pass the torch - for now - congrats to the russians - they were very good -

it was kinka obvious what was missing from team canada's lineup

too cute - one extra pass and one more thing - hrudey is right - bad penalties

 

[CSKA]

GREAT GAME !
The better team won ! Broduer + Nabokov absolutly SICK !!!

And what about Ovechkin ? BIG TIME PLAYER ! SICK ! AWESOME !!!!! WHAT A PLAYER !!!!

 

[The Joker*]

Did Canada even have a system?

 

[tesplen]

What a complete disaster for Canada. Shut out three times. Amazing.

Post game: Canada-Russia

Congratulations everybody. It was a great game, a classic. It's a shame this had to be in the quarter finals.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Canada came close , it's too bad they did wait until the 3rd to put some decent pressure on Russia .

Ovechkin with his most important goal in his carrer , Markov to Kovalev to seal the deal ...

Where are all the Brodeurs haters ? He was the best player for Canada today .

Malkin>Ovechkin
It must be said

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

What got into Viktor Kozlov for this game? He was a machine.

Congrats to Anton Volchenkov and Russia.

 

[The Joker*]

Dump the puck and try to win it 1v4. No team work. Too many extra passes. Not enough traffic in front of the net. Never won races to the puck. Terrible coaching. Terrible selected. Terrible played.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

That's tough. Great duel.

Now go win the Gold medal, so at least we can take solace in being beaten by the best team in the tourney.

 

[Silvercup Returns]

What got into Viktor Kozlov for this game? He was a machine.

Congrats to Anton Volchenkov and Russia.

Of course Anton!

 

[ARS]

Congratulations to the Russians

You guys played good and definitely outplayed team Canada by a lot, this olympics proves, atleast for Canada, that experience doesn't mean as much as the GM's and coaches tout it to be.

All in all, good luck the rest of the way and I hope you guys win gold

 

[Rscorpio]

Kovalev and Markov for the Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NJ_Devil_Boy]

Hmmm...

- can't score
- can't hit
- can't play 60 mins
- defensive breakdowns galore
- can take the dumb penalties
- terrible special teams
- banking on Brodeur FTW

It was like watching the Devils out there wearing a different jersey. This team never got it going and it's pretty disappointing.

Note: Some thought goaltending would be the weakest link on Team Canada...

Brodeur

 

[Firsov99]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see, guys, what Russia can do when it has goaltending and D.

Ovechkin should also get an assist on his own goal. What a play to keep the puck in the zone.

Kovalev is a true captain. Captains should make important plays (like a take away from Progner) for their teams.

Nabokov is just awesome!!!

P.S. Russian fans, do you still want to get Brylin instead of Kozlov?

 

[Schenn02]

Congrats Russia. You guys deserved it. Brodeur was freakin amazing as was Nabakov, both goalies kept their teams in it and the better team won.

 

[ShaneDoan]

Lesson for Gretzky...

He must now realize that it is time for new stars, excluding Finland and Sweden and also them in the couple years...

I mean some Ovetchkin and Malkin are so young highly-talented&hungry players that they trashed some canadian stars this game.

 

[RangersFan88*]

Malkin>Ovechkin
It must be said

u on crack my friend

OVECHKIN = MALKIN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the hole hockey world

the two are gods !!!!

 

[GPF]

What got into Viktor Kozlov for this game? He was a machine.

Exactly !!! He was outstanding and setting up the goal by TWO plays before winning the battle behind the net and playing this beautiful pass. Imagine maybe Kessel centering Ovechkin ... oh man even the contained announcer of german TV nearly got freaky because of MISTER UNBELIEVABLE AWESOME OVECHKIN !!! How good a single player CAN be ...

I never was a sympathizere of the russian national team but this freaking bunch of high talented high speed guys definitely deserves to win the GOLD medal !!! HATS DOWN!

what a game

 

[Den]

Men of the game: Nabokov, Ovechkin and Kozlov.

They just stuck to it and stuck to it. Krik is the gian killer.
But Canada desreves a pat for the effort: somehow they just couldn't figure it out in this Olympics. And Pronger bummed you game after game. That was surprising to me.

 

[Kluivert4Ever]

Russia deserved to win but I thought the reactions to Canadas non-goal would be a lot bigger, the replay was shown here in Sweden and Lecavalier scored before the ref blew his whistle. The commentators here in Sweden said it was sure goal.

Again, Russia won fair and square but I just imagined the reactions to be bigger.

 

[creative giant*]

Congrats to Russia, they played a great game. And I hope they win gold.

Ovechkin is a machine, every time I see him I become more of a fan.

 

[NBHABSFAN]

For all the talk that Canada could send 2 or 3 teams, I guess this has been humbling for our country.

 

[Westlander]

Great game Russia, the better team won. Back to the drawing board we go...
