Congrats to Canada!

Team Russia is very good team! It's incredible how far they got in this tournament with such bad goaltending and such bad PP! 5 on 5 they absolutely dominate! It is shame that our only loss happened when it was so important!

Brodeur was the difference. Officiating was bad (terrible in the first period). Overally, the ref gave the edge to the Canadians. On the other side, I think it wasn't offside, should have been 5:3. It wouldn't matter much cause Russians would immediately score for 4:5 and than it would be the same thing.

I am so impressed with Ovechkin and Malkin! They will dominate this game very soon! If they are not dominating it allready...

WHY did Henriksson get RUS game again? He was a ref in 4 games where Russia played out of 8. Im not saying he was biased, but he didnt ref well.

Same with Thomas Andersson and SVK. He refed 3 or 4 of our games and he sucks.

No.1 priority for hockey should be better refs. Cause some of these refs in these WC's suck.

Russia is once again the shining example that the game is played on the ice. They have looked awful for the past couple tournaments on paper, but whenever a Russian national team comes together, they are just a treat to watch.

Brodeur deserved the player of the game, the Canadian defense (as a team, not even individual players) left him out to dry for much of the last two periods, it seemed like they really underestimated how the young Russians would come back.

Its great to see us in the final again, GO CANADA GO! From this game, I will be rooting for Russia to win the bronze.

I was all set to watch a classic, but the ref completely ruined that game in the first period. Poor penalty calls against Russia completely took BOTH teams out of their game-plans.

There is absolutely no way to tell which was the better team. Canada didn't free-wheel because they didn't need to.

I was happy Canada won the game, but I didn't like winning that way.

Thats an intelligent post. Europeans are divided in several nations. Maybe you should go back to school (or perhaps your still in it)and actually study some. Generalization is not a word your obviously familiar with. Well done.

Oh man, this thread isn't even about the game anymore. Why is it that there is always a fight in these international gameday threads? The game is over with, and no one cares about National sports. Say good game, and leave it. I'm getting tired of seeing fans of countries whining about which country is better.
