Russia has been kinda eh this game. Why isn't the coach using Ovi more?

Ovie has been kinda eh.

This tweet from Arthur sums things up pretty well RE: Team Russia :

Every international competition we say, boy, look at all that Russian skill, deadly. And every time Russia says, yes, but

Datsyuk has been invisible.

 

[KillerMan91]

I can't remember the last time Russia played well in top lever international tournament. Their last Olympic medal is from Salt Lake City (bronze). They just can't seem to play as a team.

 

[zroid]

is there ever gonna be a result in this tourn that isn't a shutout

...you're welcome Russia

 

[CreeperBlocks]

OVI


NO SHUTOUT

 

[Indrid Cold]

Spoke too soon lol

 

[zroid]

LMAO nice try

that got thrown in obviously

 

[ElephantShell]

Gotta be no goal.

 

[calder]

Sorry Ovie, don't think you got your stick on it

 

[CreeperBlocks]

That has to be no goal

 

[PillarEN]

Sorry Ovie.

 

[ElephantShell]

Not sure why Ovi is so mad, watch the video it's so obvious he didn't touch it.

 

[calder]

I think the crew is right, he felt the tap of his stick on the defenders stick during that split second of scrambling and thought it was him hitting the puck

 

[zroid]

Kuznetsov and Anisimov had brutal games

Zaitsev was solid

(based on score adjusted 5v5)

edit: Zaitsev/Orlov pair actually got heavily defensive deployment, so pretty darn good showing by him considering that

 

[RC]

Lol commies.

 

[John Dunbar]

usa and russia being eliminated means that all is right in the world.

 

[Red_Man]

usa and russia being eliminated means that all is right in the world.

They're not eliminated

 

[John Dunbar]

They're not eliminated

no, but looking good. if usa loses to canada (which they will), team europe just needs one point from the czech to kick them out. russia is on thin ice as well, but it was the first game in the group so we will see how it goes from here.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

I think the biggest question is why hasn't Russia developed a number 1 defence in like 20 years

They will next WC

 

[yyzjohn]

They will next WC

Where is Bergevin trading this guy to?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Markstrom is legit.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

They will next WC

 

[zroid]

stoked for tonight's game

who doesn't love some TNA?

 

[ElephantShell]

Okay somebody please tell me what "best on best" means. Is it best players vs best players? Isn't that every tournament?

 

[zroid]

Okay somebody please tell me what "best on best" means. Is it best players vs best players? Isn't that every tournament?

it means each team takes its best possible lineup (except USA because reasons)

so world championships don't count

 

[DopeyFish]

They will next WC

Also there's provorov

 

[lamaroo]

Score. Celly. Repeat.
After much debate of fan suggestions, #TeamNA landed on Opposite of Adults by @chiddybang as their #WCH2016 goal song.

Wow they didn't pick some shitty, mass produced pop song?

 

[dr.rocktopus]

SOON

here early because battle.net is down

 

[DopeyFish]

Lol that kid with the worst hack job of a matthews jersey

 

[User 479360]

Missed the Sweden/Russia game as I said I would. I saved it, but broke down and checked TSN on the way home. No sense in watching now.

Awaiting North America's annihilation of Finland now!

 

[zroid]

lolol Green Day bailed out of its scheduled performance for the WCOH

 

[DopeyFish]

green day cancellation due to illness of "several members of the band and crew"

 

[dr.rocktopus]

this intro must really connect with millennials!!! #captain

 

[Kave_Man]

The crowd sure does love that Morgan Rielly kid and that Auston Matthews kid.

I think they might have a future.

 

[Chris R]

Can't wait for TNA to destroy the tourney

 

[zroid]

green day cancellation due to illness of "several members of the band and crew"

well that doesn't sound suspicious at all

 

[DopeyFish]

is it me or did komarov have the loudest cheer out of everyone? lol

we have the best priorities

 

[dr.rocktopus]

ACC being like I know that Leo Komarov guy I think

 

[dream]

Fuck, TNA is much deeper than I thought. John Gibson seems like he could be a liability though.

 

[Red_Man]

McDavid looks like he's aged 5 years since becoming an Oiler

 

[zroid]

Personally I think it's grossly offensive that Team North America doesn't also have the Mexican national anthem playing. Auston Matthews is half-Mexican, after all.

McDavid looks like he's aged 5 years since becoming an Oiler

lolol I said the exact same thing a couple weeks ago

 

[Red_Man]

Rinne over Rask is a hilarious choice

 

[imBask]

Go Laine

 

[dr.rocktopus]

why is the abbreviation NAT today? I thought it was just NA before

 

[SuperSonic1305]

McDavid is a bust

 

[zroid]

that zone entry by McDavid was a beauty

 

[DopeyFish]

Matthews pointssss

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Pekka pls
