GDT: Quarterfinal - May 17 - Russia vs Canada

[MattySnipes]

McDavid vs. Everyone.

 

[Name Nameless]

Another Canada v Russia classic.

Just terrible by Kuemper.

As a Yotes fan, I will of course defend Kuemper. But the Norwegian commentators I am lissening to thought it was a great goal, and also most likely deflected of Edmonsons stick.

 

[DoubleGold]

McDavid must be gassed by now.

 

[RobRayzor]

BTW, AFAIK the OT in 1/4 finals are 10min, then shootout, however will the OT be 3 on 3 or 5 on 5?

He has been bad.

Even Ferraro said he'd probably like to have a few back - and he can be pretty diplomatic.

 

[Peiskos]

Canada seriously doesn't have better goalies? Kuemper is absolutely brutal. Canada needs to score 5-6 goals every game if they want to win.

We have better goalies none of them accepted their invites. Someone like Talbot/Jones/Smith who have helped us win 2015 and 2016 gold and 2017 silver clearly said no. We could have have Matt Murray but he clearly refused to come over.

 

[TeddyBare]

I don't think Barzal has had a shift since he had those two good scoring chances.

I have no idea what the coach is doing with these line combinations.

Barzal and hornet had some good success together

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, Russia is just firing at Kuemper from everywhere now.

 

[TeddyBare]

GTFOH

Did Kuemper seriously just kick a rebound from a center ice shot with 8 seconds left into the slot.

embarassing

Have I just watched ECHL game? No, really.
But at least it's fun

NHL D so lost on big ice. Quite funny.

NHL D so lost on big ice. Quite funny.

Except for when NHL D won 2 straight golds in this tournament in 2015, 2016.

 

[Breakers]

I'd be surprised to see the Defense jump into the play after seeing Kuemper let literally everything in.

They are definitely going to be playing tentative.

 

[jj cale]

advantage to Russia this overtime, their goaltending isn't so pourous,Canada needs to bang home the first opportunity they get, they can't allow any opportunity for russia or it's likely over.

Are quarters still 5 ot then shootout?

4 on 4 tho, ok.

Ok, studio, with Roy Johansen - former Norwegian GM- agrees with you all Kuemper should have had it, so it wasn't all of them.

 

[ViD]

Anisimov with a Malkinesque beauty to get it to OT

 

[Peiskos]

So Canada had a two goal lead and a pair one goal leads, the blame would be entirely on goaltending if they lose this game. I hope Kuemper never wears a Canadian sweater ever again. Disgrace.

The one where the goalie ducked?

 

[syz]

I feel like Ekblad has done that like a dozen times tonight. Not handling it well.

 

[DoubleGold]

What a bad play from Ekblad.

 

[NyQuil]

Light call I think.

 

[vippe]

I mean Kuemper has had a poor game. But he hasnt even been the worst goalie in the game.

Chill with the whining. Disgrace? Thats a pathetic statement

 

[Breakers]

Stupid play by Eklbad

He sees Barzal is dog tired and he gives the puck away on his pinch.
