Patrick Kane jersey A Couple Tight Games

6-5 has to be the best score possible in any Canada Russia game. 6-5 was the score in game 8 of the summit series when Paul Henderson scored the biggest goal in hockey history. 6-5 was the score when Mario Lemeiux scored to win in 87 in what might have been the best 3 game series of all time. Incidentally 6-5 was the score in all three games that year with the first two games going to OT. Of course last night the 6-5 final was the result of the extra goal being awarded for the shoot-out, but the final tally is all that matters. Canada gets to try to run their gold medal streak to five on Monday.So why open with the Canada game? After watching both games, I noticed a similar script to both games. Sure, the Junior game had more scoring and a lot more power-plays but in essence this was the case of two teams who arguably didn't deserve the game finding a way to emerge victorious.In Nashville although the Flames were able to post fourteen shots through one period, much of the next thirty minutes they looked like they were skating in quicksand. They weren't able to break out of their zone or generate many scoring chances and although they were only down by a goal after two periods, the play was clearly being controlled by the Preds.In Ottawa the Canadians started quickly and were able to score but were unable to keep the lead at any point. Sure Tokarski let in a couple he would like to have back, but the Russians were able to stay in the game and eventually take the lead due in a large part to some sloppy play by the entire team. Need an example? How Patrick Kane jersey about a powerplay that was riding a 60% success having difficulty even generating shots, let alone scoring chances going 1-8 which included two abbreviated 5 on 3's.In short, both teams were down late an in Joey Votto Red Jersey danger of having their streaks come to an end (points in 9 games for the Flames, winners of Authentic Lebron James Jersey Marc Andre Fleury jersey four straight and Canada's streak of five straight gold medals). Sure the Canadian one is much more impressive but the Flames being on a roll like this after their atrocious start is also encouraging. When the chips were down, however, both teams found a way out and for both teams the most impressive part may be that it was their secondary players that made the difference.For the Flames it was Todd Bertuzzi with a goal and an assist in the third Felix Hernandez Jersey to tie the game and then give the Flames the lead. The tying goal was a great pass behind the net to a waiting Daymond Langkow who quickly stepped out and roofed the puck to tie the game. With time winding down a last rush and some extra effort by Craig Conroy who slid the puck out to Bertuzzi, led to Bert going top-shelf on Dan Ellis who looked like he was leaning towards a cross-ice feed on the play and opened the corner enough for Big Bert to snap one in. Incidentally the assist gave Conroy 500 points for his career.For team Canada is was Jordan Eberle who saved a night of disappointment for many Canadians when he calmly took a puck that had slid under a Russian defenceman and went wide enought to outstretch Russian goalie Vadim Zhelobnyuk, in order to tie the game and then scoring in the shootout to give the Canadians the semi-final win and a date on Monday to extend their streak.It was a case of two teams finding a way to win when they didn't have their best, PC9527609mms2016.com
