Its odd being on the receiving end of Datsyuk isn't it?

[wingsfan4795 552]

Wait, isn't that like the oldest bush league trick in the book, knocking the net off?

Do you think it was intentional? I didn't see him knock it off

[dropkickshanahans 463]

How in the world is that a "good call"? Quick pushed his net off and neither he or the refs fixed it and it only went noticed when Russia got the go ahead goal. Bad call is more like it.

Because it's in favor for my country's team and I said so.

It gives a new depth to the appreciation of the Magic Man. Like Jack Bauer, thank God he's on our side (normally),

And I don't like it .

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Rules say if the net is knocked off, no goal.

Get it back on before the play continues for a while then. It shouldn't have gone unnoticed until it cost a team a good goal, that's all I'm sayin'.

[Dabura 12,207]

How was he knocking the net off? He was trying to make a save it appears to me.

I must've misread the replay. Looked like he knocked the net off, quite possibly on purpose. My bad?

Apparently Russia only has two forward lines, because I haven't seen anyone other than Datsyuk, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Semin, Redulov, and Malkin all game.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Yeah that's what I thought. Great reasoning...

So what's the OT rules? 5 and a shootout like NHL?

Maybe that's not how it works in the IIHF? I don't know or they didn't see and replay shows it was? It was only slightly off.

[Dabura 12,207]

Good on Russia for not getting down about the no-goal. Good body language and such.

Yeah that's what I thought. Great reasoning...

10 and a shootout, I believe.

Man, the Russia jersey even has the red feathers.

I agree, but you can add nichuskin to that list. He's looked good

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Poppin' in for OT. How bout that Pavel Datsyuk guy?

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

It definitely wasn't on purpose. He slid across the crease and stopped on the post, textbook goaltending, but he knocked the net off not even half an inch and play continued and it went unnoticed.

Datsyuk is ******* amazing.

[Dabura 12,207]

Wait, it's five minutes? My bad again.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Let's go USA!

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Datysuk <<<<<3 hockeysiq

[dropkickshanahans 463]

Oh, Kane, you could have redeemed yourself of your awful play today.

[sputman 1,268]

Kane would have buried that if this were the Wings.

[wingsfan4795 552]

Oh, Kane, you could have redeemed yourself of your awful play today.

He was pretty good in the 3rd

[wingsfan4795 552]

It's strange to cheer for guys you normally dislike, but I really like how Kessler has played today

[Dabura 12,207]

I'm pulling for Patrick Kane.

I'm going to Hell.

[Dabura 12,207]

Kane would have buried that if this were the Wings.

I said the same. exact. thing.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I'm pulling for Patrick Kane.

I'm going to Hell.

Actually he appears to have matured quite a bit so I dislike him a lot less.

[Dabura 12,207]

Shootout.
