GDT: Group A • Feb. 15 • United States vs. Russia • Part III

[JLo217]

Obvious dive.

Core of JVR/Kessel. I'm jealous of the Leafs. They have amazing chemistry. Can you imagine if they had a legit number one center!??!

Bozak plays well between them, but a #1 center would throw that line over the top. I'm hoping Nonis will figure something out. Wouldn't mind Pavelski, but San Jose wouldn't think of trading him.

 

[Canucks LB]

Please play it smart and DON'T put kesler on the PK for the rest of this game. Is risking losing him all tourney worth one period?, imo no.

 

[Paxon]

I'm glad I've always liked Kessel. It felt dirty since he's been a Bruin and Leaf, but now it feels natural.

 

[Konnan511]

That's a terrible call.

That was an obvious hook.

 

[magic school bus]

Are you kidding me, Kane

 

[Teemu Salami]

That sucks.. Neeeed to kill that off.

 

[Jot]

This game is really highlighting the difference between Kane and Kessel's play style.

Kane relies mostly on his creativity and amazing hands.

Where as, Kessel plays a more simple game relying on his speed and decision making.

 

[illpucks]

Great Period. Datsyuk was amazing. Ovechkin had a great 2nd period. JVR was great.

 

[RastaRockett]

Dive or no dive you shouldn't be putting your stick around a guy with one second left! Stupid play by Kane.

 

[Damisoph]

I would love to have seen Putin when Fowler scored.

 

[kingpest19]

Kane gets the Brown treatment.

Radulov took a run at Brown 100 feet from the puck. Refs are going to call that every time just like they are going to call a stick in the hands every time.

 

[Malkin112*]

Please take lazy Ovechkin out of Malkin's line

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Where all the islanders fans who said JVR didn't deserve to be on this team at?

Please do us all a favor and leave that trash out of here please.

Plenty of other places to talk about that.

 

[Canucks LB]

Remember when people thought the kessel trade was the worst trade in decades a few years back?.

ya, about that

Guy is a superstar (see I say good things about leafs also!)

 

[Pi]

Not Kane's best game tonight. He's trying too hard to deke...just use your speed, the D will back off. He even tried to go 1 on 4 earlier and it led to a turnover chance the other way.

Play like you did against Slovakia...speed through the neutral zone...that's the advantage of the big ice.

That penalty was BS though . I hope the refs put away their whistles in the third...both teams have good PP's and one bad call can change the game entirely.

 

[SergeiSamsonov*]

Are you really gonna call that with a second left?

 

[contour]

BBC Announcers have been great.

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Radulov took a run at Brown 100 feet from the puck. Refs are going to call that every time just like they are going to call a stick in the hands every time.

Doesn't mean Brown didn't dive.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Kane, Parise and Kesler need to play much better in the 3rd.

 

[4thTierSport]

That was an obvious hook.

No holding the stick in there right?

 

[Paxon]

Bozak plays well between them, but a #1 center would throw that line over the top. I'm hoping Nonis will figure something out. Wouldn't mind Pavelski, but San Jose wouldn't think of trading him.

I "wouldn't mind" Pavelski either

Guy' s a champ in my book

 

[adsfan]

These refs bite way too easily...

That means something different where I grew up!

 

[Canucks LB]

OK brown, it's time for you to troll it up and get this to 4 on 4 somehow. Make it happen

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Kane has been far too cute this game, and then takes that penalty. Jeez, the posts saved the U.S twice already. Testing our luck way too much...
