GDT: Semifinal • Russia vs. United States

[LiveeviL]

canucks fans were going on and on about how amazing boeser's shot is but i think i've only seen him use it like once all tournament!

but it was amazing!

 

[Matti_A]

How sweet to get a chance at revenge versus the Russian's. Should be a good game.

 

[Sher-Wood]

So Russia vs. Finns, trap against trap. Let the best trap win I guess.

 

[NyQuil]

Send a dozen choppahs!

 

[MPStoEberletoHall*]

Good medals in the last seven tournaments:
USA - 2
Canada - 1

Yes there is.

16 Gold medals for Canada

Keep chirping, you have so much more to be proud of.

Seven years is an awfully convenient cut off

 

[Passionis]

Your disdain for the U.S. is so cute. It doesn't make you look petty and insecure at all.

Lol come on personal attacks?

 

[Zombotron]

His name is Ivan Provorov Mr.Wilson and he just shut you down.

Hail to the King.

 

[Raptor1990]

I wish our main team played like that , I swear to God. Bragin's just a God for junior teams. Our main teams seem to be filled with individualists and lacks team play, but Bragin's teams are well-oiled machines, always playing as a TEAM. Bragin - awesome!

Yeah you would need God oh I mean Bragin to help you to win something big at Olympics or that World cup of hockey though.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Its ok.

US hockey has a crap load in their account. Just fork over the Amex and go home after the inevitable destruction.

**** Nagano 1998. That is all.

 

[BB88]

When I Harped about that talent. This is what I meant. We ****ed our chance of a medal with useless bums like Eansor Hitchcock and Donato. Politics. ****ing trash

Big players didn't show up, none of them when it mattered, blame them.

You misunderstood my post. USA is my second favorite team at WJC after Russia.

 

[PrototypeX85]

17 Gold medals for Canada
3 Gold medals for USA

Sorry. Talking about recent history.

Yes there is.

Why did you stop at 7 tournaments? Weird timeframe.

 

[Mikeshane]

Always fun watching a close Russia-USA game.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Congrats to Russia. I won't say why you won. I will wait to hear from Lowry as to what Wilson did wrong.

Well, we'll see if the American hockey media lobs any softballs his way, the same way TSN did to Wilson.

"Hey, hey look what Ron Wilson said about Canada, you guys! Boo, what a meanie!"

 

[jcbio11]

Crimea River?

Nice.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Good result. People here talk about American Hockey going a longs way in development, well World Juniors constantly proving Russia is slowly finally forming a system of development that will not only match the American system but over take it with the popularity of Hockey and number of players starting to play.

Will be close for sure. Looking forward to the rematch. The "weak" Group B having both finalists is pretty funny. Good luck Finland, however, the Krasnaya mashina will win the gold

Ron Wilson

Amazing effort by Korshkov on the second goal.

 

[PrototypeX85]

Always fun watching a close Russia-USA game.

Because that's as far back as I can go without the US losing the lead. Lol

 

[Ralonzo]

Why no Dvorak in the last minute? I don't get it.

Dvorak cleared the zone with a bad-angle one-timer with about 1 min left, didn't he? It's a given that the #1 line was going to play the last shift, and I understand using DeBrincat as sixth skater as he's a pure finisher.

The US defense basically started getting rattled by the hitting and the Russians shortening up on their time and space in the 2nd period, and had a lot of bad giveaways. I can remember bad giveaways by McAvoy leading to a goal, Werenski leading to a goal, Carlo and Belpedio too. The only guy that seemed to break out clean every time in the 2nd and 3rd was Borgen. And Fortunato is like 130 lbs, completely out of his element in a game like this one.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Mr. Austin Matthews forgot to show up for a huge game. Was almost invisible. Werenski got walked two times and finally got burned the second time. Russia deserved this one.

 

[Domless]

Somebody teach Wilson how to spell KO R SH KOV!
