GDT: Quarterfinal • May 12 • Russia 2, Canada 1

[AlphaCatalyst]

It is actully strange, with the Lightning in the playoffs finally I am not as engaged in the WC as I normally am. But since the Lightning have had time off I have been watching more of the WC. Canada - Russia is always good fun. Go Canada!

I hope we're gonna see hockey worthy of a RUS - CAN game. If that happens it's probably gonna be the best game of the whole tournament, can't miss this one!

Oh you.

Allthough I always cheer for Russia against Canada, today I hope that Canada wins. It'd be cool to see Granlund play against the talented and young Canadians.

 

[UFancyHuh]

anyone know if this game will be shown on VS in the states?

 

[Mestaruus]

Hopefully Canada wins this. Finland and Canada would make an entertaining semifinal.

Doesn't look that way.

Eh oh Canada go!

 

[Fulcrum]

Code Red - lol!

 

[ronnyweed]

Russia has very talented forwards, unfortunately I have a feeling this game will be decided based on their defensive coverage and goal tending.

Russia will score, no doubt about it, but so should Canada.

Can bykov shut Canada down?

 

[Analyzer*]

I only want Russia to lose so this Emelin business can get on with.

 

[Vikke]

Shaibu!

 

[Fulcrum]

Shaibu!

hehe, sounds like a pretty soviet conservative chant to me. Can't imagine canadians scream - "Puck Puck" or "Goal Goal".. hehe

I'm using the HockeyNight stream listed in the first page. Too bad it isn't in English but the video quality is pretty good.

Go Canada!!

What happened to Artyukjhin (spelling?) in the NHL? He seems to be made for the game in NA.

Patrick Elias said he fled.

teams generally don't like players who take dumb penalties and don't respond to coaching
