GDT: Russia Vs Sweden | 12/30 @ 9:30PM | TSN/NHLN

Not really, he fell a little easy but I wouldn’t say he dove.

He baited the player in perfectly, it was actually a really nice old school pest play

lol

soccer dive

 

[Fantomas]

That Swede fell like he was shot. Comical.

Bro, falling that easily is a dive. That was so cheap way to go down

 

[Sean Garrity]

Holy faceoffs Batman.

 

[aphyro]

That was a dive

Tell me how a basball swing to the head is a dive...

Should have given a penalty to the Swede as well for embellishment

Igor Larionov doesn't believe in wrinkles, hair loss or getting older.

I would say the bait makes it more likely it's a dive, he's trying to bait the retaliation knowing the moment it comes he's going to sell it IMO.

 

[Bourdon]

He's clearly playing through something.

Sure, but his decision making is way too slow for a fast game like this.

 

[57special]

The Russians need the break to get their composure back. They were the better team until they started taking penalties...they should actually have one more.

 

[Canucks LB]

falling easy not a dive?
what is a dive?

I’m pretty sure he had his legs underneath him

 

[ViD]

Ryssian crybabies.. it’s beautiful

Shut the hell up

Here it is...

TV mixup has Russian fans celebrating world junior gold despite losing to Canada | CBC Sports

Wow, that’s a throwaway jokey article. It mentions two social media posts and that’s it. One post by a dumb soccer player who probably actually made that mistake and then a solid joke post by Tarasenko’s wife saying her husband thought it was live for 10 minutes until he saw himself in the game (the Tarasenkos may been making fun of the soccer player but that’s a guess).

swedish pig took lessons from canadians? gg

You've been making quite a name for yourself the past few days.

Baseball was legit but the fall was also dive. You can have two in same play.
Penalty should have gone both ways

 

[Beaker]

Bad penalty.

...but that dive though.

 

[Sonk]

Lol what? Dive?

Nobody here ever tried to stay on you’re feet while getting slewfooted?

 

[Atas2000]

Why do I have the urge to buy some Russian "toys"?

Just play a swedish "game" instead.

Again, it's just silly fun.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

This is the worst defense I have seen from Sweden in a while.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Shut the hell up

It’s true, you know.

 

[canswetoxic]

4 PP without any goals, holtz has to step up!

 

[NorCalhockey]

Given this is the third of three games today it should be to Sweden’s advantage having fresh ice to continue their PP to start the 3rd period.
