The 2-2 goal, there is no denying the czech player did an intentional foul to secure the goal, "hoping" that the referees would not see it when there was nothing else going on in the game at that moment, except a hockey stick suddenly flying 3meters upwards. Video reference http://www.mtv.fi/sport/mm2015/uutiset/artikkeli/video-tama-meni-tuomareilta-ohi-tshekin-ylivoimamaalissa/5088794 Sorry if im talking about old news, but anyway i cant wait to see czech to get absolutely rekt by canada today. Hopefully cananda keeps doing what they have been done and send the czech fans crying home after 0-10 loss as they deserve. | ||

Seeing him in interviews and in game... he looks like he is in full party mode. The Czech's added Plekanec. I find sometimes adding in these star players at the last minute sometimes makes team play worse. Is Spezza's stick even legal? LOL. Seguin with a lazy pass across the middle of the ice just in front of his own blue line.. ya.. Seguin is partying hard in Prague. | ||

The atmosphere was great and the event was very well executed. The Czech Republic was a great host. I wanted the Czech Republic to win the bronze medal this morning.. but they lost  its a cryin' shame the Czech Republic and the 43 year old Jaramir Jagr didn't win a medal. Jagr really ran out of gas, playing 3 games in 4 nights and the team really leaning on him big time. | ||

Like said above, no shocking surprises. Except that i would prefer to see Canada-USA and Sweden-Finland games in this tourney. Oh well, not every year.

Russia held Canada to below its average in goal scoring... Canada was averaging almost 7 goals a game. Canada scored 66 while only giving up 15 goals in 10 games. 66-15 in goal scoring is the most dominant win by a country since the Soviet Union broke up and hardly any NHL-ers played in the event... we're talking like before 1990. Half of the 3rd period was still tense because of the Russian's dangerous offense and their history of huge come backs. Canada and Russia put on the most entertaining hockey games in the history of the sport. Good Games All Around. Great Event Hosting By the Czech Republic. | ||

Shots of Goal: Canada: 37 Russia: 12 (!). Dangerous offense my ass. Out of these 12 shots: Ovi - 2, Malkin - 2, Tarasenko - 2, Kulemin - 1, Kovalchuk - 0, Anisimov - 0. These 6 dudes totaled same amount of shots as one young Tyler Seguin. Good job! | ||

My post was serious and hardly a troll of any kind. Russia got shut down by a record breaking team that went 10 wins and no losses and scored more goals than any other team in the 90 year history of the tournament. Also, in Russia v. Canada games ... often Russia has very few shots and the games are still close. Many serious hockey observers consider December 31, 1975 : Montreal v. Soviet Union to be the "greatest game of hockey ever played". Shots on Goal ? 39-13 in favour of Montreal... google it if you doubt me.. there are 3 hour documentaries about this game. Any intelligent hockey fan was on the edge of their seat going into the 3rd period because of Russia coming back from the dead.. like they did in this game here... 5 goals in the 3rd period. Here is some dangerous offense... and i can rattle off at least half a dozen other huge mofo 3rd period comeback the Russians have pulled off over the years. They were the defending gold medal champs and won 4 golds in 7 years. its the high powered offenses that both Canada and Russia possess that make their games the best in the history of hockey. pretty sad you think its a troll though... its too bad u r so serious and can't just enjoy the games... i had a great time watching these games. | ||

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/russia-facing-sanctions-for-leaving-ice-at-worlds/ It should be noted that the best player in the world, Alex Ovechkin, remained on the ice during the anthem. "Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Viktor Tikhonov and Dmitry Kulikov were among the few players who remained on the ice for the anthem." ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xRd82SG.jpg) I hope Ovechkin wins either an Olympic Gold or a Stanley Cup or both before he retires. | ||

The IIHF also puts on other great events like the Women's World Championships and the World Junior Championships. If you liked this event I recommend checking out these other events as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_World_Junior_Ice_Hockey_Championships http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Women's_Ice_Hockey_World_Championships | ||

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/russia-fined-85000-for-leaving-ice-before-canadian-anthem/ "the IIHF said Kovalchuk gave an `unmistakable head gesture` as signal for teammates to skate off the ice early after collecting their silver medals." again, 1st class guys like Ovechkin stayed on the ice and listened to the Canadian anthem. i hope the guy wins a gold medal and stanley cup because he is worth paying money to see and is just a 1st class dude... and for the record .. he is the best player on planet earth. as far as Ovechkin's class and dignity goes ... i can't say the same for many of the other russian players, especially that contract reneging, lying rat Kovalchuk. Though. funny thing.. when the russians had 1 of the best comebacks i've ever seen in an IIHF game in Buffalo .. coming back with 5 goals in the 3rd period to win gold. .. every canadian stayed on the ice with tears in their eyes. | ||
