Canada 5 - Russia 3

5:3 RUSSIA !!!!!!!! ROSSIJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BPERÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖD !!!!!

SHAIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bow:

SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!!
SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!!
SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!! SHAIBU !!!

My prediction: RUS 4 - 3 CAN => OT goal by Oooooovechkiiiin! :yo:

I'll say 6-4 Canada.
It could come down to special teams.Both squads have good pps so discipline will be very important.

If Canada stays out of the box, it'll be a piece of cake, say 6-3.

6-2 Canada
Crosby, Bergeron (2), Carter, Dixon, Phaneuf

I'll say 6-4 Canada.
It could come down to special teams.Both squads have good pps so discipline will be very important.
That's my prediction too. Either that or 7-0, 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, 7-6, 6-5, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1, 6-0, 5-0, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 4-3, 4-2, 4-1, 4-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 2-0, 2-1, 1-0 Canada. My prediction WILL come true.

5-3 Canada

Crosby (2), Bergeron, Dixon, Coburn

Malkin (2), Radulov

That's my prediction too. Either that or 7-0, 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, 7-6, 6-5, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1, 6-0, 5-0, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 4-3, 4-2, 4-1, 4-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 2-0, 2-1, 1-0 Canada. My prediction WILL come true.

What if Russia wins?


Or Canada scores 8 goals?

6-2 Canada
Crosby, Bergeron (2), Carter, Dixon, Phaneuf

Man I would love for Dixon to score the game winner. What a moment that would be for him, huh? His only goal at the WJC, a game winner. I hope it happens.

What if Russia wins?


Or Canada scores 8 goals?
Then I'm **** out of luck.

My heart wants Russia to win but I'll say Canada 4-3.

Both have great offense while Russian defense looks shaky compared to Canada. Glass hasn't been properly tested yet though. Canada has last change and kind of home ice too.
Therefore, I'll go for a 6-4 victory for Canada, the last one being an empty-netter.

Edit: Crosby, Bergeron, Stafford, Carter x2 and Ladd for Canada. Ovechkin, Malkin and Shirokov x2 for Russia.

I hope for a clean hitting game, without childish taunting or moronic headhunting.

Pretty evenly matched teams, it's likely to be a very close game.

I won't make any predictions, but I'm really confident about the Russians and my heart is with them!

why was the other thread closed???

whatever man, 5:3 Russia

ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA

and for the non-Russian speaking community, that means RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.. so don't worry I didn't cuss out Crosby

I'm hoping Malkin has a great game tonight. :handclap:

5-3 Russia

Ovechkin (2), Malkin, Radulov, Shirokov

Crosby, Carter, Bergeron

why was the other thread closed???
I guess there were already way too many posts :dunno:

so don't worry I didn't cuss out Crosby

Exactly ... isn't that hard to be a Russian when you're on a North American forum? :lol:

The other thread was a PRE-game day thread (PGDT). It was closed because this one is now open.

Crosby not good enough to cuss out or something? :madfire:

I'll go 5:3 CANADA

5-3 Canada

Getzlaf, Carter, Bergeron, Belle, Dawes
Ovechkin, Malkin, Lisin

I think the game is going to end 4-2 with the last being an Empty Netter. I don't know who is going to win.

Edit: Crosby, Bergeron, Stafford, Carter x2 and Ladd for Canada. Ovechkin, Malkin and Shirokov x2 for Russia.


Stafford is American.

6-3 Canada

Bergeron (2), Crosby (2), Carter, Perry

Parshin, Shirokov, Radulov

Did anyone hear Mackenzie talking about Canada moving Belle up with Coburn and Dropping Seabrook to the third defense pairing for this game due to some match-up issues they are considering and the fact that Seabrook is still a little gimpy with injury? Interesting development for sure.

5-0 Canada

I expect Canada will take the body from the drop of the puck

If we stay disciplined and Khudobin makes a few key save we might win this game, but I think Canada must be the favorite here.

Not making any predictions, just crossing my fingers.


ROSSIYA!! ROSSIYA!! ROSSIYA!!

Stafford is American.

My bad. I was posting on the CZE-USA thread at the same time :)

Lets change Stafford to Dawes.

