GDT: Semifinal - May 20 - Canada (4) vs Russia (2)

[fahad203]

Schenn on the ice lol..
Russia had like 3 scoring chances.

All the Philly players are having a horrible game

 

[Chimpradamus]

Gifted a goal there.

Simmonds get 2min for slash = Good call
Namestikov faking = 2 min by tonight standard
Punching Giroux in back of the head is acceptable..absolute joke

Namestikov didn't fake it. Simmonds slashed him with both hands, how do you fake that?

 

[Pi]

Russian, Finns

Stop acting like you don't care because Canada is losing right now

I care, whenever Canada plays, I want them to win. Plenty of time to come back in the game.

They need to start skating again, one shot and we're back in the game.

 

[Coldplay619]

Russia-Sweden final please.

 

[Hinterland]

In fact the 10mins for Belov even benefits Russia. Belov is a terrible defender and also useless on the PP.

Lol. I called it. PP looked so much better without Belov

 

[NyQuil]

Still a period to see what they can do.

Canada was better in the first but couldn't finish.

Russia didn't miss on their quality chances.

 

[Canuckistani]

This will end something like 4-1 or 5-2

 

[fahad203]

Russians are faster, quicker and more skilled.

No problem in admitting it. They do look more organized

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Canadian defense is in shambles

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Namestikov didn't fake it. Simmonds slashed him with both hands, how do you fake that?

He was still shaking his hands in pain immediately before pushing a Canadian player with both his hands and showed no signs of discomfort

 

[ijuka]

Canadian defense is horrible. Worst in the tournament?

Could they leave more guys open for tap ins if they tried? This could very well be 6-0.

 

[tictactoe]

This Canadian line is very tired.

 

[Canuckistani]

It remains a mystery why Russia can't put it together like this at the Olympics.

 

[Trilliann]

They are English-ized so you just pronounce them how they're written. But you don't seriously call Tchaikovsky Petr instead of Pyotr, right?

No I meant that's why you sometimes see different spellings, because he was wondering about it

Exactly. Lots of time to come back.

Don't worry, theres still Finnish defense.

Still a period to see what they can do.

Yeah, they had like 2-3 tap ins they missed, it was bound to hurt them.

Still have a whole period to mount a comeback. If they can somehow get one before the period ends, it would be great.

whats going on with the russian team twitter

Gusev is for goose))

 

[tictactoe]

Provorov is ok.

 

[NyQuil]

Totally different situation.

 

[Adonis Creed]

Namestikov didn't fake it. Simmonds slashed him with both hands, how do you fake that?

He was perfectly fine 5 seconds after to push people around and challenge Morrissey.

 

[Coldplay619]

Better competition.

They've won four of the last nine world championships.

Haven't medaled at the Olympics since 2002.

 

[fahad203]

Canadian defense is in shambles

Apparently we didn't have a better option than Lee. Who's 38 plays outside of NA

I am not sure if Morgan Reilly was invited or not but he could have been a good option

 

[NyQuil]

Big PP here.

 

[snipes]

Bury one here.
