Especially that Shapalov guy...

Fair enough.. it's all immigrants kids but that's what Canada is all about! I actually I hope to live to see a much more diverse looking team Canada. I always say my son's classroom looks nothing like his hockey team.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Drysdale was better than Byram tonight.

 

[John Agar]

Did Askarov just drop his stick again? Couldn't see it while he received his wallet.

He dropped his wallet to...

The IIHF picked it up...

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Great seeing redemption for Devon Levi especially after losing the heartbreaking Gold Medal game against the Russians in the Junior A Challenge a couple years ago.

 

[The Blue Baron]

I would have lost it if he dropped the watch.

LMAO

nicely played sir

 

[McDrai]

I'll be cheering for the Russians against Finland in the bronze medal game. Have to cheer for the classier fans. The Finnish fans have raised douchebaggery to a whole new level.

Yeah I really noticed it in this thread. Russia, Sweden, Czechs, even US fans all pretty classy. Finland fans not so much

 

[NyQuil]

I don’t like Canada winning all the time either but trying to hate on litteraly everything about them like you do, yeah that is actually embarassing

He's just speaking the truth.

And now it's time for us to roast 37 puppies alive in a cauldron in the truest Canadian victory tradition.

 

[blindpass]

So the short tourney is to blame.....but 7 games in the KHL this season is a big sample?

No, I was counting the game last year too.

Makes life hard for us neutral ones Congrats Canada, well deserved there's no denying it.

Drysdale was better than Byram tonight.

It's for the tournament, not the game alone.

 

[SenzZen]

Looks like the crowds they were getting when Montreal hosted.

 

[MXD]

Does Levi look a bit like Carey Price or are the IPAs flowing too well

I thought the same and I'm on Pils so it has nothing to do with IPAs

 

[NyQuil]

Congrats to Canadian fans! Good game overall. Good goalkeeping from Levi. Really liked his play, and very good speeds in all lines. Also I like speed of thinking of this Canada team. As for Russian team I think Larionov is a bad coach. Not sure about his experience as a coach. Tactics looked bad, exit from own zone was very bad, and shots were terrible, never seen such bad shots. As for players, I could only praise Podkolzin, really. Others will play in KHL and lesser leagues, don't see anyy NHL future for them. Except, probably, Amirov.

Thank you for the classy commentary.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Can't argue with Levi, Byram, and Cozens as the top three players for Canada.

They were the obvious and well deserved 3 best Canadian players.

 

[Holystik]

Askarov just ascended to meme levels haha.
Hope he continues improving though, just having fun.

 

[Mickey Marner]

It's for the tournament, not the game alone.

That makes more sense, but i still disagree!

 

[Tralfamadore]

Drysdale was better than Byram tonight.

Thought they were both just ok for them. Drysdale had a few gaffes defensively and Byram wasn't as dangerous offensively.

 

[The Blue Baron]

“Yeeeees SIR!”
Hear that?

 

[The Podium]

So Canada is winning 6 games in a row and this one against Russia. Good for you guys. Any other sport you would beat Russia? I can't think of one, speed skating? Hamburger eating? Just wondering as a Finnish guy. Any idea how many olympic medals Finland or Russia/Soviet Union has against Canada?

At the last Winter Olympics Canada had 29 medals to Finland’s 6 and Russia’s 17

At the last summer Olympics Canada had 22 medals to Finland’s 1 and Russia’s 56

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Podkolzin left absolutely everything on the ice in this tournament and acted like a leader, tons of respect to him. Vancouver has a good one.

 

[Juniorhockeyguru]

Go post on boards about that if you want to feel superior.

but Russia got embarrassed today, completely outclassed

He's just salty his team got ran over, and will happen again if they beat the USA.

 

[John Agar]

Fair enough.. it's all immigrants kids but that's what Canada is all about! I actually I hope to live to see a much more diverse looking team Canada. I always say my son's classroom looks nothing like his hockey team.

Yup... very true...

The connections to European bloodlines in Canadian tennis are huge...

I'm a big tennis fan... so was an easy leap for Me...

 

[Czechboy]

Canada now at 44 goals for and 4 goals against in the tournament.

If they win Gold, this team will be talked about for a long time!

 

[ViD]

@ViD you ok?

I am fine, congrats on the win, fully deserved
