Will he have anything left in the tank if he left it all in game 7?

Just once I'd like to see these guys act pissed and refuse to play until next season. I guess it's ho hum, onto the next city and game.

The level of the competition is far lower in the WC. I expect Ovi to destroy those defences, save for Canada and Sweden.

Sweden went home yesterday.

Only Crosby and USA's students left. And 43 years old Jagger.

Did it occur to you that perhaps it helps them get over the pain of our loss? I would probably do the same thing. If I knew how to skate I would go out and play a hockey game right now, I'm so heartbroken. Instead I'm playing soccer tonight, next best thing.

I want Ovi to spank 'Murica

 

[RandyHolt]

Hanlon looked distressed after his lost yesterday.

I saw Sjogren out for Sverige

Are you familiar with the concept of a country?

Be pissed! Go on vacation! Don't play hockey!

 

[SimplySensational]

God this is terrible. Why is Ovechkin not being pissed and not playing hockey? He should sit around and sulk, not score goals!

Ovi 1 + 1, Russia wins 4-0. Gave the puck back to Malkin to get the ENG.

He absolutely schooled Torey Krug. Nice altruistic play at the end with Geno.

 

[John Price]

Perhaps the happiest I've ever been that the USA lost, let alone got blown out.

Get that gold tomorrow.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Nice goal in a game few care about....

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Ovechkin vs Crosby for the Gold. That's exactly what we need right now...

 

[SimplySensational]

Its like watching the NHL all over again.

Ovechkin cuts into the middle, has 2 ****ing sticks in his hands, not a hook.

 

[John Price]

Way to implode

Team Canada is a bunch of NHLers, coached by an NHL coach. What do you expect

 

[capsfan59]

Russia has no talent on defense. You can't win like that.

 

[SimplySensational]

Kind of expected, the Russian management wanted Orlov.

Too many people look at the forwards and think somehow they are supposed to compete. Ovechkin, Malkin, and Datsyuk are all top 10 players, but when your best dman is Markov... Then who is it after that? Emelin? These are #3 and #4 defenseman on a decent NHL team.

And Russia ain't looking too good up the middle for the future either.

Datsyuk retiring will leave a gaping hole down the middle.

 

[Raikkonen]

Much talking about the grim situation tonight after the game. Some ppl think it will be much better when those will play who went to hockey schools last 2-3 years.

 

[capsfan59]

Well, Kuznetsov will take over.

 

[artilector]

It's not really surprising at this point. Just outclassed as far as overall organization and defense.

But I have faith in Kuz's generation...

Malkin, Kuznetsov, Anisimov, Namestnikov/Tikhonov.

It's not that great, but it's not bad either.

I didn't see most of it, but from what I did, the Russians weren't going to the hard areas to get the puck, the Canadians were. Russian's have talent, but they need to be able to counter the way the Canadians play if they are going to find success regularly.

I watched the whole game. Canadians just had more skill and speed, it's that simple. Russians just didn't have ideas on how to deliver the puck to the net, while Canadians outnumbered them regularly.

Russians need a genius coach to win against an easily stronger opponent, and Znarok isn't one.

 

[Hivemind]

Is this the Ovechkin thread or the Russian WHC GDT?
