You're looking at it from your own perspective as a Canadian. To Russian kids growing up in Russia, the World Championship is the most coveted prize. Don't believe press releases from players under contract and making huge money. They aren't always genuine!

Where is Dmitri Kalinin (SKA), Zaripov, Andrei Zubarev (SKA) and Nikulin?
Especially Zaripov?
- And why are we going to use that ugly blue(!!!) kit for our home world championship? Should be nothing else than red and small glimps of white and blue.. especially since we are promoting all this new Red Machine logo and theme everywhere else around the national team, unbelievable.. really unbelievable. That annoys me so much to the point that I would feel that something good might come out from a loss (the kits being removed due to a bad memory). I felt the same way with those Olympic shirts, why is there suddenly such a bad taste the recent years? Or is there someone pumping in big money for this to happen? just wow..

Kalinin? This is very funny. He's almost did not play for SKA in playoff, he's veteran and he's bad playing in this season.
Zubarev also not good season.
Nikulin was good for Dinamo, but Znarok wants have faster players in defense line.
Zaripov? It's a big question why he's not invited.
People say he has an injury, but it is not officially announced.

Too bad. He's still young though he'll have more opportunities.
I'm starting to get pumped for this tournament I always enjoy the Russian crowds. All the clapping and whistling.
If Canada gets a couple more Defenceman I think we should win our pool.
Russia will win the other pool then we have another chapter in our great history together to play for Gold in Moscow. Can't ask for anything better.
Are you going to be in Russia for the tournament?
As for Zaripov, I don't know why he isn't included, a very smart player with great skills in many areas.
Easy man It is not SYu-AB thread

Moreover, Tretyak is a president of RIHF and aware what happens in the national team.
Tretiak obviously doesn't know if I read his comments on the matter. He stated that it's up to Znarok though and Znarok and Radulov remain silent, which gives thea have an agreement, it's all god between them and they just don't wand to throw fodder to the press.
Zaripov has had an uneventful second half of the season and playoffs, unlike Mozyakin and Syomin. Not surprising at all that Zaripov isn't in this time.
The jerseys is a company thing. A company they have a contract with(no idea if it's Reebok, Nike or Adidas now)designs the jerseys. Adidas is a complete failure at that, Reebok has had major **** ups, Nike was decent IIRC.
I think you are getting irrational there. Yak is a very capable winger. Obviously not the touted 1st overall pick anymore, but obviously a far better option than guys like Dadonov or example.
Then it's what I feared. He is a sidekick to his swedish wife if the swedish press knows more about his health than the russian one
There is rumors Anisimov and Panarin will be split.
So more like
Panarin - Shipachyov - Dadonov
Mozyakin - Datsyuk - Syomin looks right
??? - Anisimov - Radulov
To start the tournament. Guys like Yakupov probably on the reserve list until the end of the 2nd round in the NHL.
After the 2nd round in the NHL those options:
Kulyomin - Malkin - Kucherov/Radulov (obviously it's either Kulyomin or Kucherov)
or
Kulyomin - Anisimov - ???
and
Ovechkin - Kuznetsov - Radulov
I'm obviously pulling for the Caps and the Blues to advance now.

Not sure why some people think that Radulov will come. But he won`t unfortunately.
It also looks that we have some xenophobic individuals here around also.
Yakupov is still far more worth then Semin because he shows that he can even defend.
And Semin is kinda waste of place. Without good suport of old Mozyakin or Zaripov he is absolutely lost.

There is exactly zero indication that Radulov won't come. His agent said he will join the team after his trip to the US.
Syomin has had great playoffs in the KHL. What are you talking about? Zaripov was nowhere to be seen. Syomin is a big reason for the championship in fact.
Syomin was ugly! He was good only in poweplay and in first round against weak defense. He's nothing doing in final, zero help in Metallurg zone, zero goals, only one good assist.
