Great game by Russia.

 

[Stive Morgan]

sorry I couldn't quite hear you ... what was that?

Channeling my inner Pierre McGuire

 

[NorCalhockey]

The Amirov/Podkolzin line did work in those last minutes. USA barely got to touch the puck even with that terrible icing

Yep, US with extra man but can’t even get out of their D zone t the end there. Cripes!

 

[kilowatt]

It's going to overtime if Knight didn't gift them a goal. Tough luck for team USA.

 

[Atas2000]

Smart multi-dimensional move by Larionov to put Chinakhov out there. He gets his first goal, even if it is an EN. A goalscorer needs this.

 

[canuck2010]

Game score was closer than the game.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

True but unlike Kaliyev and Zegras, Turcotte is very effective off the puck.

Which makes a 4th liner if he can't create scoring chance or finish them

 

[Firsov99]

I think USA is on another level than Russia this year but in one game (and with Askarov in net) anything can happen.

I'll say USA 3-1.

This has aged wonderfully like cheddar cheese.

 

[Leafs87]

LOL !!!!!

And then Leaf fans wonder why people hate them. (joke/teasing)

Craddle, release and body motion just reminded me of Matthews LOL. Tbh that’s a compliment to him.

I'm sure you know where that quote is from.

 

[NyQuil]

Lol, that facial expression.

 

[TopChedder]

Good win!

I love that Amirov was trusted on the ice killing the empty net.

 

[Stive Morgan]

U.S. definitely recovered in the 3rd, despite the loss. Fares better for them moving forward in this tournament.

hi

 

[Sean Garrity]

Have the US won an o-zone face off all night?

Definitely not when it mattered, like on powerplays or the game on the line. I'd be interested to see Turcotte's faceoff numbers, it seemed like his line was constantly chasing after the puck and playing defense.

 

[ORRFForever]

A customized wallet. NICE !!!!!!

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Zegras needs to be tried with Boldy and Caufield.

I would split him and Turcotte for sure

 

[Fatass]

US changing goalies turned the tide. Their guys played with more confidence with the new goalie for sure. Fun game to watch.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

As a LA Kings fan having to listen this pompous idiot Faust I want to slit my wrists...I can't stand this punk

Askarov allowed a weak one too.

 

[ViD]

Chinakhov with some great speed on that ENG

 

[ORRFForever]

Craddle, release and body motion just reminded me of Matthews LOL. Tbh that’s a compliment to him.

Leafs fans drive other fans crazy for a reason.

Yeah. USA was sloppy but Russia weren’t super dangerous offensively. Knight lost the game sadly.

 

[SoundAndFury]

We win this game if Wolf starts

Sure.. That's definitely how sports work. Not like Russia has been legitimately the better team as long as they kept playing.

 

[ViD]

Russia’s forth line was by far the best today
