GDT: Group B - May 11 - USA vs Korea

[BalticWarrior]

Thats a no goal.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Does someone know the rock song that is played after US goals?

 

[QuietContrarian]

No goal me thinks

 

[QuietContrarian]

Or, from the other angle, it looks like no kicking motion. hard call

 

[BalticWarrior]

Oh shit. That counted? not like it matters

 

[Summer Rose]

Just wave this off, who cares.

Fake edit: damnit.

Since Japan hasn't really been close to making a comeback to the big boys' World Championships, it's kind of refreshing to see an Asian team actually qualifying on merit, rather than how Japan used to avoid relegation. I wonder what having a KHL team in China will do for hockey there. I don't suppose there are any chinese players, who are even close to making it to that level yet.

"Howlin' for You" by The Black Keys. It's also the song played after Arizona Coyotes goals.

 

[QuietContrarian]

So the refs do not believe in the mercy rule, that we know

 

[GKJ]

Koreans are taking some dumb penalties. They're making it hard to not run them out of the building.

Enough is enough though, no need to take a shot on net unless it's an embarrassingly obvious scoring chance.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Koreans will have hilarious GF/GA differential after this tourney

 

[Rangers79]

Who is doing color?

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Korea's backup is significantly worse than Dalton

 

[Kitty Hawk]

Final 20 - 1?

 

[Summer Rose]

Yeah I didn't see how they got their goal, but I have to think even a 7-0 loss or whatever would be better than 11-1

Long story short, Scott Darling happened.

South Korean player got a juicy rebound and mostly fanned on it. Darling had the pad out, and inexplicably retracted it in order to try to sweep the puck away with his stick at exactly the wrong moment, and missed. It trickled across the goal line at about 5 km/h.

Rudi Ying played some games in the KHL in Kunlun's debut season but he has spent the past season on the franchise's VHL team. There will be numerous naturalized players of Chinese descent on the national team, many of them actual KHL-caliber players.

12 - 1? I don't care who you're playing, this is shamefur dispray!

41-3 so far. The game isn't over yet though...

 

[Rangers79]

USA is barely trying to score. When you just put it on goal and it's going in, hard not to run it up.

Our players are running away from the battle!

 

[Quonis]

Hey, at least the Koreans had a brief moment of joy, as they held the lead for the first time ever in a World Championship game.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

41-3 so far. The game isn't over yet though...

That's absolutely brutal

 

[kudla]

WTF is that score.. really?

 

[DDRhockey]

lol I am not allowed to criticize the US team for running up the score. My posts gets deleted. How is this not allowed in the gamethread? I have seen billion times worse.
