GDT: 2019 IIHF World Championships - 8 Lightning players represented

[Felonious Python]

My app shows Sweden beat Latvia 5-4 with the last goal being an empty netter...? I assume they've messed something up

Latvia needed a regulation win to get into the quarterfinals so they pulled the goalie.

 

[JoVel]

Kucherov and Sergachev both with 2 point already in the first period in the quarter finals against USA. At least they decided to show up in these playoffs.

They won the first period of the first playoff game.

The official livestream of Canada - Switzerland is working for me in the US.


Switzerland - Canada is one of those weird matchups I actually consider a rivalry. At least since the '02 Olympics when Suisse really emerged on the international stage. Switzerland always seems able to at least give a scare to Canada whenever they play.

Switzerland is up 2-1 after 2 periods.

 

[Hoek]

Canada ties with 0.4 secs left. Insane.

 

[Felonious Python]

Not even close baby.

3 point game for Sergachev as Russia defeats the US

 

[FinnLightning26]

Finland - Russia is an exhibition on what playing as a team does for you. Finland isn't even in the same universe talent wise to Russia and they've been the better team through 40 minutes. Just waiting for the dumb Kucherov penalty out of frustration.

Been a great game. Russia pressuring hard in the third.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Man, that finish goalie. Wow

 

[JoVel]

Russia can't play against Finland. A team full of NHL and KHL superstars got beaten by a team without a single NHLer. They just can't handle the pressure and play worse and worse as they get closer to elimination.

 

[FinnLightning26]

What a game. What a team. Maybe we really should sign that Anttila guy. Two clutch goals in two huge games. Lankinen probably had the best game of his career.

I'd like to see Tampa's captain stepping up in an elimination game.

Yeah. Anttila>Stamkos.

Maybe Coop should take some notes from Jalonen how you motivate the team. It would've been a good tournament for Finland if we got out of round robin and now they're in the final. It doesn't happen without great coaching.

Cooper only takes gum chewing advice. He knows everything else.

He doesn't need any advice on that. That's the one thing he's good at. HoF material I'd say.

 

[JoVel]

Just watch Palat and Rutta get what they deserve and win the gold woth Czech after their amazing performances this season.

 

[Felonious Python]

Man, that finish goalie. Wow

Chicago hordes players like him.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bronze medal game between Russia and Czech Republic starts now

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Sergachev's point shot gets deflected in. Russia takes a 1-0 lead.



edit: Czechs score 2 to take the lead heading into the 1st intermission. Rutta has an assist on their 1st goal.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Vasy is by far Russia's best player

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Vasy makes a big save with a minute left to carry the Russians into OT

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Going to a shootout now

Vasy made 48 saves on 50 shots

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Russia wins bronze. Vasy goes 4 for 4 in the shootout. Great tournament & great game by Vasy.

I take my earlier comments back. Kucherov was an absolute no show in these playoffs as well, one assist in three games after scoring 15 in the previous 7 games. Congrats Kuch, you played in two seperate playoffs this season and didn't score a single goal.
