GDT: Semi-Final | Russia Vs Canada | 6PM | TSN/NHLN

Jesus. Looks like men against boys right now. Expect Russia is going to have a strong run at some point before this is over, but wow Canada looks dominant right now.

I dont get all the hype about Askarov either

Its just one tourney... hes been unreal in the KHL this year.

Nice play Schneider at the blue line. Canada's forwards are just too good. If their d and goalie match that just not fair.

 

[NyQuil]

That's on the Russian D. If he keeps his stick the pass likely doesn't go through.

It's still the correct play to give up your stick.

Ray vs Askarov, round 14

After the tournament: "Askarov has the weakest handshake out of any player I've met during this tournament"

 

[Mikeshane]

Beauty goal, loved the quick passing play.


Byfield should sometimes just take the puck off the boards and bull rush the net.

 

[bagsw]

I don’t see any chances to win this game, unfortunately. To bad skaters in defense, too low-IQ players in offense

 

[MaKarter]

Newhook is an awesome player no doubt but I don't understand why you would play him ahead of a healthy player in these games, especially when every player is a first round talent. Looked like an AC joint injury and those are super painful to play with.

Looks healthy.

Things are going well BUT let's not get out of hand with comments.

Hockey is a strange sport, all I can say.

 

[NyQuil]

My current count has 23 missed penalties on Canada.

 

[TimeZone]

Askarov gives me Jonas Gustavsson vibes at times.

 

[robertocarlos]

really? I saw a Canadian player slip the ref a 20 before the opening face off.

I sent the refs a stack of one and two dollar bills.

Spoiler alert: Those bills are no longer legal tender.

 

[Alerion]

Nice to have the early lead but I've seen enough Canada vs Russia games to know the lead will change another 2-3 times. Wouldn't feel safe with a 6-0 lead at this level, no matter how good the team has been.

 

[Mighty Makar]

PP time.

 

[ozo]

That's on the Russian D. If he keeps his stick the pass likely doesn't go through.

lol, he had to give it up to the goalie that lost his for no good reason. 100% on Askarov

 

[TimeZone]

NEED to cash here. PP has to come through

I dont get all the hype about Askarov either

I remember so many people arguing with me prior to the draft when I dared say I wouldn't use a high pick on him.

 

[NyQuil]

4 minutes?

MAKE IT BLEED MAKE IT BLEED.

 

[king89]

Weak penalty

 

[Melkor]

To win this type of games you need a competent goalie. Period. Russians don't have one.

 

[Dominance]

Here’s a chance to really take control. Let’s get one here.

 

[tictactoe]

That’s a traditional start against Canada, they always dominate first 10-15 minutes.

yes but with this type of goaltending... I mean Askarov does not read plays, drops his stick like a clown, out of position... never square.. and shit 2 on 1.

 

[780il]

Canada’s top 3 lines look incredible rn

 

[Scandale du Jour]

4 minutes? Time to put that game out of reach.

 

[TMLeafer]

"The crease is lava" -Askarov, probably
