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

[Svedu]

Poor Askarov has been so bad. C´mon Larionov just take him out. It's time!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Mercer has a bit of Mark Stone in him. Great anticipation and stickwork on the defensive side of things.

 

[sandysan]

Askarov lost his stick three times in that play.

It's the trifecta!

 

[Passionis]

Well this is one heck of Team Canada. Russia is playing poorly, but Canada is just pure dominating, all lines and full rink. Truly great hockey nation despite all the adversity.

 

[Dominance]

Keep playing our game. Let the Russians get chippy. Retaliate on the scoreboard.

 

[Stive Morgan]

They are the nicest people in Canada.

"I don't want to pick on the guy".

LOL

Biggest lie of 2021 and it's only January

 

[joe dirte]

Canada has outscored their opponents 31-0 at 5v5?

Thats mental.

With early goals in most games, its like 360 minutes of play, 25 minutes tied, 335 leading.

 

[NyQuil]

Russia uses their size and strength and gets a scoring chance out of it.

 

[Del Preston]

Ferraro " I don't want to pick on the guy"

What a liar!

I'm listening to the uncensored broadcast. What Ray actually said was "I don't mean to pick on the guy, but I f***ing hate him."

 

[GirardSpinorama]

LOL

 

[tictactoe]

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.

boss do not say Hasek... Do not even mention Hasek in this thread.

 

[Canucks LB]

Pod with two really nice plays there

 

[Canadienna]

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.

As a goalie one of the most annoying things is a defensemen taking himself out of position to try to hand you your stick. Goalies really can't take their eye off the puck for even a second while it's the their end.

 

[ecemleafs]

Braden Schneider has a goal and an assist tonight?

 

[Tralfamadore]

One thing I like about Byram is he's unpredictable, he'll shoot, pass, circle the zone, drive the net.

He's got a bit of everything in his game. It's impressive.

 

[peconcan]

Russians are definitely going to start using their sticks a lot more hopefully Canada keeps it cool when they do

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Smaller ice another problem for Russian kids?

 

[John Agar]

A note...

Only 2 CHL players on Russia... two from the Q'...

2 from the NCAA... Euro ice surfaces...

The rest from VHL, MHL and KHL...

Not used to intense forecheck and board pressure deep... ?

 

[DropTheGloves]

“Larionov wanted to bring a different approach to the Russian team this year, less structured, less defensive...”

You’re telling me!

 

[Ginger Papa]

He lost his stick twice in five seconds.

Hahahah HOLD ONTO YOUR STICK

Wtf lol. How do you lose ur stick again?

Poor kid lost his stick again

Somebody glue Askarov's stick to him

Pull him
How do you lose your stick every 5 min.

New (possibly lethal) drinking game: Ray saying “he’s lost his stick!”

Its only a matter of time that once Askarov lost his stick, that puck would go in.

lol this clown Askarov and his stick.

"Professor" you can leave him in now... now it will not matter.

Okay Ray actually has a point about the stick thing... Like this is insane lol

Take a shot every time Askarov loses his stick.

Askarov lost his stick three times in that play.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Nice frickin' shot by Schneider. Yes

It wan't much of a shot. You know you are crap when Schneider scores on you.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Podkolzin sets up another chance Russia cannot convert

 

[Tripod]

Just as a comparison, when Carter Hart is "on", he moves very little...just like Price. Compare that to how Askarov is playing tonight.

And Hart is the smaller goalie.

 

[Melkor]

LOL Ray "I don't want to pick on the guy..." *proceeds to go hard after Askarov*

Let's be honest here: he deserved all the shit thrown at him now and after this game.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

From a competition standpoint this tournament has been abysmal. Canada's playing great, but they haven't played against anyone so far that has provided a challenge. Slovakia did for a period, but that seems to have been an outlier.
