PGT: Semi-Final | Russia Vs Canada | 6PM | TSN/NHLN | Pt 2

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

He definitely models himself after him... Can't count on any goalie to reach that level but he for sure plays that calm and efficient game like price.

Both.

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?

Most winter Olympics sports. Besides luge and cross country skiing

Imagine the full arena, boys deserve it

 

[CanadianSniper]

Lot of people really mad that Russia lost 5-0 instead of 5-1.

the Canadians just said 1 more on broadcast, they will buy one game from the refs!!!!!

 

[Notsince67]

Game was a bit anticlimactic. Not Russia's day. Hoping for a really good final.

 

[jj cale]

Really looking forward to the next game up, and I think I know who I am cheering for.

It's always nice to have a team to root for.

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

But which country would win a drinking contest... ?

I'd think all three contestants would die before they would capitulate...

 

[ViD]

Congratulation to all Canadian fans, today was your day, fully deserved win. We will be back stronger and we will get you later. Now go win the gold.

 

[Oilslick941611]

also this game was easy mode.

Luge was invented by Satan.

True story.

I am fine, congrats on the win, fully deserved

Was secretly rooting for Amirov to do some damage as a Leaf fan. Great tournament, and the rivalry is always fun

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.

I wonder how Bragin would feel about this version of the team? and how he would coach this team differently compared to Larionov tonight?

 

[trilobyte]

Florida looking like they done good in picking Levi (Luongo's input welcomed, no doubt)

I'm not mad about the score. It's just a dumb rule.

Well that's money wasted as we didn't need it tonight.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Drysdale was better than Byram tonight.

Drysdale was quietly great so far.. Byram has been great as well

 

[The Blue Baron]

I am fine, congrats on the win, fully deserved

Respect!

thanks

the fact we're arguing with some of these posters...

We're not in the class of Russia or Finland when it comes to drinking.

 

[Bonham]

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

It's just one of those years where it seems like it all comes together. Certainly goes in cycles for these types of tournaments.

I am liking their chances from what I have seen to date but I am sure US/Finland will be hungry for gold as well.

All in all, just happy to be watching hockey again!

 

[Zybalto]

Throw Bragin behind the bench, put whoever you want in net and use Soviet era refs and I still dont think that Russian team wins tonight.

Men against boys most of the night.

 

[blindpass]

Crazy that this team is dominating while missing Dach who would have been the best player in the entire tournament in my opinion

And that guy the Rangers didn't let go to the tournament too...
