[Roger's Pancreas*]

This game is amazing

If thats how you develop talent in Russia, then how did guys like Fetisov, Gonchar, and Mironov find they themselves skating backwards?

True True

How badly did Russia need that whistle

 

[Rebecca]

anyone know if there is a webcast or online radio broadcast where i can catch the game?? sucks to be me, stuck at work

I feel your pain. We'll all following it here at my own work and the TSN scoreboard blows so I'm relying on the guys here. Thanks everybody!

freaking titanic - what a game

LOL @ that Russian defenseman going for a big hit on St. Louis and getting laid out in the process.

 

[Freudian]

Both teams have been pretty good in boxplay.

Everyone keeps talking about Brodeur (and he has been great)but how about Nabokov! He's on fire this period!!!

This game is a prime example of why a game doesn't need 10-9 scores in order to be entertaining and exciting.

If anything the fact that it is so low-scoring is why it has been awesome. It is so suspenseful, and if a goal is scored then it will actually mean something (unlike in a 10-9 game).

Ya poor you and me, getting paid to read a gamethread, I'm sure there are starving kids in Africa rounding up money to send to you and me.

Same here, I haven't done much today.

 

[TheDamned]

wow... what a game so far.

 

[Siberian]

The ref is feeling the pressure now. He was surprisingly good, but the call on Ovechkin was his worst.....

Shots ?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

LOL @ that Russian defenseman going for a big hit on St. Louis and getting laid out in the process.

He was going for the puck more I think and St. Louis just stuck his shoulder into him. It was Volchenkov, who then blocked a few more shots on the PK. Guy is fearless.

 

[Garbs]

Canada was much stronger than Russia 5-5, especially in the first 6 minutes. If they continue to play like that and stay out of the box, they'll win this game.

 

[MOGiLNY]

Has Taratukhin been on the ice yet??

 

[The_Eck]

Thank God for Brodeur or this game would be an absolute blowout.

 

[TheDamned]

Anyone recording the game on a DVDR ? I wanna get a copy of the divx.

 

[bert]

Why is Pronger on the pp over Redden? The guy cant make a 5 foot pass.

Nice to see St Louis and Smyth working hard. The rest of the team needs to follow suit.

 

[Bileur]

no, the rules are there in black and white, the ref blew it.

You cant use the rules as proof on a subjective call like this unless you have evidence that the hit was on the knee. The refs didnt blow it if he hit his thigh did they? You think they hit the knee. OK I get it.

Hopefully they can spare a peanut for me as well

A blowout ? Uh, not really.

 

[Den]

I constantly have a feeling that Russia can jack it up. We are playing too defensively...

 

[Nemchinov13]

How badly did Russia need that whistle

Badly. During almost the entire PK (up until that whistle), the puck was in the Russian zone. Russian PKers were so tired, they couldn't lift a stick.

 

[Kaizer]

I can't even discribe how bad Kovalchuk is uncoached. Damn, PP for us and this sucker few times in a row tries to deck and shot instead of entering to the zone and starting our PP play.
