[Pentothal]

They really came ridiculously close to tying it up.

 

[loyaloil]

What? No magical play?

No magical play without Eberle

 

[McJC]

If only Beaulieu came back on that 3-on-1... this game could've been tied

 

[Harikkerk]

I'm so glad i stayed up so so so so GLADDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a Swede and i'm proud of the Canadian kids. Holy ****a, what a comeback, so damn close! HOLY HOLY HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

 

[Elite Prospects]

Holy ****. This is the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen.

 

[Kaktus*]

Respect to Canada. Great game in the end.
Almost had a heart attack

 

[Golden]

Nice effort in the end there. Would have been an incredible comeback.

 

[trickster]

entertaining!

Can't go down 6-1 and expect to win.

Let's go Sweden!

Too many classless players on Russia to root for them!

 

[DCDM]

Sadness.

 

[WoratCase*]

I hate when the better team loses.

 

[JustGivingEr]

Post away from tying it. I'm proud of the guys.

I hope Russia wins now. They had a heartbreaking off season.

 

[WayneSid9987]

So close man.

What a wonderful hockey game.

Congrats to Russia and all their fans.

 

[Scottrockztheworld*]

Good comeback attempt, if Canada didn't act like idiots for the 2nd they would have done better.

The team had a little more heart then I originally thought which is god to see.


Canada needs better goaltending, haven't had a great goalie since Price.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

What a game.. Strome so close to tie it, he was cheering for a sec...

So close... but what a game they gave us..

 

[KRM]

This game had everything. Too bad Canada couldn't tie it, but I do prefer facing the Russians in the final.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Fun game. Better team won tonight.

Had Canada bothered to play a team game early on, they wouldn't have been in that position. Started playing a team game in the 3rd and look where it took them!

 

[Kamal007]

They never gave up and showed heart. Thats all I can ask for.

 

[Mara]

Great job Russia, two years in a row in a small rink!

 

[22Brad Park]

Congrats RUSSIA good luck in Gold Medal game,

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Allow me to say that as someone without a dog in this fight, I am thrilled for those Canadian kids, that they sucked it up and made such an amazing run. I cannot watch the game, so this thread was how I kept track of it. It was very entertaining. Congrats to both teams.

Thanks. Good classy post.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Loading a team with just skill players. Worked in the 2006 Olympics.

 

[obanga]

Welp, that boneheaded second period didn't help.

Fantastic 3rd period though.

 

[BruceOp]

I'm more happy about the near comeback than I am upset about the loss!
Canada must be soo hard to beat for any country at any level!

 

[Mully]

Russians pulling their goalie was the clincher.

Good game, grats to Russia.

 

[NyQuil]

10 more seconds and who knows!?

A lot of relief on the faces of those Russian players.
