But they weren't though.

The only ones from the Sochi team are Mr. Back ups back up Smith and Duchene who was a bench warmer.

Crosby is obviously on the A team.

Sure those guys have A team talent but for whatever reason they were left off.

Hopefully that changes after this tournament.

Giroux wasn't there likely for having beef with Crosby. Kunitz was on the A team over Giroux. Remember the outrage from the Flyers GM?

Hall and Seguin are older and arguable top 10 NHLers. No way they are not A team.
 
I feel like this might be how the game goes. Canada, sustained pressure and then a breakaway for Russia. Rinse and repeat
 
Canada´s passing game is a treat to watch. Usually tape to tape even through traffic. Shooting has been terrible so far.
 
They want to make the win seem much more impressive than it is.

Smith to Bobrovski in this tourney is like Price this season vs Rask this season. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Good NHL defense vs ECHL defense.

Your right Rask's playoff numbers are still better than Price's playoff numbers.

I would disagree say that Russia's defense is better than an ECHL rated defense.

This game does have the makings of a really good game.
 
Easy win for Russia :yo:

So far Canada is dominating in chances, but the score is still at zero and that's all that matters.

Side note -- crowd and atmosphere has been amazing all tournament.
