Today I was finally able to see the Russia - USA semifinal, and I honestly don't understand what everyone has been talking about here after the game. What's with all that taunting???
I just saw an American team that started to play dirty in the 3rd, and instead of retaliating physically, Ovechkin and Malkin decided to provoke the Americans. And of course, as the Americans were loosing, the frustration took over and they began taking cheap and dirty shots at the Russians. The Russians just responded to that, but in a classy way (no hits, no slashes).
I also wonder why O'Sullivan wasn't disqualified from the game ... that slash on Yemelin was really dangerous. I remember something similar though unintenional from Sergei Fedorov against Zdeno Chara, and he was suspended for 5 games in the NHL. And O'Sullivan? Nothing ...
And Callahan ... I won't comment his penalty because he doesn't deserve any attention.
