GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 11 • Group B: BLR (2) - RUS (5) F

If only our bois had the skills to actually do that... That's what is the most infuriating issue atm. Manukyan is going for Nail trophy this year, i guess, not sure if it's bad luck or something bigger

Well, they do, but I have the impression each of them wants to do something incredible instead of just playing simple. The goals they've scored today were quite nice, for eg.

 

[Fantomas]

Effort late in the period was good. Svechnikov deserves more points than he has.

Surprised he hasn't been attempting to shoot more. I was expecting a shoot first mentality like Tolvanen, but he's really been playing the setup role so far.

 

[bukwas]

Belarus hits the board.

 

[KrejciMVP]

ouf not good

 

[Jee]

LolTommySalo

 

[Chainshot]

Sometimes a shot on net is the right play.

 

[Statsy]

Terrible goal.

 

[KrejciMVP]

nice response, pretty goal

 

[Firsov99]

Should be a comfortable victory. Losing to Sweden could be more beneficial in order to end up third in the group. To avoid Canada in the semis.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Kostin is amazing, wow

 

[DamonDRW]

Excellent move by Kostin!

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Holy mother of sniping, Kostin. This guy is good. Maybe I should retract my statement regarding Rubtsov and put Kostin as the best Russian at the tourney so far

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Wow, Kostin! What a goal, nice skill set. Good to finally see some solid playing.

 

[Sam Spade]

How close is Kostin? That kid just oozes confidence with the puck.

I’m at the game and really watching his skating, he is definitely another level forward wise in this game.

Oh and not for nothing but Ron Hextall is standing five feet from me scouting someone.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Our defence is pretty weak though, another unneeded goal.

 

[Kshahdoo]

That's Sukhachyov we know.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Why is this guy still in Russia's net? He's abysmal

 

[Fantomas]

That's Sukhachyov we know.

I want to know why he is playing and Berdin is not.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

That's Sukhachyov we know.

Well, you can't really blame him for the 2nd goal. That was just weak defensive play.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

I want to know why he is playing and Berdin is not.

He did save Russia several times in this game though.

 

[Fantomas]

Sukhachev is extremely inconsistent and is absolutely brutal at handling and moving the puck.

 

[KrejciMVP]

gotta close this out somehow

 

[kp61c]

brutal team, hard to watch. i didn't see much of svechnikov, he didn't play much time?

Not much at all (9:48). He keeps picking up points in spite of Bragin's idiocy.
