GDT: USA (4) vs. Russia (3) • Semifinals • Jan. 4

[Vipers31]

Well the website was out of date. The rule change happened in May, in Russia. Literally anybody on Russia who didn't know should be fired. There is no excuse for them not knowing the rule. That said, I'm pretty sure they did know the rule since I didn't see anybody celebrating after the stop on the third US attempt.

Of course they knew. They wouldn't have used Kaprizov as the 5th shooter. Sidorov was the only one who didn't know.

Another corsi fan.

You should come on our Caps board, you will be very well welcomed

It works

We see it time and time again in games like these where let's face it, most of the goals are lucky.

Other than the kid who skated almost all the way to the goalie and half the Russian bench.

Who scored in the shootout for the us? Fing pvr stopped recording

This page, which was cited earlier, clearly states the new rules.

AND.... This page also indicates that THIS PAGE was sent to member organizations....

Read the Preface if you want...

To everyone who talk about OT until someone score. I think that even 10 minutes OT is to long, because they have to play next day. 5 minutes 3 on 3 + shootout should be enough. Otherwise the team in finals who didn't have OT has an advantage.

 

[BLNY]

Was a great game. Don't understand why the Russian coach didn't use Guryanov twice after the round of 5. Like Terry's hot hand, I'd have kept going with him after the 5 shooters.

Troy Terry with a TJ Oshie esque shootout performance in the World Juniors

That's a fair point.

However, in the NHL though, you have teams winning in 4 games against teams winning in 7 with several OT wins.

If you want the advantage, win in regulation.

Terry, Bracco, Terry and Terry.

Also, the offical IIHF doc, as well as the live feed, of game events (not the video, but the live play-by-play on the worldjuniors web site) indicate that the order was changed after the 3rd shooter, exactly as stated in the rules.

 

[Kyndig]

Hate the shootout but in a single game elimination anything can happen anyways.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Well, his save percentage and GAA gets worse every game, so I don't know how.

Like that freelance reporter you quoted reported?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Great game. Shootout was exciting too. Never liked deciding a game by a shootout but it was exciting. 5 hole looms large for Samsonov.

 

[antidotevsk]

Official site lies to us:
Saved by goalie RUS 21. ALEXEYEV Denis 1. PARSONS Tyler - on goal
Scored RUS 24. VOROBYOV Mikhail 1. PARSONS Tyler - on goal
Scored USA 20. TERRY Troy 30. SAMSONOV Ilya - on goal

but Terry scored before Vorobyev!

Easy to second guess now, unfortunately for Polunin he dinged his attempt off the post. Best I can think of is that they maybe wanted to alternate lefty-righty which kinda reminded me of the US alternating Jack Johnson and Peter Mueller years ago in that long shootout against Canada.

Right, but these are kids and in NHL teams still have at least four games with rest days between them. In WJC team could have to play in less than 20 hours after semis

Ok...thanks, I get the confusion now

There appears to be no perfect solution aside from delaying the final which the IIHF doesn't appear interested in doing.

 

[BatVader]

Should dump the stupid shootout completely and do 10 mins 4vs4, then 3vs3 until decided.

I don't like that a shootout decides a great game like today's.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

I would love that but the players would be dead. And then the gold medal game is the next day. Don't think there is a perfect solution.

 

[SashaSemin28]

Also change the rule that the guy can shoot as many times in a row as possible. It's ludicrous. Further removes the team element from the shootout

 

[Jaykay]

Parsons was very average in this game. I wouldn't mind seeing Woll in the final but I'd understand if they roll with Parsons again.

Even when Toews won it for Canada I thought it was stupid.
