Russians are transitioning so well. Absolutely dominating the neutral zone. Winning every single puck battle. unbelievable display by them so far.

Reminiscent of the beatdown of Canada.

Yikes. That's going to be a long game..

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Well-earned goal.. those 2-3 minutes were just costant pressure by the Russians.

 

[jj cale]

And............it didn't happen.

It's not likely to get better from here on in.

Russia looking like the Red Army right now...

Well I guess this is over, probably will end up in a blowout

Still like our chances in relegation

More physical than the Red Army though. They win most of the physical battles.

Germans really don't really know what to do.

Haven’t seen goals like this one for ages for Russia U20. Fantastic control of the puck, great work at boards.

Yeah Russians are far better. This game is over. Germany really could use a guy like Alexandrov...
Too bad he decided on playing for Russia for whatever weird reason...

 

[jj cale]

Russia was my pre tournament pick, I see nothing out of them that has changed it. A fella can nit pick the U.S game but doesn't matter to me, shit happens from time to time.

It doesn't seem that weird.

You get to intermission with it 2-0 you never know with IIHF rules if the team has a major or runs into penalty trouble these games do flip from time to time. It is a tall order, also tough to get them in penalty trouble without the puck. But momentum does seems to shift easier at this level, but it is crucial they don't let another one in before intermission.

More bling and glory winning for Russia.

One lucky shot or PP chance and Germany will be back in game. Russia should not stop and score more.

Utter domination from team russia. Marchenko is in god mode. His last goal, a bit lucky though, came from Russia playing 5 on 5 like it was a powerplay for them.

 

[JoemAvs]

Weird? lol he's russian.

He was born in Germany and from what I know has spent the overwhelming majority of his life in Germany...
He also was listed as a German player up until recently.
Pretty sure he also has German citizenship.

Too bad he decided on playing for Russia. Really could have used a guy like him for our NT. Oh well.

 

[NyQuil]

Man, if he wasn't on his back-hand, that should have been in.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Wow, straight robbery by Askarov.

 

[czechcanadian]

wow what a sequence.. just not enough on the shot. dont count those germans out yet!! but this is clearly a 1 line team right now

He said that he has only russian citizenship
