[Fried Tree Sap]

What are the overtime rules for the semis? Is it still 10 minutes of 5 on 5?

4 on 4

Rest of the players have to do a better job giving Greenway somewhere to pass to there.

 

[Magic Stick]

Guryanov with the powerful move. Love that.

 

[NyQuil]

Glad the ref didn't call that.

 

[Daeni10]

Make sure to push him into the goalie. Learned from Orpik I guess

 

[Kovalev27]

Def wouldn't say parson hate. That's not fair. I like the kid he's just small and actually plays even smaller with his stance. Just like that Woll kid much better. He would have been my guy today easily. You beat Canada in anything you earn the big game as far as I'm concerned.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Glad the ref didn't call that.

Yeah all things considered these Ref's have done a great job.

 

[JPeeper]

I've only seen the last 7 minutes, but was the rest of the game this good? Forgot it was on so early.

 

[Daeni10]

Sweden are generally pretty good too:

2013: .927 sv%
2014: .934 sv%
2015: .912 sv%
2016: .912 sv%
2017: .926 sv% so far

Swedish and Russian goalies play in SHL and KHL most of the time, so I think that this is a pretty huge advantage compared to CHL

 

[NyQuil]

Russians can't buy a call here.

Worked out for them in avoiding the goaltender interference.

Yeah it's been really good start to finish.

 

[Jaykay]

Kaprizov has been pretty quiet lately, which scares me.

 

[TLEH]

Bellows is not going to be an NHLer I don't think

 

[ObscureAlien]

refs letting em play

 

[TimeZone]

Man these refs seem to certainly be favoring the Americans...

 

[c9gunner]

Wild game

 

[Urgi]

what a game

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Great shift White.

 

[Fantomas]

Worked out for them in avoiding the goaltender interference.

Oh please. That wasn't even close.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

This is getting stressful

 

[snipes]

It's been a very good hockey game.

 

[NyQuil]

There was the one trip that wasn't but overall it's been pretty good reffing.

 

[Fantomas]

Man these refs seem to certainly be favoring the Americans...

Yep.

 

[DaveyBumbles]

Kaprizov has been pretty quiet lately, which scares me.

Yes. Very quiet the last period or so.
