DonLever Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 All the Germans needed was to hang on to the puck during the last minute when they had the PP and kill the remaining seconds. They should have just try to pass around the puck instead pressing for another goal which they did not need because they had the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 So disappointing to see Germany let it slip right through their fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 German Coach and players showed their inexperience and nerves... had the game, just needed to rag the puck for a few minutes... duh! Russians buckled down in the overtime and just got the job done. Would have been nice to see Germany win, but Datsyuk well deserved a gold medal too. Guess Minnesota is going to start looking at calling up Kirill Kaprizov REAL soon. And would you believe Nikita Gusev's rights are owned by Tampa...? as if they don't already have enough allstar forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I usually don't watch much of any Olympics. Hockey and curling, yes. Don't have much good to say about most Euro hockey. IMHO they have lowered the game with their diving, spearing and slashing. They are pretty good at hiding this stuff. I thought Don Cherry was bang on, on Coach's Corner. Canada facing off against the Germans and both centers are tossed with a penalty. German PP that scores and Canada is out of the Gold medal game. Surprise it was a Russian linesman who tossed both Canadian centers and ensured his country would not face a Canadian team for Gold. What could have been added to this? Canadian dance pair win Gold beating out a French pair who take silver. The French lodge some kind of protest. Who was the French official? Yup the same kind who took a bribe from the Russians many years ago to ensure a Canadian couple did not get gold. He was caught and banned for 10 years but is now back heading up French skating. Bettman was absolutely right to challenge IIOC who are a band of thieves and their superiors on the Olympic Committee are no better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckster19 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone who thinks the international game is watchable has their head so far up their... East west hockey is so boring, large ice will never translate well into the NHL game. Just look at how terrible OT is when it's 4 v 4, it's worse than 5 v 5.

He wasn't a finalist, but the way he turned the team around that year, you'd think he was at least top 5. I can find the voting results anywhere though. You're joking right? Top five?? I'm sure he wasn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a 24th place team with 83 points (coached by Torts) to a 10th place team with 101 points in one year. That's a heck of a jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The KHL has postponed the first playoff games for both SKA Saint Petersburg and CSKA Moscow from March 3rd to March 4th so that players who won Olympic Gold have more time to celebrate.

Rob_Zepp Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Canada is dominating Sweden in this game today. 10 - 0 with 5 plus minutes left in second period. The young newer kids look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 What a completely dominant game for Canada. Italy will be a tougher opponent for game 2 but nice to see a start like this - 17-0 is not really a competitive score but given the coach took foot off gas and didn't play first unit PP after first period and really played younger guys for most 2nd half of the game it speaks to how ready this team was to show they are going to try and bring gold home this time!