Did anyone hear Mackenzie talking about Canada moving Belle up with Coburn and Dropping Seabrook to the third defense pairing for this game due to some match-up issues they are considering and the fact that Seabrook is still a little gimpy with injury? Interesting development for sure.

I heard this and like the idea. Belle has been really solid this tourney and is built like a horse. Seabrook is probably better but with the injury, I'd rather the strong Belle against Malkin.

I just want to see a great game. I will cheer for my team and not put down the other guys.

I hope Malkin and AO dazzle and Bergeron and Crosby are great too.

And when the last 5 minutes comes, I hope the game isn't decided yet.

Good luck to both teams.

:yo:

What's the tie-breaking format in international play? 5 minutes of OT then a shoot-out?

Go Canada Go!!!Ovechkin,Malkin and the rest of them are a bunch of suka's

Ovechkin,Malkin and the rest of them are a bunch of suka's

according to the "order" we are only to speak english on this forum

I'm not going to make any predictions but I'd like to see Carter score 2 tonight and pass Lindros for most goals by Canada in World Jr. career and it would also be nice to see Dixon score his 1st.

No need for that! :teach:

Me too,plus he's such a strong skater i think he can use that to good advantage to neutralize Malkin and others.You are right....Belle has played well at this event....he's been more than solid and Sutter had been increasing his ice time steadily.....looks like he is trusting him more and more.Seabrook is not 100%.

I'll say 4-1 Canada...but Russia scares me a lot...I'm glad that Russia has gotten better all tournament and I'm looking forward to a really good game no matter what...it'll be good to see highly skilled players with quality scoring chances and hopefully not dirty plays...no matter what, I'm hoping for a healthy game for everyone and an entertaining game!

GO RUSSIA!!! The Canadian team is arrogant and they are taunting Ovechkin and team Russia through the media and complaining to the IIHF. GO RUSSIA!!! GO OVECHKIN!!!

I'm gonna call 5-2 Canada, same as in the other thread. Canada hasn't had to face an offence like Russia yet, but on the other hand Russia hasn't seen a defence like Canada's yet either. I think that if Phaneuf can more or less neutralize Ovechkin the other D pairing will be able handle Malkin and his 185lb frame no problem. I'm expecting to be on the edge of my seat all game but to never really be scared.


^^^^^

Are they taunting Ovechkin?? Kinda like Ovechkin taunted the entire USA team the other night? He has to learn somewhere that he can't do that stuff. If it's not here, someone will teach him a MUCH harder lesson in the NHL when he tries it there.

We're just trying to help your boy!!

I hope and believe this will be a great game. I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the game (3 AM here).

It really doesn't matter which team wins. It would be nice if Canada finally won, but on the other hand they've dominated the hockey world in those other international tournaments so... :speechles

I predict a surprise: Russia wins 5-3.

GO RUSSIA!!! The Canadian team is arrogant and they are taunting Ovechkin and team Russia through the media and complaining to the IIHF. GO RUSSIA!!! GO OVECHKIN!!!

Does this even need to be acknowledged? All I'm going to say is I've seen no evidence of this whatsoever...on a related note, it looks like "taunt" is the new buzzword in this board.

Canada did go to the IIHF because OVechkin before the game I believe pretends to score goals with an invisible puck on the other teams goalie, trying to taunt them. Canada told the IIHF to be on the lookout for it, and Ovechkin can be given a penelty for it.

ubey canadu, rossiya - chempion :)

Everything i've read so far from the Canadian team in interviews has been nothing but praise for the Russian team and it's high skill level.That's our boys for you......class all the way.

If Russia does win, I think more credit needs to be given to the fact that they will have won 3 of the last 4 junior tournaments (I think...something like that)...you barely ever hear anything about that...

Ovechkin shoots on the goalie as a pregame ritual, not to taunt the other team.. but I guess people will do anything to try and make him look bad.. especially when they can't say anything about him as a player..

If Russia wins, they'll never be given any credit.. people will always look for something bad to say about them.. these guys got absolutely no credit for coming back fom being down 0:2 and 1:3 in 2002 and winning gold.. then they got absolutely no credit when they beat Canada on home ice and were down 1:2 in the 3rd in 2003...

but no, these guys don't have any heart and determination and it's all luck..

