I really like watching Koko play. He's much more shifty than I expected. He reminds me of Samsonov in his prime a bit.
Other then both being Russian I don't see any of the same similarities...

Best game by far for Dougie, I think his goal got his confidence going and he was very good on both ends. Subban had another very solid game, no chance on the goal. Camara was his usual self, I think this guy has a future in the NHL as either a 3rd or 4th line winger.
He had a very solid game against the US as well, only real difference is one went in for him this time around. I like the fact that both he and Subban are being relied on in the manner they are and they're stepping up to the plate. Dougie's defensive game was all around solid today, not overly flashy just very smart.
And on a side note. You can have your Nate MacKinnon and Seth Jones. Jonathan Drouin is the guy I'd have my sites set on with a high pick in the draft.
When I watch Drouin I am reminded of Patrick Kane, very slick with the puck and chock full of great moves and creativity. At this point I would still prefer Mackinnon or Jones, but you can't go wrong with any of them. I only wish our Bruins were in a position to get one of them.
I like what I see from Subban so far. He has very quick lateral movement, and seems to be very good with his leg pads down low. Maybe drops a little soon, but I think probably you see that from most young goalies who haven't yet faced guys like Kovalchuk picking corners with laser beam shots. Looking forward to seeing how he develops over the next couple of years.
For me the story of the tournament so far is Gibson. Man, I wish he was Bruins property.

Watching subbans pads and his lateral ability to cover the bottom portion of the net makes me think of the way Jonathon quick plays. I can only hope subban progresses the same way

Just caught Can vs Rus.
Wow Drouin has some instincts, tenacity, wheels, and skill. Subban looked great again. Made a save on a wing to wing pass that was reminiscent of TT late in the allstar game in Montreal. Shades of his big brother after the penalty shot, though. Hamilton has a howitzer for a one-timer. B's had better figure out a way to utilize it. It's not like Chara is some kind of slouch in the shot department, but on our PP, you'd never know.
Russian coach was screaming at Khokhlachev during the timeout. Then puts the wrong number of players out on the ice. What a duffus. Hopefully that makes him lean towards playing in the NHL and not the K.
Ya gotta love Makarov's mask.
How about Sweden? Decimated by injuries and they keep playing really well.
Their division was absolutely terrible though. Their only competition had injuries of their own and played like crap otherwise. I think they could be in for a rude awakening in the semis as I'd rank all three of the teams in group B ahead of them. They're still good, but I don't think we'll see a repeat.
They are missing their top 3 D. Any other teams with the possible exception of Canada able to get out of the medal round if that happened?
