Because your facts are ridiculous. It's as simple as that.

Ridiculous? They were 100% the truth, straight from the official site's box score.

Really significant sample size you pulled up there.

 

[LiveeviL]

On Swedish television, Russia needs to do something different as what they do does bot work in the offensive, but the bench/coach does not provide it.

 

[ijuka]

Obligatory comment about Ovechkin taking a stupid penalty. Feels good to be correct about him.

Can't really consider Russia's chances to be too high here if certain players keep this up.

 

[kary]

Malkin just seems to be doing more harm than good

 

[svartgul]

Russia can't break through Swedens defense, like not even a little.

 

[aufheben]

This entire tournament... I mean, it's the whole sample size. I'd love if I had more matches to work with but it is what it is.

Meaningless?

Look here. You can't compare the starts Markström have had with the ones Lundqvist had.

How many quality chances have Markström faced so far during his ice time? Two, maybe? How many breakaways, oddman rushes and quality chances did Lundqvist face? A hell of a lot more than two.

It's ridiculous to compare the two just with numbers, with a three game sample. It's a non-existant sample if you want to talk statistics.

And then someone chimes in and adds: "Watch some Rangers games." Well, I've just watched a couple of hundred of them. Lundqvist just happens to be the most consistent goaltender the last decade. That apparently means nothing, because he allowed alot of goals in meaningless exhibition games.

Yep, Znarok doesn't seem to offer any new ideas.

 

[Canucks LB]

Relax some people.

Nobody is saying Lundy is worse than markstrom, or Markstrom is this elite goalie.

What some of us are saying is that Markstrom has played flawless so far, has let in no goals, has looked prepositionally perfect, confident, and deserves the chance to run with this tourney.

he has simply been better than Lundy so far "THIS" Tourney.

 

[lakai17]

No discipline for the captain

 

[BalticWarrior]

Also Russia shouldnt have picked scrubs like Dadonov, Shipachev and Telegin.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Ovechkin the Primadonna No. 1!!! Moron.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Loving the ref camera. Crazy how they can replay it so fast. Should have it for NHL broadcasts.

 

[nucks88]

Well I for one am happy to see Markie playing so well and hope he keeps it going.Looking forward to seeing what he can do next season with more top level coaching and more playing time.

 

[snipes]

Telegin should be in the NHL. He'd be a solid 4th liner and PKer.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

If the Swedes score, Rusisa's buried in this match.

No offense, but Markstrom makes some "Hard" chances easy because his positioning has been perfect so far.

 

[21]

Lundqvist is our best goalie ever, no question about it. It's not even worth debating.

Let's all hope his best days aren't over though...

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Not a bad rush shorthanded by Russia.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Awful PP

 

[Soedy]

Markstrom had some juicy rebounds and was out of position atleast once.

 

[Canucks LB]

Markstrom had some juicy rebounds and was out of position atleast once.

A shot that is deflected does not count as a juicy rebound.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

C'mon Russia, score at least a goal.

 

[21]

Erik Karlsson is a world class forward put on a defense position. ;-)

Russia can't break through Swedens defense, like not even a little.