Ask Gee Wally(there is a post in the Bruins forum about it, where he has a source) , he said that it's an unwritten rule that you should not go into the other teams zone during the pregame ritual. It shows a little bit of disrespect.

and how is Ovechkin supposed to know unwritten rules of North America??

Hmm this is gonna be even closer than the Czech game....4-3 Canada!!!

Dont feel bad,people say the same things regardless of which team wins in any sport.Its called envy. ;)

and how is Ovechkin supposed to know unwritten rules of North America??


:shakehead

Give it up.. If he didn't know before (which I highly doubt) he certainly does now.

:shakehead

Give it up.. If he didn't know before (which I highly doubt) he certainly does now.

ok he does know, but you can't blame him for doing that before then

Historically the Russian's goalies ALWAYS been underrated & always performed in the final game. Khudobin is not a high rated prospect but like his predecessors, I believe he'll do well in the FINAL.

Jeff Glass got all the pressure to perform & I highly doubt that he will perform well.

Canadians always had lack of discipline against my Russians & it should cost them the victory.

Russia 6 (Ovechkin 2, Malkin, Rykov, Shirokov, Lisin)
Canada 5 (Carter 2, Dawes, Bergeron, Stewart)

GOLD !!!!!

4-2 Canada. Empty net goal at the end
With all the taunting going one, someone will pull the ol' fist pump as the skate down on the brekaway to score the empty net. Remember Halifax?

8-0 Canada.

5-2 Canada....

No need for that! :teach:Do you honestly think the guy knows what that means?

ok he does know, but you can't blame him for doing that before then

Ovechkin and some of his team mates have been disgraced to their country and to the game of hockey. You may argue that it's a culture thing but you think someone classy like Igor Larionov or Slava Fetisov would act like these punks? It's the empty cart that makes the most noise. Think about that for a second.

As for Team Canada, they should concentrate on winning the gold and not get goaded into anything stupid because I wouldn't put it past some of these Russian clowns to start something to keep Canada from winning against them.

I don't think that any Canadian wants to see someone like Harold Ballard handing out his own gold medals that he had made for the returning Canadian kids because of another brawl broke out like in '87 and the team was left them without medals.

GOLD RUSSIA GOLD!

They were highly influenced by the North American culture. The whole fighting, cheap shot and showing off thing comes from the NHL and Canada!

Just remember the first big incident in hockey history : Harry Sinden asks Clarke to break Kharlamov's leg.

Does anyone know where I'd be able to listen to the game online?

That was hardly the first big incident in hockey history.

To my knowledge, neither has ever acknowledged that Sinden directly asked Clarke to break Kharlamov's leg.

The quotiation goes something along the lines, "(Harry) Sinden was saying that somebody had to do something about Kharlamov and I looked up and I realized he was talking about me." - Clarke.

Anyhow, cheap shotting is a part of every style of hockey, admit it or not. Whether its constant stickwork, big hacks, diving, whatever, it's all there in all games.

Clarke's a beauty, pure royalty, for Chrissake!

come on, ppl, hope this is well within PC, but try to understand the motto
"Arguing on the internet is like running
in the Special Olympics... Even if you win, you're still retarded..."

No. :joker:

You need to chill dude. It's just a freakin game..stop taking it so seriously :(

I see Canada by 3 so let's say 5-2 Canada. I think Canada is more prepared to win this game 7-5 than Russia is so if Glass had a difficult first period, I still think we'll win this one. Depth for Canada is superior, can't wait for Phaneuf to say hello to some of the russians especially Shirokov, Radulov and Ovechkin.

Go Canada! :handclap:

Please, English only..should I translate for everybody? :p:

why not? :p:

Canada has the biggest showboating players ever who like to taunt big time. The biggest trash-talkers as well. Starting with Claude Lemeux and finishing with Theo Fluery, who would slide head first all over the ice and then crying after trading from Calgary with cocaine tears. Phill Esposito was such a class, given the cut throat signs to the Russian players, middle fingers to the crowd, swining sticks at the referees. Canadian players behaved so bad, the impression of them lived for years in Russia and is still there. Russians still think, Canadians are just clasless people. Showing middle fingers to the crowd??!! How low can you go!!!

Taunting is highly respected in NHL, GM are always trying to get the biggest Canadian arsehole for playoffs. So give Russians a break. You live by sword and you die by the sword. Canadian players are the most classless players ever. That's the fact.

