Oof that smarts

 

[Atas2000]

Why is Chinakhov out?

Twisted his knee going into the boards last game.

 

[ORRFForever]

Last year when it was held in the Czech Republic. The Gold medal game.

It was the most watched sporting event in Russia for 2020.

I know...

What I meant was Russian TV replayed the 2011 GMG (last year) fooling a good chunk of the country. They watched and thought Russia won. After they found out the real results.

 

[RememberTheName]

Nice rush from Holtz there

 

[Atas2000]

Larionov has a tiny frame.

He never was big. Now he is a 60 year old who takes care of his health.

Ouch. Out for tournament?

 

[Del Preston]

I bet I could take him.

 

[Nsjohnson]

I bet I could take him.

What?

 

[NorCalhockey]

The actual game or the GMG game from Buffalo in 2011?

That’s the game that made me really love the tournament and started my annual viewing. I was rooting for Canada and thought it was in the bag going into the 3rd period up 3-0. Full props to Russia for not quitting.

Not clear yet.

 

[c9gunner]

too cute

 

[tictactoe]

wow why not shoot the puck dummy.

 

[1912]

I feel like our style of play is dependent on having at least one great playmaking center. What does Sweden, on the whole, lack severely? Great playmaking centers.

 

[sansabri]

Russian team is possessed

I was there.

Between the 2nd and 3rd period, I turned to my section's expert (he'd been to a million WJR's) and I said, "Do you think it's over?", and he said, "Yes".

We were all shocked/sick as it fell apart.

I'm of the opinion that it should be held in Europe much more often

Me too, I love when the Russians and Czechs especially host. European traditions are awesome all the whistling, jumping, dancing and songs mid game are different than what we’re used to in NA hockey games.

The Czechs are awesome hosts, especially at the senior level. The 2015 Men’s WHC in the Spring was unreal there when Canada sent a near Olympic level team. The year Crosby, Giroux, and company went 10-0 for Gold.

Those early start times are great, hockey early in the day when it’s in Europe for Canadian audiences. When we host in NA it’s late at night/super early for them.

 

[The Price is Right]

Finally a good close even game!

 

[MaKarter]

They are flying! What a fun game.

 

[tictactoe]

No slashing penalty on last break away by Russia

 

[ORRFForever]

I bet I could take him.

We always assumed you could.

 

[ViD]

Abramov is likely the best stickhandler on Russian team

 

[Atas2000]

I bet I could take him.

Given how much he works out, I wouldn't be so sure.

The entire world lacks great playmaking centers.

Russia is clowning Sweden right now
