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

[canswetoxic]

auwwwwwww Russian, keep you head up. It wasn't your luck today. You were robbed by the Ref.

 

[Claypool]

blast that anthem. Let 'em know who's boss

 

[Nsjohnson]

Just stating an objective fact

The Russians handed the win to USA by not scoring more goals than them, only having to score 3 goals. Objective facts.

[Pouchkine]

Terrible game. USA stopped playing and only trapped for 90% of the game Russia were sleeping early and played badly overall, symptomatic of today's boring hockey. Trap Trap Trap, let's avoid mistakes hockey, terrible to watch.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Finland will beat this team if Primeau doenst stand on his head

 

[Thebesthockey]

Is that who you would want defending a one goal lead?

he was benched last year and this year

and he is a defenseman

so when in the NHL he will be benched in the 3rd when team is protecting a lead ?

 

[Jayan]

This tournament just keep getting more weird. All three great hockey nations eliminated.

 

[SabresSharks]

Yep, no team other than the Swiss (and then only relative to expectations) has impressed. A by-product of really defensive hockey?

A by-product of relatively untalented teams this year imho.

 

[Rainmaker]

One of the most underwhelming one goal game semi finals you could ever imagine in this tournament.

Snoozer.

I'm guessing your country wasn't in it. Neither of these two teams were playing Denmark or Kazakhstan. It becomes a slugfest with the big boys, especially when they've played a number of games in a limited period of time

 

[He Is Knocking]

Sweet news to start the New Year!

 

[Satan]

Kostin so sad

 

[SI90]

This tournament just keep getting more weird. All three great hockey nations eliminated.

1 great hockey nation going for gold though!!!!

USA baby

 

[Hemsky001]

Surprised they didn't run off the ice like they're used to.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Took 1 goal away from Russia

It's not soccer. Nothing was taken away from Russia. Except their pride! GO USA!!!!!

 

[Startseva]

Sad not coz of loss, sad coz we could win this, that's it. USA did not show anything extraordinary. Fast and good in PP and used their moments, that's it. With Slovaks we make moments and score, today make moments and do not score. Happens.

Won't say anythign about refs, was all fair IMO.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Weak tournament this year all around talent wise.

This was the 99 birth yr draft
very weak

 

[Blender]

he was benched last year and this year

and he is a defenseman

so when in the NHL he will be benched in the 3rd when team is protecting a lead ?

If he doesn't improve his defensive game, definitely.

 

[Thrasymachus]

unsure what that has to do with Kravstov?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Nothing away from either team but this was LAME semifinal.

 

[Hammond]

I don’t see how Romanov wasn’t one of the 3 best players on Russia. +10 and led all dmen in points.

 

[Newsworthy]

Kostin needs to keep his cool. Don't need to let them show your sweating

 

[Islesfan22]

His infamous 5+ min shift? I’ve seen the video lmao but idk if that’s what you’re referring to

Yes that one. Just an FYI from what I’ve seen of Kravstov he’s not on the level of Kovalev talent wise

 

[northeastern]

This tournament just keep getting more weird. All three great hockey nations eliminated.

All three?

USA doesn't make it? They've had a few first over all lately iirc

They weren't, but I can still comprehend when I'm watching an entertaining Hockey game. That game was not entertaining, and I was cheering for the Americans.