They were highly influenced by the North American culture. The whole fighting, cheap shot and showing off thing comes from the NHL and Canada!.
I wonder why North American players don't adapt to the silly European diving. Oh wait, no I don't.

I say 4-3 Canada.

Canada -- Perry, Seabrook, Getzlaf, Dawes

Russia -- Lisin, Pestunov, Malkin

IS the game starting at 730 or 8?

They were highly influenced by the North American culture. The whole fighting, cheap shot and showing off thing comes from the NHL and Canada!

:rolleyes:Just like diving came from Europe? I mean, look you can make generalisations about anything, it doesnt make them true. It's pretty much human nature to do anything to win and these things happen and always will.

Interesting. Radio pre-game show saying that Sutter broke up the Perry, Crosby, Bergeron line.

SHAIBU!!! GO FOR GOLD RUSSIA !!!

So am I the only Canadian listening to this game through the Fan590 website? I don't have TSN. :(

......

So by your comment, no Russians can be classy on their own? This ignornant comment negates your next ignorant comment.


Again I say, Ovechkin is a disgrace to his country and to the game of hockey. He was a little brat three years ago when he was flopping around like he was shot with a rifle. He was dispicable then and and it's pretty clear that he's become an even bigger and dispicable brat!

He could use a big helping of humble pie right about now to help him later on in life.

Tension is mounting...glad to be able to watch this game. After this there's only the World Championships to wait for.

Thats not true :lol :lol:

;) ;) ;)

Medvedev... :D

Ya that's it he had to be the most out of shape player ever at the world juniors he reminded me of Goldberg from the Mighty duck movies.Chubby *******.He still in the Flames system?

Nice play by Shirakov, forced Canada to take a penalty too.

Ok so far. 3 things

1. I take back any doubts I ever had about Phaneuf. He is a fricking titan out there. 3 minutes killing penalties over 1 double minor??? You have got to be kidding me! NO ONE can do those numbers. I would consider dark and evil acts if it meant the Oilers could magic up a guy like him.

2. Carter. Carter, Carter, Carter. I hoestly believe we are sseeing the emergence of a new Thornton/Allison. With better skating. A tremendous player

3. Crosby. Did you see the look in his eyes when Crosby knocked Ovechkin offside ? I haven't see that kind of look since Mess in his earlier days. That look of absolute determination This kid can bring himself to this level emotionally. Mess's intensity with an almost Gretzky like skill set? Simply frightening.

Please note I am not saying Crosby will be better then either of them. But he has HOF potential.

The Russian Are Diving, The Russians Are Diving!

Russians are swimming out their bunch of divers

Coburn sure looked slow there. Russia on PP and Coburn 2 minutes for hooking.

russians are diving again to get penalties...how embarassing

is Crosby playing wing or centre with Jeff Carter?

PP 4 Russia, Coburn is out!

Lets GO !!!!

I see the Russian Olympic diving team also play hockey. The Ref should be embarrassed he's fallen for this crap.

In the immortal words of Han Solo, "Great work kid. Don't get cocky!" A couple of crappy shifts and this game could be tied in the blink of an eye.

Nice play by Shirakov, forced Canada to take a penalty too.

Hah. Figures that whoever these announcers are do not even mention Shirokov making a good play, but immediately suggest diving.

Thanks for the updates. It's awful hard to know what's going on without seeing it.

Russians are swimming out their bunch of divers
Can't really see that as a dive, if you mean where Coburn got penalty. It was a clear hook.

Where's that cocky Russian ***** named Ovechkin tonite? Think IF he scores tonight he will go roaring to the bench like he just won the Stanley Cup in OT again? What a BOZO!

He's a very advanced hockey player. Just REAL immature. Same goes for his little comrade Malin.

I really hope they get there ***** smoked tonight.

I can't wait for them to try and pull that crap in the NHL.

No class....

Aw Ovechkin can't take the physical play I knew he was soft

Bergeron laying the wood on Ovechkin

Russia on the PP. 2-1

What a child, could he whine any more??

Damn Ruskies scored

Thanks ref! :shakehead

Ovechkin's certainly solid, but the Canadians are delivering some pretty good hits on him.

