GDT: Kazakhstan vs. Russia

[Fredrik]

There is no official GDT for this game but I would like all people to have a look at the standings after the first period.

Kazakhstan leads 2 - 0!!!

It will be exciting to follow the rest of the game. I hope Kazakhstan can make it competitive for a while at least.

I was just going post this.

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world...

Their goalie must be decent considering the effort against the US yesterday and the 1st period today vs. Russia.

 

[Fredrik]

It would be very interesting to hear from people who actually saw these games what they think.

 

[Kaktus*]

it is 2:2 now..

 

[Le Golie]

Russia is now taking a 4-3 lead into the third period. The shots are 45-14. Sounds like just another case of awful Russian goaltending.

Why isn't Varlamov on the Russian team and in net? He was solid last year and is still 19. Injured?

 

[drcameraman]

4. Rymarev (Gasnikov, Kachulin), 15. Savenkov, 36. Koreshkov (Savenkov) - 21. Tikhonov (Kurbatov), 22. Cherepanov (Anisimov, Doronin), 32. Kurbatov (Sayustov), 37. Gordeyev (Kugryshev)

He is not good enough. That's what the Russian coach will tell you anyway.

4 goals on 14 shots for Kazakhstan, and 8 goals against in total in 2 games? This is bad.. I bet they're kicking themselves for not bringing Varlamov now.

Damn! Boooooooo!!!!!!!

Russia gonna have a major problem when they face better teams if they are letting this many goals in. God damn. Why didnt they bring in Varlamov. And we say Finland's coach is an idiot for not putting in Helenius vs. Russia.

 

[Makmalkin89]

highlities?

 

[DG]

Shots were 60-28 for Russia.

 

[Kaktus*]

Shots were 60-28 for Russia.

60 shots on goal is just crazy..

 

[Paxton Fettel]

wow that score is ridiculous, but I didn't see it, so I can't comment on anything

 

[RedAce]

Any video highlites of team russia's goals??

ThanX

 

[Devils Mike*]

Kazakhstan has a great goalie. 60 shots, my god. I can see that the Russian goalie isn't that good.

 

[member 30781]

60 shots on goal is just crazy..

55 saves isnt too shabby for the Kazakh goalie. But 24 isnt nearly as good.

 

[Debrincat93]

Dadonov seems invisible..?

 

[NYR Viper]

is 24 saves really that bad?......i dont follow the wjc normally but, playing against the top players from a country and allowing 4 goals.....granted he could be better but still...

 

[cska78]

oh my god, who was in goal this time, Galimov?

Unless the goalies pick it up we are doomed
