I don't understand Bragin at all sometimes. Svechnikov played even less minutes than with Switzeland, yet ended up with bunch of points again. It seems like even McDavid when he was 16-17 years old wouldn't play much at Bragin's team...

it's strange how a slew of much worse players are preferred to play on pp over him. bragin is either an idiot or just incompetent.

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.
Likely watching Rubstov and Sushko....but if you know that he WAS scouting someone specific, could you drop a name???
So do I. I took Berdin in the pool.
Everyone wants this answer. Answer is simple, Bragin has never got the goalie situation correct
Really like Sharangovich, if he was on a good team he would be loading up the points right now. He is so crisp and strong with/on the puck.
Surprised Belarus doesnt load up the PP with Deryabin and Martynov. Bobvel noticeably weaker player foiled the play several times out there. Belarus has 6-7 good players plus Grischenko has been solid, the relegation round will be interesting, might be enough to keep them up.

Ok...just wasn't sure if you had "overheard" something or not.I wish I could help. I couldn’t even find a pen to get him to sign my ticket.

Kostin has been great, but Svechnikov has definitely made him look better when they are together. With that said, I still expect Svechnikov to turn it up another notch. Even with the limited ice, he's not dominating as much as I was expecting and I have been watching him quite closely.
What does "even McDavid" mean? You are so in awe with your shine overhyped stars. At 16-17 McDavid actually has played in the tournament and wasn't dominant or something as an underager.
As for Bragin's deployment so far it is except for goalies not weird. He has a concept. You think you know better? Get that coaching job. I actually have no idea how to win with this roster, but the meaningful games are still ahead.
McDavid was a tournament all-star at 17. He would have been at 16 too, as he had 6 points in 3 pre-tourney games until he fired the puck into the opposition net after the whistle and lost the coach's trust, then didn't get played much once the tourney started. You know... kind of the same problem you're currently talking about with Svechnikov.

If you beat Sweden by 2+ you win the group unless Sweden can't beat Switzerland in regulation tomorrow which they should.
