It's just this midget's way of trying to over-compensate for his born deficiencies...

Hi sleepycat! I am not V. V. Putin's fan. And I don't write about him anything (good and bad). Why do you remember V. V. Putin? You are his fan?

Did anyone see or hear about Russian team walking out when Canada song played after they won?

I found this... http://tass.ru/en/sports/795279


 A few of the players stayed on the ice and even tried to stop their teammates from leaving. I commend them for that, but the ones that left showed what kind of immature sore losers they really are. If it was Canadian players who done that I would be embarrassed to say they were representing my country!

The fact that the Press Secretary claims no knowledge of the early departure is shameful.  He knew.  He just hadn't received instructions on how to respond. 

Absent an apology from the Russian team and by its coaches, who allowed the breach of etiquette, the Russian bear departs with a big black eye. 

Too bad.  They played honorably.  They just couldn't stomach defeat honorably.  It is tough lesson, but I suspect that they will learn it the hard way.

If that happened, it was very wrong of them. That shows that the ones who walked off have not learned sportsmanship, respect or fair play and should be reprimanded along With their trainers/manager.

Congratulations to Canada  :D

The celebrity seniors Hockey exhibition
« Reply #31 on: May 18, 2015, 11:53:22 AM »
You can watch the game here. Seniors game here. The players must be a 100 years
old and are moving in slow motion. The passes are slower than miniature golf putting.



After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader
of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34
at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance,
the score included an amazing 11 aces (hole in ones). Naturally, the event was
dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.

Canadian players would never do that.  They could, however, start a brawl at the whistle.




Walking off the ice in this manner has never occurred in the history of the world championships, and the IIHF has stated some form of punishment will be meted out.

Having just learned of this (I watched the game but left before the final buzzer and turned on the radio without listening to the post game ceremonies) I believe this to be an intentional snub as it's an annual tournament and no team has ever walked off the ice during another country's national anthem before.

Russia has won or placed second in the tourney six times in the last decade and is well aware of protocol.

Ah well, it's just an extension of what's become a tit for tat fight between our two countries. It was probably sanctioned by Putin in retaliation for the diplomatic b*tch slap PM Harper gave him at the G20 summit. :P

...It's gonna be a lovely f*cken war, folks...

Here is a humorous take on the likely reaction of Russia if Canada had lost and and most of the Canucks had walked out on the Russian national anthem:

Quote
The Moscow Times believes it would have been reporting something very similar to what follows.

Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a case into the Canadian national hockey team's early exit from the ice after Russia's 6-1 win in the final of the Ice Hockey World Championship on Sunday, a gesture prosecutors view as inciting hatred against the Russian nation.

Prosecutors claim that Canada's refusal to stay for the Russian anthem constitutes a criminal offense equivalent to the desecration of the national flag. If found guilty of affronting national symbolism, the Canadian squad could be forced to install toilet seats in all KHL rinks across Russia...

But Canada's attempts to downplay the incident have done little to assuage Russia's hurt and anger toward yet another example of the West's blatant disrespect for the country.

Russian officials have drawn parallels between the Canadians' dressing room retreat and the absence of Western leaders at Victory Day celebrations earlier this month, an insult to the Soviet Union's leading role in the defeat of Nazi Germany.

"Those Canadians — like all Westerners, for that matter — just couldn't stand the sight of a Russian victory," Alexei Pushkov, head of the State Duma's Committee on Foreign Affairs, wrote on Twitter. "The West is only satisfied when Russia is on its knees."

This was an interesting touch

Quote
After the Russian team realized that the sweet fragrance of maple syrup — and not the habitual musk of damp hockey equipment — was emanating from Team Canada's dressing room, Russian media reports were rife with rumors that the Canadian players were filthy, sugar-loving cheaters.

"Doping is for losers," Russia's Anti-Doping Agency said in a statement following the team's commanding win. "We need to teach our youth that consuming banned sticky substances leads nowhere, as we saw with Team Canada's disastrous loss. Real champions, like our Russian team, don't resort to artificial performance-enhancing substances.
"

The piece goes on. You can read it at this link:

Yes, they did wrong, should know better and deserve some form of punishment.

Incidentally, it is very Clear on here how some can't contain their glee and make a show of their Russia-hate.

Who has shown glee?  What I read is shock at an appalling lack of sportsmanship.

Despite all of the political problems.
Russia and Canada have a long and deep,
Connection/rivalry in Hockey.
Love/hate, but there has always been respect.
I have enjoyed this since I was a kid, we won some and we have lost some.
This is sad to see happen. Leave the politics out of sports.
Common sense, Is not so common!

 Hi. Noch! I agree with you! When I was a child my family   watched the game Canada - the USSR  :popcorn:. It was interesting game, we could not sleep all night long, we supported our team. The team of Canada was the strongest opponent always. Now I am sorry, the policy of the countries destroys sport.

Russians were fined for skating off the ice...

Russia fined $85,000 for deliberately leaving ice before Canadian anthem at world hockey championship

ZURICH — The Russian Hockey Federation was fined Monday over the national team snubbing Canada’s victory celebrations after the world championship final.

The sport’s governing body, IIHF, said the Russian players deliberately left the ice before Canada’s national anthem was played after a signal from captain Ilya Kovalchuk.

...With today's exchange rate that should be around a 100 billion rubles.  ::):D
