lol

 

[cska78]

PRovorov is 97, I am shocked Bragin even took him on the team

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Larkin buried from
Behind lol no call

 

[landy92mack29]

nice giveaway by eichel

 

[Get North]

Wait what?

He said 3 out of 5 calls were legit then he saw the goaltender interference and that's legit. All those were legit, he isn't saying 5/5 are legit it's not that hard to understand.

 

[Unknown Caller]

I don't get the DeAngello hate. He hasn't been bad and he certainly hasn't been the worst defenseman on US.

I can't stand him. Nice offensive tools, but he makes way too many careless mistakes.

 

[Fantomas]

Russia looks like they're on their way to a 40-minute even-strength penalty kill.

 

[Konnan511]

Just getting Startted...

Czech yourself before you wreck yourself.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Well would you look at that

 

[Ralonzo]

Another weak call.

 

[cska78]

5 on 5 we are pretty bad

 

[ViCiieux]

What a stupid penalty.