Weak goal

2-1 Canada

Scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeeee

Jemelin!!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Canada played so weakly. HAHAHA.

Big goal at the end of the period.

Russia scores!

Bergeron laying the wood on Ovechkin
:huh:

WOW, Russia has 1 shot even strength. If this ref calls a few of the Russian dives and gives Canada a few powerplays this game could be over in the second period.

On a side note, either Canada is covering Ovechkin well or he's not there.

Are the penalties 5-1 right now? What BS!

Ovechkin doing his act.

Bergeron w/the big hit on Ovechkin cough*basicallystoodeachotherup*...

LOL.

These announcers are so bias.

I like how they have the goal horn going and playing "celebration" after Russia scores when 99% of the crowd is cheering for Canada.

Anyone else find that funny?

Does anyone have a boxscore?

It seems like Ovechkin is a marked man.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Canada played so weakly. HAHAHA.
Did you see the first period?
Ovechkin who?

What a child, could he whine any more??

is he crying to the refs again?

that's something that has really dissapointed me about ovechkin...he is a serious crybaby, looking to the officials for a penalty after any bit of contact that stops him from having his way

2-1 Canada after the first, here are the goals and assists so far. What's happening after the period??

15. GETZLAF, Ryan
(7. CARTER, Jeff)
(19. LADD, Andrew)

20. SYVRET, Danny
(29. COBURN, Braydon)
(37. BERGERON, Patrice)

20. EMELIN, Alexei
(19. SHAFIGULIN, Grigori)
(11. GALIMOV, Alexander)

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Canada played so weakly. HAHAHA.

I don't know what's funny Canada dominated the period.Someone should tell the Russians the diving board is at the other end of the arena

Ovechkin crying like a baby after that period.

"Russians going down like free beer at a frat party."

Nice line Pierre. The truth too. Russians are diving all over the place.

Solid first period. Glass didn't have a chance on the goal, off Dixon's stick. Just have to stay out of the box and the game shouldn't be too close.

Ovechkin doing his act.

Bergeron w/the big hit on Ovechkin cough*basicallystoodeachotherup*...

LOL.

These announcers are so bias.
It's still a hit. And it was a pretty nice one.

Anyone know how severe that slash on Carter was?

HF is getting crowded tonight.

Getting database errors every other time I click to the next page.

Malkin and Carter end up with coincidental penalties after some kind of confrontation at the buzzer. :dunno:

Good job by the ref to take control. I didn't see what happened, though.

Weak goal

2-1 Canada

There was nothing weak about that goal. The Russian D very wisely waited until there was traffic in front of the goal, then snapped a quick wrister through the traffic. The puck may have hit something on the way, but it was still a good play, I'd say.

Ovechkin doesn't impress me in this tournament... On other hand Malkin looks smooth as hell. He's so big, such a good skater, good speed, amamzing passing, hopefully he start shooting more.

For someone with such a good shot, Ryan Getzlaf is way too patient with the puck.

MalkinMalkin, malcolm, milkin, molekan whatever......lol.

I missed the "k".

Carter owns! I'm serious this kid is going to be a mega star in the NHL. HOF potential in this kid! Carter really reminds me a slick Joe Thornton. Now I know why Philly loved this kid so much.

WOW, Russia has 1 shot even strength. If this ref calls a few of the Russian dives and gives Canada a few powerplays this game could be over in the second period.

On a side note, either Canada is covering Ovechkin well or he's not there.

See this is why I wish it was on ESPN. Because now the only people seeing the game are biased canadians claiming everything is a dive(which it could be, but who knows when its onle canadians seeing the game).

why are you people crying about the penalties?

the last two were clear calls.... a crosscheck to the back after a nice hit, and the trip after the Russian DEKED the Canadian dman and was moving in on goal...stop listening to the biased TSN commentators and watch the game!!!


Anyway, Canada is looking impressive, they make the Russians seem so slow...amazing. But it's going to be a close game...the team that scores the next goal wins ;)

I don't know what's funny Canada dominated the period.Someone should tell the Russians the diving board is at the other end of the arena

Which game are you watching, my friend? I haven't seen too much diving there. Objectivity, objectivity...

is he crying to the refs again?

that's something that has really dissapointed me about ovechkin...he is a serious crybaby, looking to the officials for a penalty after any bit of contact that stops him from having his way

Crosby even laid one on him

What makes you so sure you're the one being objective?

