Why did Malkin get misconduct?

He crosschecked the Canadian player near the head/neck area from behind. CBC said a punch was involved, but did n't see it.

Definatly didn't see a kick in the replay, which some are saying. Will have to watch again and see if I pick it up..

Malkin sees to fly off the handle easily. He'll have to get a hold on his temper be more careful, or he'll have a Bertuzzi or McSorley incident in the future.
 
In my opinion it's pretty simple: the best team won tonite. Period.
The Russians are faster, more talented, and play as a team. Saying that the Canadians didn't give their 100% is just an excuse. Russia won because is the better team.

I can't wait to watch them again, they're a joy to watch.

And Ovechkin is an alien, that kid is not human.

I thought he kicked Lecavalier with his skate when they were tangling on the ice...

I retire everything I said about Kozlov :eek: He played an outstanding game today. What about Ovechkin and Malkin!!! :yo:

Congrats to the Canadian fans; very few blamed the ref for the outcome. I know that if it would have been the opposite and Russia would have lost, lots of people would be going nuts around here... Classy.

Kicking a guy only garners a misconduct? sweet.
 
Malkin's skate never made contact with Lecavalier. The only thing that got him thrown out was because the ref saw his skate come up in the air,therefore he got the match penalty. Lecavalier did also punch him and got 2 for roughing during that scrum.

I still can't believe Richards didn't shoot at the open net and decided to pass it to a covered man out front.

Me too...i was stunned...Nabo was down and out and Richards passed it right into the scrum! He had a wide open net...I still don't understand it.

Sorry I dont get to see the hockey till tonight, how did Brodeur play? and how many saves did he end up making?

Brodeur was brutal. Let in a couple of softies. Bertuzzi was a monster all night and single handidly almost won us the game!!
 
Russia 1st goal was scored on the PP...and the genius in the bix was Big Todd, who took a useless penalty for checking a russian without the puck.
 
That was a pretty complete game by the Russians. All of them.

Just hoped that more people would have given greater credit to some of the others that played well today, instead of the majority praising one player that shall not be named (don't have to since everyone else will). Kozlov, Nabokov, Kovalev, Sushinsky, most or all of the defense; outstanding. And every player buying into the team concept and doing (surprisingly) well at it.

Nobody really deserves to be singled out in this game. Great effort by all!
 
Guys, guys!!!

Scooooop :

Gonchar finished the game with a not negative +/-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: Who would've thought??? It happens like once every 100 years, and it happened today!!!

Now I know why Russia won :sarcasm:




PS. I love Gonchar, he's awesome! :bow:
