Didn't suspect that Nichushkin will be added
IMHO, for improving offence Kaprizov seems more logical.
For defence/energetic line Lyubimov is better.

There had been a lot of scepticism about Znarok's choices, but so far Russia has been playing quite well so maybe he has his reasons to opt for Nichushkin. Kaprizov has a hell of a shot though. Nichushkin might be better in terms of his experience and size, but in terms of goalscoring instinct, I'd say Kaprizov is sharper.

So Kucherov practiced with Namestnikov? Will their line with Panarin remain intact? Where will Nichushkin and Kuznetsov slot in?

I was a fan of Nichuskhin but last time i saw him i felt he had not mature at all and looked very thin i would have tough he would have gaine some more kilos..
I have not been following him this year in the KHL - what do you guys think about him?
Sad to see Kaprizov been sent home but hey he is a junior and will be back next year cant wait to see him and has big hope from him
Curios about the lines now when the Caps guys come ( when will they arrive?? )

Yes, Zadorov is hurt. I'm not sure if he would have made it, Tryamkin didn't, but I think he has developed enough that he should have at least been considered.

Jesus Christ, Russian fans are the worst. If a player doesn't come - they make excuses for him (Radulov), but if there's a truly patriotic, good, constantly available hockey player - they ***** and moan about not wanting him to come.
Remember Kovalchuk in Québec IHWC ? Everyone was complaining about him being "useless" and called up for no reason. Then he scored 4:4 and OT GWG against ****ing Canada playing at home. Don't discount players of this caliber ever. They will surprise you.
I see your point and yes i remember Kovalchuks goal dont think i have scream that loud before.
But i stand correct i dont think this Russia need Ovi. That has nothing to say about him always wanting to come which i loved him for but now no thanks Russia needs to get their Young guys going. Only 30 pluss players i would want is Radulov and Malkin.

Maybe Nichushkin can win some board battles against Canadians. Otherwise I don't much care for him.

Me too. I thought I was going to break the windows with the sheer volume of my screaming
Especially considering that it was the first win since 93 if I recall correctly. Anyway - Radulov doesn't want to play anymore. No injury, no playoff obligations - still no show. Screw him. Malkin would be amazing, but his team is unfortunately too much of a permanent fixture in the later playoff rounds. He's the Datsyuk of his generation. Unfortunately.
Ovechkin, though... I don't know. It's possible that he'd come and not do much for most of the tournament. But it's also possible that he'd come and score a hat-trick against Canada in the final. We'll never know now, but regardless, I don't understand all the hatred he's gotten in the press and on various forums this past month. He's the better version of Bure Brothers, who actually cares about the national team...

Znarok is moving in the right direction. This is exactly the hockey team Russia must play to become elite again. This was the best passing game I have seen Russia play in a very long time. This is the type of hockey that Russia needs to play at all levels. For a very long time there was no really direction where Russian hockey was going but now it seems they finally got a clue. There is a clear picture what hockey is being played unlike any other years, even the ones when Russia won.
This is the type of hockey that will allow Russia to dominate in the next decade starting in a couple of years when I expect Russia to take on leading role in hockey again. Russian machine is back.
