CAN 3 RUS 5

[torfindra]

I cannot comprehend this ... we were far ahead ... we were *winning* ... 3-0 in the second period ... And for Russia to score five goals in thirteen minutes in the *third* period ... is laughable. Not for Russia accomplishing this, but for Canada in letting this happen

You are so right.

I agree with everything you said.

First of all, good job on your analysis there. You should work for TSN. :)

I was not able to watch the game due to work that night, but kept tabs on it on the TSN website. I was practically giddy with excitement when I saw it was 3-0 Canada. I thought they were going to be the dominating team that they were being all tournament. About an hour later, I see the score as 3-2. I check again ten minutes later, 3-3. Then 4-3, then 5-3, and then it was over.

So then I think: Are you telling me that they stopped skating and laid back all the third period and let this happen? AYFKM??!! How could they do that? And against Russia of all teams! You do NOT lay back when you have a lead, no matter what time of the game it is. You just don't do it! Playing the way they did in the third period is NOT the way to win championships

After a while, I've been looking at the positives of the situation as you have.
In a way, it's situations like this that make hockey as exciting a game as it is: you just never know what's going to happen.

At least our boys maintained their dignity. >_>
