Russia earns the right to be throttled by canada

You are right so far. 2-0 Canada 2.5 minutes into the game.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

2-1 now. Russia has settled down

 

[CBJWerenski8]

And 3-1 now

 

[CBJWerenski8]

And 4-1. Runaway train.

 

[stevo61]

I dont know if I want to see Canada win more or see Russia lose. What an easy team to hate

 

[CBJWerenski8]

And 5-1. Russia had no chance. The only team that did was the USA.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Shades of 2011? Two goals seconds apart has Russia within 2. 5-3 in the 2nd.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

5-4!!!

5-4!!!

Do you never learn? This happens almost every year.

A good argument against young teams in the NHL? They have the lack of composure that leads to massive swings, just like in the world juniors.

Do you never learn? This happens almost every year.

Yeah, first since 2011 that I've seen.

Congrats to the Russians for making it so far. That is the best Russian team I've seen in recent memory. They didn't have the most talent but they play a smart, hard, cohesive game. Hopefully Russian hockey can return to that kind of cohesion missing since the great USSR teams, and get rid of the superstar showboat crap that never wins anything.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Canada wins. It was impressive the 5 man stack in front of Canada's net to prevent any Russian shots getting through.

shame they put away the whistles....couple blatant calls down the stretch that Russia should have had a 5 on 3...but home crowd...

 

[SavesEmNot]

Okay, I see that a Russian player got penalized for throwing something. What happened?

Your really gonna complain about calls not going for the Russians?
Anyway congrats Heatherington and all of team Canada!!!

 

[ndd17]

Congrats Canada team and Canada fans.

Congrats to Canada.... I wish it was the USA but they couldn't even beat Russia.... If we can't win then Canada is my second pick.....

Move on Major.... most here don't even know what the USSR was... It's Russia now and nothing but Russia... The Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics is dead....
