[PoutineSp00nZ]

We are playing on special undetectable steroids this year. We will win.

Maybe! Not looking so hot right now though.

 

[Fantomas]

You're really upset about the pronunciation huh

I am despondent!

 

[Fantomas]

Maybe! Not looking so hot right now though.

We will inject more.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Trash!

 

[Lays]

I assume it's Sholokhov? IDK If you assume he thinks the S sounds like a Z, and ignore the D it's sorta similar? IDK just guessing here? Not even sure what the actual pronunciation of Sholokhov is.

pretty sure it’s pronounced how it looks with the K silent

 

[Fantomas]

Who's the guy that keeps yelling "trash" lmao

Also Russia should use a different goalie

Melnichuk should be our third goalie. I don't get this. Oh well.

 

[PromisedLand]

Russians napping; their coach yelling from the bench when they self clear on PP is probably also not helping lol

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

We will inject more.

 

[Lays]

Korenar has looked solid recently

 

[BlitzSnipe]

This is probably the weakest Russian juniors team in a while, unfortunately. The powerplay has been looking pretty bad, defense has been lacking.

 

[Maylo]

This Russian team are mostly from "SKA junior" right? That's explain a lot...

 

[DamonDRW]

People here are making it like we play second tier team. Watching Czech play this year I see them surprising a lot of people.... It is not their "classic" WJHC team from the past few years. Big, strong, good skating with leaders at O and D. They may quite easily medal this year.

 

[Fantomas]

Czech comrades - is Necas pronounced the same as Necar?

 

[tictactoe]

Rubtsov is invisible.

 

[Zine]

lol Our team is garbage this year. No elite talent apart from Svechnikov, but he's still a double-underrager.

 

[Fantomas]

Rubtsov is invisible.

He hasn't developed at all in the last year.

 

[tictactoe]

He hasn't developed at all in the last year.

I agree.. I see no improvement..

 

[Zine]

Rubtsov is invisible.

Rubstov reminds me a lot of Ivan Barbashyov.

 

[Fantomas]

Rubstov reminds me a lot of Ivan Barbashyov.

But way worse.

 

[Appleyard]

Rubtsov is invisible.

He did draw a penalty and also create one of the better chances of the game that did not go in when jammed puck near crease and forced a save.

And when Abramov and him were on the PP it sustained pressure the best of any unit since early in the 1st (and kept Czechs in own zone for 30 seconds after the end of one PP.)

Nothing spectacular but invisible is quite harsh.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

LMAO at Canadian announcer pronouncing Georgi Ivanov's name 'Georgie'.

How is it pronounced?

 

[Fantomas]

How is it pronounced?

Geh-OHR-gee.

Miller said "Georgie", like he was the kid from "It". The one who was eaten by the clown.

 

[Zine]

How is it pronounced?

Zhuldikov.

 

[Lays]

How is it pronounced?

isn’t it like “Yorgy” like Georgiev on the Rangers whose name is pronounced like “Yorgy-ev”?

 

[tictactoe]

No harsh.. I am expecting to see 1st line center that dangerous every time he is on the ice. Sorry, so far I just do not see it. Actually, I see Abramov isa lot better on the ice. Very disappointed in Rubtsov so far.

 

[kp61c]

rubtsov and sokolov are pretty bad, what have they been doing in the chl all these years? abramov degraded big time too.
