World Champion Finale GDT Sid vs. Geno

[ColePens]

Very happy for Sid, but I care about the Pens more. From a Pens perspective - he looked great w/ talent so he didn't have to do everything himself. Have to get talent in our top 6. HAVE to.

Also loved seeing the speed of the game. Beautiful hockey. Would bring back viewership if they opened it up more.

 

[systemsgo]

Yep. Credited.

Malkin probably has been one of the only good Russian players tonight. Most are showing their limitations. Malkin? He's used to inferior linemates against superior competition, I suppose.

I thought Mozyakin has been good in this game as well, and the tournament. Maybe he isn't as big a name as others, but he is their scoring leader. Panarin looked good in flashes.

Ovi's probably tired from jetlag, but Kovy has been terrible the entire tournament.

Management: Canada would have been better if they have more experience (aka old players).

 

[plaidchuck]

You mean horns and perron arent talent? Heh.

 

[IcedCapp]

I haven't seen Sid that happy and animated in a long long time. Hopefully it rejuvenates him. Geno... Looked despondent. Hopefully he and Ovi party hard tonight.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

I really enjoyed watching these games without worrying that our stars were going to get hurt from cross checks to the head.

 

[Beau Knows]

Canada/Sid wins gold, Game of Thrones tonight, day off tomorrow; great day.

Last time Sid went the WCs he got cross checked in the head after scoring a goal.

Could be wrong but I think I read that something has been wrong with Kovy's knee for most of the season.

 

[Will Hunting]

Sid had at least a point in every game he played in this tournament. Scored a goal in the finals in Vancouver, Sochi and Prague. Captain of SC winner, Olympic winner and World Championships winner. also has WJC Gold, Hart Trophy, Maurice Richard, Art Ross...

Now, that Conn Smythe... Well, that´s gonna be difficult as hell. Like impossible

[StroShow]

Sid looked so happy , He finally has a full summer of health to train after a while.
Hopefully JR can get some talent to play with Sid in the top 6....
I thought Ploktinov looked good and Tikhonov was okay both would look good in Pens uniforms next year!

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Hopefully Malkin didn't aggravate anything, and comes to camp in the fall well-rested and 100%.

 

[Sidney BrOSSby*]

And you're going to Boca Raton!

 

[LucSZ]

Oh Geno.

 

[LucSZ]

Already back to the 412 cap.

 

[Lim Ran]

There's why I love Geno on my team. Look at that picture. He genuinely gave a ****. And you could see it in the game, too, but... Canada was just too good a team. Dat forward depth.

 

[systemsgo]

Sad Geno is sad.

 

[plaidchuck]

Glad team usa nabbed a bronze, thought they played admirable in the tournament considering they didn't even play an nhl goaltender.

 

[crawz87]

Oh Geno.

Mad respect to Malkin, Ovi, Tikhonov for staying to listen to the Canadian national anthem.

 

[Waffle Fries]

The love those two have for each other is great.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Yea, i'd sign Tikhonov in a heartbeat now if he wanted a cheap 2yr contract. Classy KHL'er.

 

[WayneSid9987]

LOL

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Poor Geno. Didn't want him to go over in the first place, but I almost wish he could have won it considering his Olympic loss and ****** '14-'15 (losing Neal, getting injured before playoffs, etc.).

He needed this win more than Sid. Tons of respect for the guy (and Ovie and Tikhonov) for sticking around for the anthem though after his teammates bailed.

It was such a breath of fresh air to see that kind of hockey after watching this slog-fest they call the NHL nowadays. Even after the first period, when the score was only 1-0 Canada, it was the most exciting hockey I've seen in ages.

The NHL needs to do something, because it's gotten to the point where if the Pens aren't playing, I can't be bothered to watch hockey. In the past, I could watch any game, Pens-related or not. Not now. I simply can't watch as a neutral observer now, the game is so damn boring.
