A rather spirited SWE-RUSS game don't you think?

"...Fedorov called the hit clean..."

QUOTE

Source please?

Like I said, pretty sure I saw it in IIHF news...I'll try to find it when I've got a bit more time...But maybe in the interim someone else could find/post it...

The only one lacking Credibility here Riga is U/ some of Ur Russian contingent/ Putin-ski Mob...Cuz I seem to recall reading the same thing...Fedorov called the hit clean ...think that quote's in the IIHF news files

Schooley, if you continue to make sweeping generalization about me/all/Russian posters here/ all Russians/ Russian government as all being the same, I will stop reading your posts altogether. We have had this discussion before.
/rant on
For the first (this year), and the last (this year) time: I have my own mind. I am not a member of any "Russian contingent". I strongly disapprove of the current Russian government policies and ideology. If I unfairly stereotype any nation fans or players here, you are welcome to call me on it.
/rant off

The reason I asked if anyone else had heard Fedorov's statements was because maybe it might have turned up on some of the Russian news sites. I don't understand Russian but I know that some of you do.

Here is what I did like...
both teams played to win and the game was full of emotion, not some pretty figure skating demonstration...
You have to use the tools you have, Sweden does not have the tools to play Russia in a wide open affair, at least not at this years IHWC.
So Murray's comments, to me anyway, where an attempt to throw Morozov off his game the fact that he got hurt was an accident more than anything.
Are you trying to hurt a player with a hit? maybe not hurt as much as lets say scare a player into thinking about a hit to come vs. the great play that might be at hand.
If I where Russian or Swedish my camp probably would be as I read here, you always judge your side in a more favourable light ......it's natural.

It's never good to have someone injured but that is life if you play hockey!

Exactly..............well said.

most people here seem to have gotten this point lost in all the emotions.

like i said Euro fans..................................just send the check in the mail!!
what much better hockey players you've all become because of learning from Canadian hockey.

Now,now......................don't say a word,don't mention it!!!

just send that money!!

Give me the original, since Fedorov doesn't speak Swedish either.
I wanna see what he actually said, not what some Swedish journalist wrote, there have been a lot of "loose" interpretations of what athletes said by the press before.

lol what? If that wasn't the original, then i don't know what is lol. We kind of speak Swedish in Sweden, or English when journalists interviewing hockey players like Fedorov. Hard for Swedes to read Russian i think.

If you want a Russian interview, than i can't help you there lmao

Fedorov speaks Russian and English only, as far as I know. Therefore he gave that interview in one of those languages, English most likely, since, as you said, Swedish journalists there probably don't speak Russian. Therefore I will believe it if I saw a clip or an English transcript of what Fedorov said. I saw too many "sensationalized" qoutes in Russian and international press in the past that seem to say something different from what was actually said.

OK, perhaps I was too rash. If you didn't intend to plant a false rumor, then I apologize.

You can question my posts all you want, for what I acually wrote. But if you base your criticism of me on what some other poster said somewhere or somewhen, then I take exception.

And I apologized to peacecap for being rush to judgement , see above.

So does yesterdays game finally mean he start to end of the usual decades long deep moaning of "rough" Canadian play?

God..................what a watershed event that would be!!

Would the U.N recognize this with an official day?.................probably.

is it possible for fans on that side of the pond?.................................nah.

Hey.....................what else would there be to blame losses on?

That would leave ref conspiracies only.

That's too rough a road for them to travel.

They at least need a back-up.

Here's a couple back-ups:

1.) The game wasn't important
2.) We don't have our best players
3.) Canada was lucky

haha, they've stolen those excuses from us a couple of times

guess I could change point two: 2.) We don't have our best players because they didn't want to play for their country

.

I didn't hold u responsible for anything anyone else said...I responded agressively to what YOU said prior to ur aplogy...cuz in my mind YOU had it coming...

As for the rest....I made a VERY SUBTLE dig with the PUTIN-dumb comments ...BUT that was NOT directed at U / NOR did I intend it to be taken that way...cuz I said some Russians remember ? & Less we forget, YOU are NOT the only Russian poster in this thread...

Some Russians...Hell Many Russians ( again NOT YOU ) defend that RUS Regime in the face of all avail evidence ...Much like MANY RUSSIANS ( but NB* Not ' ALL')

Have a bad habit of finding bogus conspiracies ( see the 02 OG's and Fetisov's comments for example...we bought off the refs....the fix was in....yadda yadda... ) under every damn rock...

Every damn time u Russians get beat by us Canucks in a meaningful game...

***
To me ur responses ...here... have been pretty thin skinned Rigasprats...

If I say SOME Russians...how do u figure by that I mean u ? What are u a mind reader now ???

CHEERS

I'd suggest that everyone drops political comments from their posts, or else all hell will break loose...
