That Putin joke fell so hard.

 

[zroid]

:lol Russia, wonder how the North American press is going to twist their brilliant performance.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Yep.

WJC 2005 all over again.

 

[ICKE]

How many goals did Putin score in that practice session? Time is running out boys.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Russia collapsing in a gold medal game? How typical.

 

[Socreges]

GET PUTIN IN THERE

Fucking amazing play by Giroux

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Russians getting beat by a Jobber Goalie

Good Job Mikey Maybe next season In the NHL will be better for you.

They could play an AHL goalie in net and they'd be fine.

 

[Fata1moose]

Are they not?

 

[calder]

That Russian D, lol.


Canada playing a great fucking game.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Are they not?

 

[zroid]

geez Russia

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Are they not?

Hey now Mike Smith is a good Canadian Guy

 

[Coldnoodle]

Until Russia can develop world class defensemen it'll be hard for them to compete.

My boy Provorov will save them

 

[ICKE]

Canada is just so good in every aspect of the game. Defending is top notch as well, this Russian attack is no slouch but there have hardly been any shots on goal.

And the finishing has been just brutal.

 

[Coldnoodle]

My boy Provorov will save them

Isn't he like 17? :lol

 

[zroid]

that's brutal. Canada was actually hemmed in for once, looking really tired out there.

Isn't he like 17? :lol

BELIEVE!

 

[Fata1moose]

My boy Provorov will save them

Avs were in a position to draft him and then they decided to win.

 

[calder]

@pwilliamsNHL: Other than Sweden, France has probably given Canada its biggest scare this tournament.

Harsh but barely an exaggeration up till now lol.

Russians at least getting some pressure now, there's no doubt they can score in bunches.

Man so many too many penalties this tourney, they've called it so strictly.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Russia are dead.

No shots in the period.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Russia are dead.

No shots in the period.

Heh heh heh

 

[DrM]

No wonder, Canada is the best team on this tournament. Russia had a lot of trouble in preliminary rounds, their defense and goaltending is average this year. Barulin had one game and Bobrovsky's form is like sinus curve...

 

[Pikma]

What Russia doesn't know is that the Wile E. Coyote facemask is Mike Smith's catalyst, now that he's far from it he's a perfectly capable goaltender

Goaltending is good but yeah Canada has first liners and franchise players out the wazoo.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Ovi will probably need a long vacation after this week.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Jack Eichel is so so good

 

[Coldnoodle]

Jack Eichel is so so good

I was wondering a little earlier, what would qualify as a met expectations season for Eichel and McDavid?

Because when Ovi and Crosby put up 100+ points the league was much more offensive.

MacDavid would need to at least match what MacKinnon did.

 

[Coldnoodle]

MacDavid would need to at least match what MacKinnon did.

I think he'll have a good chance to do that playing between Eberle and Hall.

:lol at RNH though.

You ain't shit now.

 

[zroid]

smh the fuck you doing Belov

 

[Parch]

Canada usually learns and improves as this tournament goes along but this year they started good and finished stronger. No learning curve required. It's an all-star team.

Good on the US too. We were making fun of them fielding a college and AHL team so getting bronze is a very good showing. No news flash that Eichel is good.

 

[Coldnoodle]

smh the fuck you doing Belov

Protecting the motherland.

 

[GSG Flash]

Why wasn't Yakupov chosen for the Russian team? He's probably better than some of the KHL scrubs on the team.

Injured just like Datsyuk and Radulov.

 

[GSG Flash]

Girouxxxx

Injured just like Datsyuk and Radulov.

Ah ok, makes sense

 

[ZeroGravity]

Amazing to watch Crosby work when he actually has time and space to make plays.

 

[GSG Flash]

Giroux and Crosby are new bff's

 

[calder]

Keep whistling Russian fans, it's like sweet music to me lol


What a fucking stacked team.

 

[Indrid Cold]

6-0 lol

 

[zroid]

aayyy... you're off the case, Bob

 

[ZeroGravity]

LOL that goal was Bishop-esque

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Decent Bishop impression

5/10

 

[Coldnoodle]

RIP Russia.

Go home and be family men.

 

[ICKE]

LOOOOOL

 

[ZeroGravity]

I wonder if this performance will motivate more top players to go to this tournament in the future.

 

[calder]

Shots are 36-7 as of a couple of minutes ago.

 

[KernelPanic]

Bobrovsky regressing to his Flyers days out there.

 

[ICKE]

The comeback is on!

 

[GSG Flash]

Dammit, no shutout
