GDT: Quarterfinal - May 23 - Russia vs USA

[SanDogBrewin]

Great tip Jack.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

2-0 Russia. Sergachev!

 

[koyvoo]

Russia-9
USA-1

My prediction may be close!

 

[CaptTennille]

Russia's powerplay is DOPE. Every player on the ice in a shooting threat position.

 

[Kranix]

Desperation from Blashill

 

[FlyguyOX]

Nah Russians just know how to play on big ice better IMO

 

[ijuka]

Ovechkin had it...

 

[shtorm2005]

Nice exchange of high danger chances from monsters like Ovy and Kane.

 

[ccman68]

Yikes Ovechkin looks bad.

 

[Svedu]

He was injured during season. And yes, he is TOP5 for sure, maybe TOP3.

Omg, chill with the biased eyes. He´s not top3. I would consider Vasilievskiy, Rask, Rinne, Price, Lehner to be better goalies.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Russia gaining O-zone too easily. Glad Jack Hughes is getting more playing time.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Telegin is faster, than Quin Hughes

Rinne? Lehner?? Are you seriously??

Gibson was legitimate Vezina contender until his injury. He was f***ing great. Look how Ducks were bad and Gibson still great...

Is that supposed to be surprising? Hughes not exactly fast.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Gavrikov great play!

 

[Kshahdoo]

Is that supposed to be surprising? Hughes not exactly fast.

He's considered an elite skater, as far as I remember.

 

[maclean]

Will have to root for USA in this one. If Sweden is going to win gold then Russia has to leave the tournament. I just don't see us beating them this year unfortunately. You russians should take this as a compliment.

Watching this game this is what I realised too - oh yeah, much better if someone else can manage to stop the Russians...

 

[pashazz]

Kane and Eichel look like little boys compared to Kucherov and Malkin.

Even Gusev with no NHL games looks like a superstar compared to Kane lol

 

[OKOptimistic]

Hughes having himself a good game

 

[Svedu]

Rinne? Lehner?? Are you seriously??

Gibson was legitimate Vezina contender until his injury. He was ****ing great. Look how Ducks were bad and Gibson still great...

And what has Gibson won i mens hockey? Nothing. He does not even have the stats to back your biased opinions.
He is a good goalie but Price, Rask and Vaslievsky are better. No question.

 

[FlyguyOX]

The ice quality looks horrible. Players falling everywhere.

 

[ijuka]

Hughes had some 3 shifts where he played better than he'd played before in this tournament, so hopefully he can keep that up.

 

[Norman Moscow]

Swiss scores.

 

[aonb]

He's considered an elite skater, as far as I remember.

Telegin is a speedster though. Always has been. No surprise he's faster than Hughes

 

[FlyguyOX]

Didn't realize this was such a pro-Russia thread.
