GDT: Semi Final: Russia Vs Sweden | 9AM EST 1PM CET | RUS 5 - 4 SWE OT

[AB13]

You must have missed the eight minutes or so when Sweden didn’t get a shot on net at 5 on 5.

That was due to all momentum being taken away because of a ridiculous, deflating penalty.

Russia vs Canada is what the world wants

 

[hockey20000]

Sandin played almost the whole OT, and than the others left him alone with the change, so gtfo haters

don't be so sour

 

[PG Canuck]

Anyone blaming Sandin doesnt even get hockey

No, I think we get it

 

[Brun0]

pretty easy goal there

 

[Dominance]

In OT they did. Russia didn't get the puck for the first 2 mins of OT.

Congrats, you maintained possession for a couple minutes on 3 on 3 big ice. So hard. Kazakhstan can do that. What offensive chances did you get from it? One zero-angle shot?

 

[Civetty]

Well, Good game!

Yeah, I’ve only watched and played for 36 years now. He had a good game but played that final play terribly.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Unbelievable game, I'm glad I woke up on time to watch OT.

Was cheering for Russia, want Canada to give payback when it matters the most!

 

[AvatarAang]

Can/fin has huge shoes to fill to match the intensity of this game. Only complaint was that Hoglander was not available, wish we could have seen both teams duke it out at full strength.

 

[Czechboy]

Obviously there is something wrong when you win one ****ing gold over a span of almost forty years. So either the teams Sweden are sending aren't amazing or the coaching is whack.

I can't find it.. other than nerves or bad luck which you can't teach/control. Great D's, Goalies and Forwards. More NHL players than Finns and Russians combined.

 

[DuklaNation]

3 on 3 in the elimination rounds is stupid.

 

[NyQuil]

That was due to all momentum being taken away because of a ridiculous, deflating penalty.

Well, they had all the jump in OT and couldn’t finish.

They also gave up the 4-4 goal when they had the lead in the 3rd with like 10 minutes or so left.

 

[c9gunner]

Another good news for Russia, there is no goalie controversy anymore.

 

[vippe]

Yep Sandin hated to receive that Award. Understandable..

Well played Russia. Good luck in the finals.

No shame in losing against the Most skilled team in the tournament. Sweden didnt have its best game and still managed To take it as far as they did.

 

[Atomos2]

Lol. People blaming Sandin for bad defending on a 3 on 3 goal off a bad change Even Ferraro saw the mistake in the line change.

 

[Drai Fi]

He made a bad play. Get the Leaf glasses off

 

[SashaSemin28]

No Romanov? The f***

 

[Chimpradamus]

Sandin played almost the whole OT, and than the others left him alone with the change, so gtfo haters

Yeah, I don't understand what he's magically supposed to do there, when a forward comes in with speed and you play the Mickey Mouse 3v3 gimmick. The Russian has all the speed and space he needs.

Yet so many quick to bash him.

 

[jj cale]

This the best Russian team in quite a while. It deserves to play in the final. Now, I wonder, who will start for the Russians in the goal in the final ? ;-)

It's not even a question who will start, or at least it shouldn't be.

 

[romelson]

Without Sandin this game would have been 4-0 to Russia.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Yikes sandin

Beat one-on-one one clean after a good game. That stings

 

[Czechboy]

Romanov might be named the tournament all star team but not make the 3 best players for Russia? WTF?

 

[Claypool]

3 on 3 in the elimination rounds is stupid.

Nah, get the game over with.

 

[hockey20000]

was cheering Sweden but as a sens fan seeing the leafs top most bragged prospect mess up like that at the end was kinda glorious even though sad Russia won.
