Good job Russia.

I knew Canada was not winning gold.

Funny how Canadians don't care about this tournament and this match at all but still you swarm the thread.

It's something to do until SJ-DET.

Mayve, if you were watching the games with Titanium-covered glasses

You dispute that Spezza was good all tournament and Phaneuf was an f-ing pylon? I bet you know it deep down and it's driving you crazy.

First, and likely last, game of this tournament I've watched. Exciting game, awful officiating and slopiness was on par with what I've seen of this tournament in the past, but congrats to Russia on moving forward, I know it means a lot more to them.

But you still watched the game didn't you???

No. Had to work. If I was home would I watch it? Yeah, becaue it beats the soap operas.

 

[NyQuil]

who cares about the gold? We beat Canada, that's all that matters.

It seems to in terms of the Russian players.

Although, give your goalie credit for playing fairly solid when Canada was throwing a lot of chance your way.

Without him, the comeback may have been out of reach.

Anyway, congrats, see you next year.

More guys like Perry, Getzlaf, Richards (x2), Iginla, Staal, Toews, Giroux, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, Subban and Doughty would help too. Pathetic that we can't get more players to play for Canada

Canada invited plenty of those players. It's up to the players if they want to accept the invitation.

Actually, to my mind Russia was quite useless for much of the game, undisciplined and having an incredible amount of bad passes. What was strange that Canada still managed to lose - haven't seen this sort of inefficiency for ages. Practically no rebounds won and lots of only illusionary control. Reminds me of typical Finland on a bad day...

Well, unfortunately Russia will be much better tomorrow. Will be an interesting game!
