GDT: Semifinal • 05/22/10 • Russia 2, Germany 1

[Crusty Quinn]

That's it for Team Germany. They had a great run, sad to see them eliminated.

 

[aBurmistrov]

Russia wins!!

 

[Beerfish]

Great game.

You just can't make gimmee mistakes when the opposition is so powerful.

 

[ts11]

Schade, aber ein gutes Spiel Jungs!

Our players can hold their heads up high, overall good game.

 

[aBurmistrov]

German's coach seems calm all the time, like he's having a fun time even after a loss. Thats nice to see in a coach.

 

[KaylaJ]

wonder who will be the player of the game for germany?


and that was a lot of fun. for awhile there in the 3rd with the crowd it was easy to forget the game was tied

 

[8999]

Thank goodness for Datsyuk; and it would be so typical of Russia to follow up this struggle-fest with a 5-1 win in the final or something.

Congrats to the German side and good luck to Bayern Munich!!!

 

[Epsilon]

Germany should be proud of this performance and their tournament in general.

 

[Jussi]

Would have been interesting had this game gone to a shootout. Champions League final is scheduled to air on the same channel as this game in about a half an hour. Network avoided a scheduling nightmare.

 

[FlyingPenguin]

Malkin, Datsyuk and Kovalchuk on a line is just unfair. Not only do they have three of the best players in the world on one line, but they have great chemistry too.

 

[Chicagofan19]

hats off germany! you've played very well.

Will Kulemin miss next game?

Uwe looked the same in games too, always calm, always no worry attitude. glad to see him do so well as a coach

 

[Postnova]

Well like i said before datsyuk line decided the game.

If Russia win the championship is due to datsyuk,malkin,kovalchuk line.

Ovechkin completeluy out of shape.

Hopefuly bykov bring varlamov,nothing against kocheshkin today though....and semin.

 

[lazerbullet]

After seeing Ovechkin and Datsyuk at the Olympics and now WHC... it's Datsyuk>Ovechkin. And I don't care how many points and goals Ovie scores in the NHL.

 

[Like Wall]

That's it for Team Germany. They had a great run, sad to see them eliminated.

No! They can still lose one more game. The fight is not over yet

def! the link i was watching barely stayed around once the final whistle sounded, had to get in their soccer commercials and over to the other studio

What are you talking about? They play for Bronze against Sweden.

Ovechkin completeluy out of shape.

He definitely looks more worn out than Datsyuk and Malkin who've played more hockey over the last two seasons than Ove.

 

[iCanada]

hats off germany! you've played very well.

Indeed.

Now, it is time to go out tomorrow and win the Bronze.

Watching the GWG again, Gogulla REALLY needs to get that deep, and Zepp needs to have more confidence in his defenders ability to take away the pass. Zepp gets caught cheating to his left, and Datsyuk beats him high to his right.

Turning point of the game: Schütz not scoring on that shorthanded breakaway.

Excellent game for the Germans, no matter how dissapointing the end.

 

[Juzmo]

Well thats hockey. Congrats to both teams. Russia for the win and Germany for the good battle.

 

[Vladsky]

Great game Germany.

Good luck Bayern Munchen - will root for you tonite.

 

[kiluj]

Pavel krasava! My favorite hockey player!

 

[Postnova]

Russian anthem,simple the best.
