Ive only seen the last 12 minutes of this game. At least Geno looks like he cares. The same cant be said for #8.

[Avyran]

Finland's playing at the corner flag for the last minutes of injury time

[MWW]

BBC is destroying OV. Total lack of emotion and passion.

I'm glad him and Kovalchoo are going to take the brunt of the blame here. Glad Geno keeps a low profile.

So Geno has the chance of getting out of this alive??
Mr. loudmouth AO gets what he deserves...

Things will really improve four years from now, when AO is a the captain.

[Gaucho]

Poor Geno.

[meow]

How long did that take you? Hahaa

[Dickie Dunn]

Awesome start to my Wednesday morning. Screw Russia.

[count2infinity]

How long did that take you? Hahaa

that one was really quick compared to the USA one.

[Idoit40fans]

This would be a great time for them to cut the clips of those people talking about how if this team wins gold none of the rest matters and if this team doesn't win Gold none of the rest matters.

[DelPen]

Maatta out there at the end. Nice.

[Steve]

Also, can anyone tell me why Radulov/Kovy line is playing 6+ minutes per game than Ovie/Malkin. Not to mention that pp unit (although it worked today) was 2 for 16 and they refused to change anything.

I remember a discussion back when the rosters were released about how the Russians wanted to display that the KHL was equal to the NHL. That desire seems to have affected their in-game management as well.

I would have thought they learned their lesson after the last Olympics....

[Rocco]

Russia's getting really good at this "getting embarrassed by Finland in winter" thing.

[largegarlic]

Maatta out there again at the end of the game. I believe he was out for the last 30 seconds of regulation against Canada too. Lots of faith in him from the Finnish coaches.

[meow]

lol... Ovechkin is just running people at this point. He's given up on winning.

PASSION

[MWW]

Putin will be pi**ed.

Poor Geno, just hope he now is in beast mode to get at least a 2nd Stanley Cup ring.

[DelPen]

[Shakes]

Not an upset. Weak roster and even worse coaching from Russia. Sweden/Finland will be fun.

TBF, they did get to extend the Leningrad buffer out a ways

[Rocco]

Guess it's not that easy for the Soviets to win at hockey when they're not the only one sending their best players.

Might be a good idea to get a plane to Russia ASAP to grab Malkin before Putin sends everyone to work camps.

[penny lane]

Maatta should find the NHL play-offs a breeze.

[pcm]

Geno hates Tuukka. Russian coaching seemed pretty terrible.

Who is Aaltonen? He was all over the ice, looked like a good player.
