WC Bronze Medal GDT: Sweden vs. Russia

[deandebean]

The Swedes are playing into the Ruskies' hands; 1-2-2. Man, I guess they haven't figure out that in order to beat the russians, you need great forechecking up front. Relentless forechecking.

Wait a minute. It's the Swedes we're talking about here. What am I saying??? They don't even know the word forecheck.

 

[Slay]

You mean because of NHL and playoffs?

Yes because of it.

 

[UvBnDatsyuked]

There isn't a loose puck that Sweden is beating Russia to

Do any of the Russians know who'll be the coach of Dinamo next season? Does the national coach go back to Dinamo or do they have to find a new one?

Yurzinov was named as head coach of Olympic Team.

I think they'll change it.

 

[wilka91*]

Is Russia ever going to score a PP goal again?

 

[CSKA]

I think they'll change it.

damn i hope ! Krikunov is brilliant !

 

[Panopticon]

So beautiful. It's wonderful to watch Ovechkin and Malkin playing among adults and dominating. Yashin's had a surprisingly good game as well.

And I always enjoy seeing the swedes suffer...

 

[CSKA]

o boy please no more Sokolov please

 

[HF2002]

Hahaha!

10/10 on that dive!

 

[BigE]

Semin.

 

[Predatore]

Zetterberg is arguably the best player in this game, the rest of the Swedish players are nowhere to be seen. Very weird decisionpulling Lundqvist after a quite good period actually. The replacement - Johan Holmqvist - has not played a single minute in this tournament.

Moster entertaining in this game: Malkin & Ovechkin.. no doubt.

 

[shakes]

Wow.. Semin should be an olympic diver..

 

[TORRUS]

o boy please no more Sokolov please

He gave up a stupid goal?

 

[BigE]

I know some might flame for this but to me Evgeny Malkin has looked to be the better, more dominant player in the last two games (in comparison to Ovechkin). Anybody feel the same?

 

[CSKA]

He gave up a stupid goal?

nope he just made a beautiful pass to a Swed again

 

[Panopticon]

Kovalchuk needs better linemates

Yeah, he's wasted in that line.

I don't. Malkin isn't so mature. He's not so physical and and he's not so explosive as Ovechkin.

 

[CSKA]

Yeah, he's wasted in that line.

Good to see im not the only one ..... I mean Kovy has it all ! He made some sick passes in the other games but hes linemates are not good enough

Kovalchuk should consider retirement from the national team ... or we can at least use his shot on the PP?

I know sometimes he is just a ******* on the ice ............but hey YES nobody slaps it better than Kovy on the powerplay ! No one !
