GDT: Russia Vs USA - 12/25 - 9:30 PM ET - TSN/NHLN

[SoundAndFury]

I mean this is goalie interference?
No?

Askarov wasn't even in the crease and USA player definitely didn't interfere intentionally so accidental contact and that's that.

Turcotte has looked solid imo, Zsgras not so much

Zegras has barely had the puck, him turcotte and Kaliyev are chasing every shift.

 

[tictactoe]

USA crash the net and bump Askarov now and get away with it.

#FreeFaber

Seriously, he's just about the only guy impressing me on this USA team right now.

 

[Hinterland]

Gives up a ton of rebounds too

Yeah. Very surprising, looking at his KHL numbers. Small sample size of course. Still strange.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

A garbage goal is like a goal a foot away,or one that goes the players rearend,,,God Faust is idiotic I hate him!

 

[jj cale]

If they can just get one more here watch out.

 

[ORRFForever]

This Russian team is impressive.

Yes. No fear at all.

 

[SI90]

It’s insane that Zegras and Turcotte are nowhere to be found. Wtf

 

[Atas2000]

KUH-NYE-A-ZEV

It's almost a freudian thing. Like they know it's a russian name and sub-conciously don't expect to pronounce it correctly.

 

[bsu]

It’s insane that Zegras and Turcotte are nowhere to be found. Wtf

Everytime they are out there they are both chasing the puck the entire shift. Russia is playing very smart and very well gotta give them credit.

 

[SI90]

If they can just get one more here watch out.

If nothing else it helps with goal differential

 

[Stive Morgan]

Yes. No fear at all.

Playing with confidence and swagger. They're having a ball out there.

 

[Sasso09]

Caufield been the best player for the US so far in this game

In the 1st and 2nd period for sure. In the 3rd he's been nonexistent.

Edit: literally right after posting this Caulfield has a dominant shift. Overall def best player for US tonight.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

It’s insane that Zegras and Turcotte are nowhere to be found. Wtf

Major busts

 

[cska78]

Strange, thought there was goalie interference by USA

 

[KaseMeOutside]

keep getting in Askarov's gril

 

[NorCalhockey]

That's what "throwing everything at the net" should look like. Bodies in front, puck on the net to create a rebound and then compete. Arguably the best shift of the game from the US.

Agree. With the rebounds Askarov gives up, US should go to net with support and just SHOOT on net. Maybe get a rebound that the supporting player can bury in goal

 

[SI90]

Major busts

Let’s not get crazy. But in this game, absolutely disappointing

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Feels so good to see Hockey where a team attempts to gain entry into the offensive zone via passing and creativity.

They should try one month in the nhl where dump in's are banned.

 

[Sasso09]

Also can't believe the Sens passed up on so many guys to take Sanderson so high

This your first time watching Sanderson? He's the real deal, he looks awful tonight but he's legit.

 

[Sean Garrity]

It’s insane that Zegras and Turcotte are nowhere to be found. Wtf

They've had to play defense almost the entire game it feels like. That line has clearly not been up to snuff in this game. I haven't paid attention to if they've been matched up against a specific forward or D pairing by Igor.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sanderson can really skate .. for an 18 y/o he's looking pretty good

 

[Atas2000]

Yeah Knyazev's surname is far and away the most butchered on the TSN feed

...and the guy plays in Canada for what, a year and a half?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Sanderson another bust

nvm that was Lacomb