I am watching the game, I am not biased, and there is no diving.

What makes you so sure you're the one being objective? :clap:

Sure buddy.

Diving all over the place.

Considering that most Canadians (and MOST people on this board) are very knowledgable about the game, I think we have a pretty good idea of what is and what is not a dive. I mean come on, we've been watching the Russians for years. ;)

no diving...unless ur strictly a canadian fan

which diving incidents are you referring to?

the trip after the nice deke?

hmmm what else?

Wow, some (not all) posters on here have to be the biggest hypocrites in the world. In one thread, they'll complain about all the clutching and grabbing going on and how the ref's need to come done on it. But in here, everyone calls Ovechkin a crybaby because he is being clutched and grabbed, and he doesn't want that crap. And everyone time someone is clutched or grabbed on the Russian team and a penalty is called against the Canadian's, everyones immediately calling it a dive. Maybe the ref actually made the right call is trying to clamp down on the clutching and grabbing so the star players can showcase there skill.

What makes you so sure you're the one being objective?

Well, I don't much care which team wins this one. They are not my favourite teams, which should be obvious from the flag below my avatar. I just enjoy the good hockey.

Seriously, please point out a single diving incident for me.

Ovechkin this, Ovechkin that. He's a marked man playing with undrafted talent. You don't hear the Russians marking Crosby. ;)

I am watching the game, I am not biased, and there is no diving.Please.

You Stevie Wonder or something?

This thread makes the message boards where I'm chatting about USC-Oklahoma seem impartial. And that one is nothing but Sooners and Trojans fans yelling at each other.

And I'm not being biased towards the Russian's, I'm Canadian, and offering a point of view.

everyone calls Ovechkin a crybaby because he is being clutched and grabbed

Clutched and grabbed? Try knocked around. I didn't realize Ovechkin was such a *****. I thought he was supposed to be a tougher more physical Kovalchuk? Guess not.
:eek:

IMO, I think that is what a penalty on Coburn, and I doubt that it was a dive... however, no one can tell me that there was no embellishment on the Russian's part. He practically went down like head been shot.

All in all, pretty good game/

Ovechkin this, Ovechkin that. He's a marked man playing with undrafted talent. You don't hear the Russians marking Crosby. ;)

actually the top 9 Russian forwards are already all NHL property

Sure buddy.

Diving all over the place.

Not all over the place but it's there. I'm trying to be as objective as possible but there were a couple of Russian dives. It's to be expected though.

Considering that most Canadians (and MOST people on this board) are very knowledgable about the game, I think we have a pretty good idea of what is and what is not a dive. I mean come on, we've been watching the Russians for years. ;)

:lol

Well, Ladd shouldn't have cross-checked that Russian player. I know, it shouldn't be called a penalty in gold game but the ref is the same for both.
And that Coburn hook. Not a dive. I would have called it and I'm a ref myself. :)

ovechkin cries to the refs when someone makes a clean play on him...everything i've seen of him this tournament screams primadonna

i'm rather dissapointed, and i'm not all that impressed with his play in the end...maybe i expected too much, but i did expect more

Clutched and grabbed? Try knocked around. I didn't realize Ovechkin was such a *****. I thought he was supposed to be a tougher more physical Kovalchuk? Guess not.

You're Canadian?

Seriously, I don't think you're Canadian. Russian in disguise me thinks with a mistake like that. Even leaflander doesn't mess up english that bad.

Well, I don't much care which team wins this one. They are not my favourite teams, which should be obvious from the flag below my avatar. I just enjoy the good hockey.

Hey, I didn't say anything about diving. I personally don't think there's as much as Pierre McGuire would have us believe (that's not to say there isn't any, though).

But your "objectivity" comment was pretty silly.

Clutched and grabbed? Try knocked around. I didn't realize Ovechkin was such a *****. I thought he was supposed to be a tougher more physical Kovalchuk? Guess not.
:eek:

Everytime he's come down the wing he's been stood up and then held against the boards. That's clutching, and it's slowing the game down.

It's big fun to follow a game on 2 forums : HFBoards and a Russian board.

Here it's all biased except for a few Russians like me.
On the Russian boards, it's 99.9% biased.

:lol
