WJC: Congrats Russia

[Muuri]

Went to sleep after Canada was leading 3-0

Sweet mother Russia

 

[Juzmo]

Congrats Russia. Not really happy for you, but have to say your team did a heck of a job.

 

[pouskin74*]

You should be deported.

 

[Lilou]

You should be deported.

Born and raised here.

****ing **** why didn't the good ol boys play 60 minutes? Had 50 bucks on you guys couldn't stop laughing because of the nice 3:0 lead and then....oh...well this ****ing crappy ****** third period performance. Heck this was a gold medal game, no need to get cocky seriously I'm mad like hell.

Congrats to Russia but I wouldn't count on seeing many of those in the NHL, more the KHL.

From a swedish perspective I must say it's gratifying in the way that the canadians who were very cocky after the semifinal now got what was coming for them. But I'm also happy for Russia and pity the canadian gentlemen posters here (even though you're not very visible for all the rude ones)

Malkin, Gonchar, Bryzgalov, Babchuk, Khabibulin say Hi

Ok. It was embarrasing that i forgot Malkin, Gonchar and Khabibulin. Bryzgalov and Babchuk didn't have leading roles on their teams anyway. Besides, only Malkin could qualify as a big impact playing winner of "the new generation".

My point is, that the new generation russian players we watched at this world juniors may be more hardworking and with a better defensive awareness then recent ones.

Tarasenko’s ribs were so bad that Russian coach Valeri Bragin ordered him back to the locker room, and Tarasenko refused to go. As Russian goaltender Igor Bobkov recounted, “Vladimir Tarasenko, our captain, he has injury, and the coach said ‘Don’t go’ in the first period, and he said, ‘No, I’m going.’ And he scored the third goal. It’s the best captain in my life.â€

As he approached the podium with Canadian coach Dave Cameron, Bragin quietly removed his gold medal and slipped it into his coat pocket.

Talkin' about "heart" and "class."

 

[jekoh]

but I naively though that "heart" was a racial trait inherent to all canadians and exclusive to euros, especially the dirty ruskies!

Safe to say you never followed international hockey then.

(yes i realize you were joking)

The only russians in the NHL with a SC-ring is Datsyuk and Kovalev

 

[Dosing]

lol yea, was thinking just as the scored the fifth goal that what will Cameron scream now when chasing Rönnberg? -"you sob, why didn't you tell me you were serious and not just thrash talking"

LOL!

We can't talk here about "New Russian generation". It's all about this team. The team that was built from "team first" type of players with big heart. I can tell you that half of this team is not the most skilled players of its generation in Russia. Coaching staff made a hell of a job to build team like that.

P.S. 9 from 10 top scorers in MHL were eligible in WJC. Only one of them made this team. He is 9th in this list. His name is Golubev.

Pfffft. It's all politics

Look at the TROLLS. LOL! Russia never gave up; The moral of the story. Canada felt too comfortable and it cost them. Thanks for vodka, friends. I'll be drinking it with my russian coworkers.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Well, I hope one day our team will start to play soviet not canada hockey...

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

Talkin' about "heart" and "class."

I would like to know what was said in the 2nd intermission.... The Russian coach deserves a lot of credit.

 

[Flyguy_1ca]

Congrats to Russia, well played.

Kitsyn said that Bragin broke his blackboard

 

[BLONG7]

A stunning comeback for the ages...kudos to the Russian team!

They're visible all right... look at posts in the GDTs or in this thread... most Canadians here have been pretty good about the loss and have congratulated Russia. It's just that you and everyone else always choose to ignore them

you are too wrong on that one - Canada didn't feel too comfortable - they ran out of GAS plane and simple - you could see it already in the second half of the second period, even though every ending was for the russians - minus that great shot by Ashton(?) in the dying seconds of the second.

Congrats to the Ruskies. Three times they showed they had the heart to come back under difficult conditions. They deserved it. But can the guys please refrain from singing in the future. I still need my ears for a few years. And I've never heard that much swearing in a foreign language on TV before. It was nearly as bad as Pulp Fiction.

 

[Psycho Papa Joe]

Feel bad for the players who IMO have way to much pressure put on them.

Congrats to the Russians and thanks for knocking the shameless cheerleading smirks off the TSN crew's faces. God TSN's 'Jack Edwardesque coverage of this tournament makes me want to puke.

I say that Sweden got what they deserved (nothing) as well after being cocky during the round robin.

Seriously, are you still hung up on that?
In hindsight, did he in any way lie or make a false statement?
If you still are hurt by what he said, you either haven't really read what he said, or is a really really stubborn person.

Let it go already.

-Edit-
I just thought about the thread and it's title.
This is not the place to discuss this, sorry. Can a mod delete my post?

 

[SuperSaiyanBeastmode]

what I want to know, how many russians went to sleep at the third intermission? it was like 2 am and your losing 3 0, i'd understand! that would suck so much going to sleep and waking up and finding out you just had a comeback for the ages.
