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

[BenedictGomez]

Hit the Russin in the chest. Beautiful flop.

But at least that WAS a penalty on USA.

The true Russian flop was the bogus "kneeing" penalty in the 3rd; he "solid it well" said the commentator.

 

[TimeZone]

Overall including Men’s ? Just u20 ?

Best on best of course.

Is Jack Hughes ice time being limited for some reason?

 

[JamieG19]

Eh. I have no problem with legacy players.

No matter how you slice it, hockey is an expensive sport.

So you like seeing the rich boys whose daddy's have connections always get ahead?

Looked good on the PP but didnt notice him really besides that

 

[TimeZone]

yup, we are the best.

At what?

Is Jack Hughes ice time being limited for some reason?

I was wondering the same thing. You'd think they would want him out there the entire game as he always tilts the ice, but they went very defensive the last 22 minutes of the game. They made it a snooze fest and just killed the clock. Boring to watch, but it worked.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Best on best of course.

Gotcha. I would disagree if it was just U20 being ranked.

 

[Machinehead]

This makes 4 WJC medals in a row for America!!!!

America! f*** yeah!

 

[Plub]

At what?

Whatever we aim to be the best at, of course.

 

[Breakers]

Is Jack Hughes ice time being limited for some reason?

The final 5 minutes was for the forwards he has trusted the most
Poehling
Madden
Robertson
Norris

 

[Scott Stevens]

Seeing the players cry is extremely uncomfortable

Think any of the players crying jumped up and down cheering watching Kovalchuk’s infamous empty netter? Other side of the coin sucks.

Edit- I doubt they would as they probably weren’t walking yet. Oops.

 

[Cirris]

I just have to say I hate seeing all these son's of NHL'ers.

The "N" can stand for Nepotism. Pretty soon the only people playing and managing will all be related or friends. Love to see an average Joe who doesn't have the benefits of an NHL playing Dad and his resources and favors.

I prefer to think the "N" is in DNA.

That and Hockey is a tough game to finance. What better chance to play than being a son of an NHLer.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Unsuspecting crosscheck. Cheap all the way.

Nothing but a 2 minute penalty. The rest is pure whining.

 

[McDrai]

yup, we are the best.

At gymnastics? Agreed

 

[Bixby Snyder]

At what?

Hockey... well actually everything that matters.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Nothing but a 2 minute penalty. The rest is pure whining.

Unless it happened to Hughes.

 

[He Is Knocking]

When your squad wins , you're entertained!

[blindpass]

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

And a Habs draft pick!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Unless it happened to Hughes.

Hughes would not have dove clenching his face after being hit in the chest.

 

[Startseva]

The penalty that led to the 2nd US goal was a bad call imo, I didn't see one there.

There will always be talks about refs decisions.
I am perfectionist in this sense. If you do not wanna call, then play better so they won't have any reason to call. Same with losing, if you have 0:2, don't complain and just try to score, so no one will have questions who is better after the game and no one will throw a stone towards you saying you did not try.

Two same level teams, everything depends on small things. Today... just not our day. As we can say when Canada played with the Finns. No one knows how things would go if we play tommorow with USA or Canada again.

 

[TimeZone]

Hockey... well actually everything that matters.

Lol? I think you're missing the sarcasm emoji. The Canadians and Swedes boast undeniably stronger best on best teams. I would rank them fourth, slightly behind the Russians.

 

[Blade Paradigm]

Looked good on the PP but didnt notice him really besides that

One assist on the powerplay today. 17% on faceoffs today. 2 shots on goal.

He looked okay on the two USA powerplays, but was very quiet at even strength. He had a couple of rushes where he got pushed off the puck, wide into the corner.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Better team won. Grats Yanks.
