GDT: QF • Jan. 2 • Russia 4, Switzerland 3 (SO)

[KRM]

Great, would hate to face the Swiss in the semis.

 

[FinRuutu]

Swiss could dominate the world of hockey if they just knew how to score in the OT/shootouts.

 

[premadonna]

What is the crowd chanting? Alladin, Alladin???

Great game, great effort by the Swiss.

 

[tsujimoto74]

So how long til the Kucherov/Kuztensov comparisons start? Kid has been clutch.

 

[George Maharis]

I don't understand why they reset the shootout after the first 3 rounds... Russia couldn't close it out, so why do they get to go right again? Shouldn't it just switch back to Swiss like it normally would?

 

[Fin9*]

WHY are you skating so ****ing slow?

Thats what im wondering too. They were horrible against us and against you to from my understanding

 

[SimplySensational]

Did the Russian team really jump of the bench and then not go to goalie?

 

[Fulcrum]

Damn what a shame to decide the game like that.

It's like the 09 WJC Semis with Rus and Can

 

[BobDobolina]

Aaaaand another choke by the swiss. But one hell of a tournament they did never the less.

Fifth time would have been the charm!

 

[cska78]

Varnakov will burn in hell, and the little demons will have Zlobin's, Zadorov's and Zykov's faces.

 

[mindfly]

Nice to get tired Russians in the Semi-final

 

[NicoSB]

One Swiss attempt with speed: score
four ****ing attempts without speed: not even close

why the heck...

 

[Fulcrum]

What is the crowd chanting? Alladin, Alladin???

Great game, great effort by the Swiss.

Molodtsy!

Means, "good guys"

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Found it funny all the people saying they got the easier route after losing to canada..... Find it funnier now

 

[CarlWinslow]

What an ass Grigs is. Celebrating like he scored in regulation time.

Celebrating like he had just potentially won the game. And under the rules of that game, he almost did.

Loved the shootout ending. Very exciting finish.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

What an ass Grigs is. Celebrating like he scored in regulation time.

Whaaaat?

 

[PG Canuck]

Sweden probably breathes a sigh of relief.

 

[Prntscrn]

Awful shootouts by Switzerland..

 

[zeykshade]

Loved having that many Bolts prospects in the same game, lol. Three of them come up huge in the outcome as well. Still puzzled why they passed over Grigorenko when they have Gusev and Kucherov...

 

[LOFIN]

Had the Swiss played against ANY other of the other 4 (now 3) remaining teams, I would have cheere for them. What a fight they put up to Russia. Terrific game.

 

[CSKA]

Grigo finally schowed some skill !!!!!!!!

Kucherov !!!!!!!!!

Whats going on with Yak Pavel Bure my ass........ Larionov

 

[Fulcrum]

Found it funny all the people saying they got the easier route after losing to canada..... Find it funnier now

Ye, it's never easier

 

[ViD]

Will be cheering against Canada tomorrow for sure since they wanted Russia to lose so badly.

Go USA!

What an ass Grigs is. Celebrating like he scored in regulation time.

Put the team on his back today
