I haven't really watched that series, can anyone comment, is it really this bad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUinrGIqJHI&feature=youtu.be

So I tried doing that and I can't even put the puck there while skating, forget about getting the shot off.

Recent game of the European tournament between Russia and Czech Republic I miss his awesomeness...

Seems like an unfair stereotype because of a couple of players. Who exactly are you talking about? Yashin?

2 Russians got drunk? No way!! Seriously though, shouldn't do that before a game, let alone a playoff game... definitely shows a total lack of commitment.

A "good Canadian boy" got ktfo'd by a soft Russian? Travesty!!

a bunch of grumpy old men here.... the whole all star thing is for the kids. It's not all that bad. When I was a kid with no deal and had nothing better to do I was excited for it and watched it and thought it was pretty cool. It's not that it got worse now, it probably got ever better, but I just grew out of it.

Seriously?? Gaborik, Iginla, Kessel, Seguin, or how about Corey Perry?? I hope they do put Datsyuk and Perry on the same line, that would be interesting :!:

That #7 on D is probably from a "C" level beer league Sick goal though, I hope Datsyuk does try it and in a game too!

I saw a complete comeback like that a year ago in the final

I'd really like to know what Boston/NESN did to increase by almost 50%

Wow, I never paid enough attention to realize what a ***** Briere actually is, I used to like the guy...

Its a natural progression of the game and yes we love to blame the officials for everything. I used to referee myself and let me tell you its no easy task. Obviously it was at amateur level and the things moved so fast that sometimes I pretty much had to guess as to what happened and try to make it look like I knew what I was doing... Of course those guys are supposed to be professionals but I can see where they sometimes can't possible make the right call. Maybe they should employ a slomo replay system with the referee sitting there and looking at it and calling penalties that way? I think I would be for it.

Russia has a stacked roster and should be able to take this one. Of course we all know how that turned out at the Olympics... Although I'm obviously a Russia fan I DO NOT WANT DATSYUK JOINING THEM, GO WIIIIIIIIINGS

He is a smart guy. If he thinks that he can't be a top player anymore he is going to retire. It's way classier to leave when you're at the top of your game, and we all know Nick is all about class. Unfortunately for us all his age is becoming a factor. Just think how many mistakes and giveaways ,uncharacteristic of him, you saw this playoff year. Too many for the Nick Lidstrom I'm used to seeing.

You can flame me all you want for this but it really feels like Mickey has become the biggest homer this past season. Ken is still good, but Mickey has been irritating me this season. EVERYONE knew that 1-st goal was going to be disallowed and Mickey kept saying "Its a good goal" Mickey's first reaction in any situation is always pro-wings, only after he sees the irrefutable evidence he kind of says "ok I guess I was wrong this time", but he is wrong most of the time.

Hey guys, whats the pass for drumnj's stream?

Too bad, we could use his giveaways to get some breakaways or 2 on 1's tonight (still sour from the Olympics)

1998 Nagano: no medals for US/Canada 2002 Salt Lake City: US/Can final 2006 Torino: no medals for US/Canada 2010 Vancouver: US/Can final I think I'm starting to pick up something here...... /puts on tin foil hat

I lost all faith in Bykov after this game. Hopefully it will be restored before the tournament's end. My eyes almost came out of their sockets when I saw Fedorov and Kozlov against the Hossa line in the late stages of Overtime, and sure enough the Slovaks almost scored. Ovechkin 3 times in the shootout? I know he was the only one who actually battled and played with heart all game but you HAVE to go by stats in the shootout, not by emotions. Where was Kozlov and Radulov in the shootout?

I tried watching online and last night they had no commentary. It was kind of weird to watch without anybody saying anything

Old man Fedorov set up the first 2 goals, threw a couple of thunderous hits and played an overall excellent game. Whoever said he is the real captain is right.

Thanks a lot for the link! Just what I was looking for. Finally somebody with common sense made it easy.

Kovalchuk did snipe that World Championship Winning Goal against Canada in 08 Something Ovechkin hasn't done (yet)

I don't want to bring pessimism to such a sweet sounding thread. But this kind of sounds to me like they're rushing him back. Why not send him to GR for a couple of games? The guy hasn't used his skating muscles in 4 months!
