GDT: USA (4) vs. Russia (3) • Semifinals • Jan. 4

[NyQuil]

Those kinds of soft mitts under that kind of pressure by Terry is impressive!

 

[Antonglk]

Congrats to the US. It was entertaining game as always between Russia and USA.

 

[Static]

Raise your hand if you had ever heard of Troy Terry two weeks ago.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Cue the Oshie/Terry comparisons

 

[TimeZone]

Would've went down as one of my all-time favorite games if it didn't end in a garbage shootout.

Shootouts need to end.

 

[NoMessi]

On Swedish TV they said it should be 3 penalties each? They seemed quite sure of it, and if so - Russia would have won. Anyone with more knowledge on the matter?

 

[PTmbp13]

Well this was surprising. Russia won but not somehow. Scandal. Look in the rule book.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Troy Toews... Amazing.

What a game.

 

[6ix]

Same old Russia, can't seal the deal. Terry is a hero.

 

[Peanut]

Samsonov would have faired better doing some "aggressive goal baconcountry style" haha

 

[YourAverageFan*]

The shootout is such a dumb way to end a game like that.

 

[Fantomas]

Would have been happy with the win, but we wouldn't have won gold anyway.

 

[Ola]

Russian coach thought it was best of 3 shots and the Swedish PBP guy had 3 shots in some info he got from the IIHF. The ref's also talked about it after like the 4th shot.

Was anything said by the NA media guys?

 

[xIsle]

According to RDS, it should have been 3 shooters, not 5. They even read the rules. Did the refs made a mistake?

 

[Ilrider]

Hmm didn't USA shoot first?

Reversed for extra rounds.

 

[ViD]

Damn it , good game

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Tyler Parsons named player of the game.

 

[Six Assets]

Samsonov got rekt

 

[XokkeyGuy]

So, 3 or 5 rounds? What does the rules say? Our commentator says it should be 3. IIHF says 3.

 

[JFG]

The swedish announcers were referring to 'the official rules' and said that it was only supposed to be a best of 3 shootout. Does anyone know what's up?

 

[ijuka]

We're all the goals 5 hole?

Reminds me of McKenzie Blackwood from last year where you could fit a beach ball through his 5hole.

 

[YourAverageFan*]

Finally! Parsons deserved player of the game in both of his last 2 starts and didn't get it. Finally gets rewarded here. Definitely deserves to start the Gold Medal game

5 rounds in the medal rounds. New change for this year.

 

[Tecumseh]

Parsons get player of the game for the Yanks

 

[WannabeFinn]

all hail Terry
