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

[Urbanskog]

Clearly there are too many teams in this tournament.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Love Larionov...Askarov had to come out after 3 though.

 

[MeHateHe]

That's three bad goals. If I were a Russian fan I would be losing my mind. As a former goalie, I am losing my mind.

 

[Three On Zero]

RIP Russia

 

[Stive Morgan]

I don't think his criticism is unwarranted.

He does give up juicy rebounds AND frequently drops his stick.

Neither of those two actions are often associated with success,

Oh his points are absolutely valid but he just seems to make any excuse to trash the kid which I find funny and entertaining

"...and again Askarov has lost his stick! GOAL!"

This may be seen as mean but it is unfortunately an accurate description of the play on the ice

 

[Mickey Marner]

Like, at least when Hasek dropped his stick there was a purpose for it and he wasn't too stupid to pick it back up.

 

[landy92mack29]

I do not agree. Schneider constantly fumbles the puck on the breakout and ruins plenty of counter attacking opportunities. He has no creativity in the offensive zone and is clueless on the puck, making the safe play every time, sometimes failing with that. He is good defensively but that doesn´t compensate for being by far the worst player on the ice with the puck, both teams included.

If they are not pulling him, they are handing him his hat.

Good night Russia

 

[Hooz]

Larionov needs to take a book out of my peewee coach’s playbook and duct tape Askarov’s stick to his hand.

 

[Tripod]

hahaha....worried about being beaten high glove....keeps glove higher...score 2 goals right under glove!

oh...and 2 goals when he doesn't have his stick.

I sense a trend.

 

[kudla]

Slovakia is the toughest opponent Canada has played

 

[780il]

LOOK HE DOESNT HAVE HIS STICK AGAIN - Ray

Fitting bump

 

[Mugzy97]

Before the tournament, I thought Askarov was the one player who could steal a game from us in the knockout round. Now I think our goalie (Levi) is playing better than Askarov. I see us winning 5 or 6 to two, and Askarov gets pulled after goal number 4.

Guess not!

 

[TB12]

That goal was all started by an unreal backcheck by Mercer. What an effort play.

 

[nucks88]

That Russian dman didn’t know his goalie was a lefty?!?

Russian goalie doesn’t know he’s a lefty.....

 

[Oilslick941611]

I am in love with this stick thing. He has lost it 4 times and cost them 2 goals directly

 

[Del Preston]

Askarov does not look like an NHL calibre prospect right now, at all.

His stick does, though. It covers a lot of ice.

 

[TimeZone]

Take a shot every time Askarov loses his stick.

 

[dm1371]

Askarov is the in the game??? Is Larionov a bad coach or what

 

[HockeyVirus]

 

[Zybalto]

Pull the poor kid. I cant defend him anymore. Let Canada beat on a new keeper.

 

[iCanada]

Askarov lost his stick three times in that play.

 

[AvatarAang]

I was about to make a joke about TSN being obsessed with Askarov losing his stick, and then Schneider of all people scores on him.
