Nice goal by Italy. Made team Germany pay for their mistake

 

[SoundAndFury]

Italy is leading

 

[Namejs]

Yeah, Germany is looking a lot like Latvia so far.

 

[GermanNuck]

Lol Germany

 

[Namejs]

Holy smokes

 

[jonas2244]

Wow. What a bad defensive effort.

 

[Antiillafire]

Oh my Italy

In general, I like what the Russians are doing hockey wise. Eg. Provorov is an exceptional D. Their goalies are phenomenal and they are starting to get some very good NHL D again. Just need some Centres at the NHL/Best on best level. I think I read on HF that they had a record 55 Russians in the NHL as well (something like that).

BTW... hope you saw how good Price was last night! There is your starter!

Price was spectacular last night, he and Anderson were the best players on the ice. Yeah, if he plays like that Canada has no worries in net, not counting on it yet though.

Agree on Russian hockey situation, defense is coming along, great goalies and centres are needed. It's sports federation needs to get it's act together though, it's embarrassing.

 

[SoundAndFury]

This Germany - Italy game doesn't disappoint so far

 

[Namejs]

Well, this is fun

 

[Maverick41]

Good job by Italy.
Obviously I want Germany to win, but I also like the underdog.

And Germany ties it.

Now what is going to happen on this Italy powerplay?

 

[czechmate]

Are Sekac and Voronov friends? Or talking shit to each other?

I was asking myself the exact same thing

Russia was suspended for 4 years back in 2018, the ban includes the tournaments up to and including the 2022 Beijing Games.

 

[BigBadBoar]

What a fearless play by Italy!

Ah, the “hydra” thing. Thanks

 

[Antiillafire]

Germany controlling puck and cycling well but not doing much with the cycles. Need to get guys moving into the centre of the ice more

Ah, the “hydra” thing. Thanks

Good old hydra...this new IIHF website sucks in a big way...

I'm honestly not trying to go at the Russians or anything about doping. However, they beat us for Bronze and I'm postive this is what they looked like:

So why are they wearing ugly jerseys today and those gorgeous ones at the last tourney if this started in 2018?

Short before the end of the period 16 - 5 for Germany.

 

[Czechboy]

Good period.. I thought we were even. Russian PP goal was gorgeous. Really happy for Flek. like I say, guys like my question him being cut and then he scores to shut guys like me up! I love it.

 

[Czechboy]

Either the Russian goalie is exceptional (whichi s possible) or we keep hammering a puck into his chest.
