GDT: Russia - Canada

[tictactoe]

Just checking in... game half over.. 5-0 Russia yet?

No?

Turns out Canada is a good team with a good chance win? Good luck to both of you.

this is not Belarus.

 

[tictactoe]

Russians have their chances in this one but they turn the puck over in their zone.

 

[HungryFrank]

Expected more from Russia. They seem like they are on a vacation

 

[Pasha71]

why? Russia needs changes? this is not the 90th

I can't answer your question without talking about politics, which is apparently prohibited here.

 

[Pasha71]

I don't know Russian, but it sounded like a good song.

It's one of the best Russian rock songs ever, back from 1980s.

Russians have their chances in this one but they turn the puck over in their zone.

So.... when are the goals going to come?

 

[tictactoe]

lol

 

[karlstegger]

crap

 

[NyQuil]

Hey cool, Artem Zub +1.

 

[tictactoe]

So.... when are the goals going to come?

ask that again

 

[jj cale]

Russia takes the lead, that first goal was a long time coming.

 

[Gobben]

Taiwan, stolong!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

GOOOOOAAALLLL!!!!!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Maybe this will open the floodgates for Russia?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Ok, Russia needs to NOT get scored on the first few minutes after this goal.

 

[tictactoe]

Russians are very sloppy in their own zone.

 

[jj cale]

Offensive pressure has getting less and less from Canada, will need to regroup after this period.

 

[Firsov99]

Russia has been slightly better, but it can still go the other way.

P.S. I had no idea that Zub was so solid. In fact, the first two D pairs for Russia are pretty good: Provorov-Gavrikov and Orlov-Zub. A big drop off after that though.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Canada's gotta get a goal in the third here.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

It was only a matter of time that Russia would strike first after Dimitri Orlov took advantage of the defensive miscue by Michael Bunting, and pass it out in front to Timkin with Kuemper outside of his goal crease. Hope Canada can start putting pressure in the Russian zone in the 3rd period to tie the game, or else the Russians will be in their faces for the remainder of the period.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Is this the worst squad ever to don the Maple Leaf? Hanging in there but no structure, plan, or personality it seems

 

[BlitzSnipe]

He got barely touched but sold it well.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

It’s a game boys, luckily for Canada, Russia looks like shit given their pedigreed players

 

[Firsov99]

Here you go: 1-1.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Good goal by Henrique. Anybody's game now.
