GDT: Quarterfinals - May 19 - Czech Republic (1) vs USA (2) (SO)

[matsqq]

Well deserved win.

One good things for Czechs though is they don't have to wash their jerseys ...

 

[Hemsky001]

American goal from the offside.. well, doesn't matter now..
Canada is already looking forward to the final

 

[FinPanda]

What was said again about Matthews and not performing when it matters?

 

[Chainshot]

Pistol shrimp release by Mathews.

Now that is a meme waiting to happen!

 

[ViD]

Czechs you just embarrassed Europe

 

[Brewsky]

2 goals for Matthews because of IIHF rules.

It was good while it lasted though, here comes Canada.

 

[JTD]

Making the semis with this team is surpassing everyone's expectations. I'll take it.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I'm pretty proud of this U.S. team. Not the most talented by a long shot but aside from the Canada game have been extremely competitive and somehow make it to the semis!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Into the semis! Didn't expect this. Kinkaid played great. That was a huge surprise

Kinkaid played great.

 

[kudymen]

Congratulations to the US.


Looking forward to next year when my opinion on poor display of our play will be called "pretty weird" again.

Offside goal Would not count in NHL

so I think he will have hard time adapting to NHL when you can`t score offside goals

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

So does Matthews make team North America for the world cup?

 

[Plural]

Gongrats USA and Matthews.

Now do the unthinkable, beat Canada please.

 

[NarcoPolo]

In the iihf is a shootout winner considered a "real goal"?

In the iihf is a shootout winner considered a "real goal"?

Yeah, it's kind of stupid.

 

[NarcoPolo]

Yeah, it's kind of stupid.

Agree

 

[JTD]

Yup. Matthews gets credit for 2 goals today

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Making the semis with this team is surpassing everyone's expectations. I'll take it.

Especially with all the "relegation" statements. It wasn't pretty but i'll take it.

 

[1Gold Standard]

well well well. What a fantastic turn of events. Should have been a Canada v USA final, but a 1/2 final will have to do...

provided of course Canada gets past the Swedes.

 

[MardyBum]

So does Matthews make team North America for the world cup?

Possibly. There're guys who are good players in the NHL who might not even make it.

 

[Urbanskog]

What an embarrassing performance by the Czechs.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

So does Matthews make team North America for the world cup?

He can take Larkin's place. He looks gassed.

I argued with some Czech posters that they should have lost the last group-stage game in regulation on purpose to meet the Germans instead, they told me they shouldn´t, you Czech guys still think that?...

GG USA kudos Auston you still keep the draft interesting

 

[westc2]

Time to bring in some NHL ringers for the game against Canada.

(Does Sweden really stand any chance against them?)

It wasnt me but yes, I still believe losing on purpose is absolute horse crap, if thats what you are asking.
