PGT: WJC Semi Finals: Game 27 | US Advances Over Russia 2-1

[torero]

I love it

Way to go Samberg

Are you guys ok ??

Honestly that is an aggression in the most primitive way and you caution it ? in the sport area ?

1 person ..ok ... you always have some haters in the world but 2 ?? come on !

 

[Panthaz89]

I don't know what everyone is complaining about haha, game just got way more exciting.

yeah love watching that stuff at the end of the period because you know its going to be physical for the rest of the game.

 

[KrejciMVP]

The only issue is the US Skater using his stick like that to send a message. Ugly dangerous crosscheck

2 minutes seems right, bad play but that Russian took a huge dive at the same time lol that or he's just tiny and gets tossed around really easily.

He was off balance and the crosschecking took right at the upper chest so its really easy to fall, he don't weigh so much either.

"In the semifinals there is a good chance to meet with the United States. He has a curious background: the Americans include Oliver Wahlstrom, who after the draft said that the Rangers made a mistake by taking Kravtsov over him at 9th overall. Vitali remembered it. “Oliver is somehow too narcissistic about himself,” says Kravtsov. “Let's see what he shows at the World Junior Championships. Is he as good as he says? But I don’t dwell on Wahlstrom. Of course, I much more want to win this tournament, to prove to everyone and to myself, and not to Wahlstrom or conditional Canadians, that we, including myself, are capable of anything. Vatanen said Finland will beat Russia. These words passed to Yevgeny Kuznetsov. As a result, we won and that quarter-finals, Kuznetsov scored from under Vatanen and said that one Chelyabinsk is bigger than the whole of Finland. I like that."

I really hope this didn't come into play. If you feel you're better than the player picked before you, show it on the ice.

Go uSA!
Q Hughes looks unreal !! His skating is droool worthy. Needs to clean up some desicions but looks phenomenal. Russia is unable to get puck possesion or dump and chase when hes out there. Just cant consistently forecheck the dude

I actually thought he played pretty poorly compared to other games

 

[TeddyBare]

Nobody flopped

He didn't hit him in the face

but he acted like he was.

 

[Fantomas]

Denisenko full blown idiot.

 

[JamieG19]

Absolute joke that the Russians don't even get a PP out of that. The bias is embarrassing.

 

[Zippgunn]

This could get ugly. If the USA gets a decent lead watch them start targeting the USA's better players, especially the guys who are aging out of this tournament

 

[XokkeyGuy]

I was pretty much just watching this match just for sake sake of it, but after that crosscheck I really wish Russia goes out and destroys USA in this game.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The shot wasn't even a full second after the period ended. No way can the player be expected to have that much precision with the clock. Samberg's reaction was not within the rules. He should've been kicked out of the game for a check to the head. The IIHF rules are way too excessive to begin with, but they made a cop-out call when the situation dictated an ejection.

 

[kudymen]

Kravstov shot after the period was over, Samberg did his job. 2 for roughing if you're soft.

I dig that super high kick

Cringeworthy.

 

[jfont]

that was a flop by the russian

 

[AmericanDream]

TSN showing the replay again,....

Here it is for those that didn't get a good look..

 

[Jayan]

Wahlstrom still salty over being rejected by the rangers haha.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Both teams played well. Refs get an F

 

[XokkeyGuy]

Had it been the other way around it would be game for the Russian player 5 + 20, nothing to the american who was just defending his teammate and all media would just write how dirty Russia plays.

You can't retaliate for free just because someone else took one.

 

[SI90]

Wahlstrom still salty over being rejected by the rangers haha.

Not even a little bit. He was asked a question and he said the teams that passed on him made a mistake. It’s rags fans that are so sensitive. Isles fans didn’t care about Kravstov until the Rags fans kept infiltrating Wahlstroms prospect thread.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Since when did people think cross checking to the chest is an offense worthy of kicking someone out and suspending them for the tournament? I'd bet my house Kravstov comes out for the second completely fine. It's a two minute penalty and was called as such, Russians didn't deserve a penalty at all though.

 

[Cirris]

No way that should result in offsetting penalties.

The crosscheck to the back of Samberg was just and dangerous if Samberg hits the boards headfirst.

I get that the first penalty shouldn't be evened up cheaply. But the retaliation was unnecessary and just as dangerous.

It's pretty simple. You hear the buzzer you don't shoot the puck. Or you get a licken. Plus if you get cross checked in the chest you don't get a game misconduct for a head shot.
