I was so nervous for this game. I ran a quick lube shop and we had no customers at game time. normally i would have told my techs to find something to clean. That night I said 'come watch this game.' I wasn't alive in '72 but I like to think I did my part in 2010.

[@primetime99]

The Nash Goal 26:55 was just awesome. Malkin dances with the puck too long, Toews forces the turnover. Puck finds Richards's stick and all three Canadian forwards ACCELERATE. Especially Nash. Richards outlets it to Toews... Nash blows past two Russian backcheckers, receives the backhand pass from Toews and snipes it top cheese past Nabokov. Game, Set, Match.

[@thissignupisretarded]

Nash hustled back on D and still had the wind to sprint the length of the ice. Amazing display of skill.

I remember the lights going dark and Slash hits the first notes of Welcome to the Jungle, and the whole arena became so loud you lost hearing. And the crowd never stopped - it was soul crushing. Poor Russia was so rattled after a 3 minute goal, IIRC they had the NHL lineup, but they pulled their goalie early and started juggling lines. It was just a mess.

[@brianhum8765]

@@silentdream8702 Yea, tradition to play cleaner than the NHL like when they cheated the "no professional" rule back when pros weren't allowed by pretending to have an amateur team with regular day jobs when in reality they were a full time team that played hockey together year round. Or that whole big doping scandal which has caused Russia to be banned from the Olympics. It's funny when Russians try to say other people don't play fairly at the Olympics.

[@silentdream8702]

@@brianhum8765 that's not my point. I do not deny doping usage or violation of "no professional" rule. But this is not related to the fact that in the USSR it was customary to play less contact hockey. And for such a rough game, Canadians would receive penalties according to Soviet rules.

[@cinnamon_art4016]

Brian Hum, Silent Dream North American hockey is a lot rougher with harder players while European hockey is more technical neither version is better it’s just how it’s played

[@krisppynugget]

Canada's play for goal #8 was one heck of a beauty! :D

[@scottwill19]

the problem with russia is that they are all goal scorers except datsyuk and malkin. thats all they know how to do is score. canada has many players who are one of the top point scorers on their teams but can take on a different roles when they arent counted on to score. on this team, bergeron can be a shutdown guy, richards could win clutch faceoffs, toews can be the first guy back on the backcheck, crosby can be the guy who gets all the attention to make room for everyone else. everyone on canada can play a different role that a team needs. on russia, everyone tries to score.

[@Relbl]

That is fair to say, but I'd say in contrast that Russia has the players to do better at least, but that their coaching is shit. None of the hacks they dig up is qualified to coach a major junior club in Canada, and so they don't know how to use the talent. If they bit the bullet and managed to lure a top Canadian coach they could be taken VERY seriously again. As it is, they are definitely a 2nd tier national squad now, along with the Swiss and Americans.

[@scottwill19]

i also agree. the coaching decisions that bilyaletdinov and bykov did in both olympics are completely mind boggling. like seriously? one of you goalies gets a shutout and you play the cold goalie in an elimination game the next night in 2014? and in 2010 you pull nabokov after SIX goalies instead of after the first period? who in russia is paying these guys? xD

[@shreksswamp1182]

***** I would say Malkin is a also a goal scorer

[@scottwill19]

connor ross no he isnt....

[@ob9963]

The thing with Russian players is that they a majority of them seem to individual players and don't work well as a team. Ovechkin for example is one of the best goal scorers in the world but if you don't have a great passer like Backstrom feeding him, he won't score and that why Russia always looses in Olympics becaause they only have shooters, expect from one or two players. Some Russian players can get away with just dangling and shooting in the NHL or KHL but when it gets to international level the other teams are just to solid

[@MPlain]

This game was expected to be more then it was. Russia was a frightening scoring powerhouse. Speed and skill highlighted through out the roster. Canada had the magic weapon for this... a super strong D. And Canada took advantage of the weakness that was the Russian D.

I think Stamkos, Richards and Giroux etc can play wing fairly easily...especially near elite passers like Crosby or Toews. I'm more or less concerned of our goaltending...now that Brodeur is too old all we have left is Price and maybe Smith. (Perhaps I'm underrating Luongo and Fleury, but I just don't see them as the consistent type)

[@Relbl]

@spyzah What game were you watching? Canada could've potted 4 or 5 easily but Miller was standing on his head; all America got was a fluky tip from Kes and a late scramble with six on the ice that Luongo still almost got. America leaned on their goalie and almost came up with a miracle, but no one with eyes or knows a thing about hockey could say America out-played them in the final. Even in the round-robin game, it was Brodeur letting in softies that won it for America, not out-playing per se
