GDT: Group A - May 15 - Russia (5) vs Latvia (0)

You just have to love Telegin What a fighter not the typical Russian but so importent for this team

Russian hockey players are all fighters. But I agree about Telegin, he seems even more pumped than the rest of them.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

I'm somewhat puzzled, what Team Russia is trying to do. Carry the puck into the net with as many passes as possible?

Team Russia is just trying to be aesthetic right now and score beautiful goals. A bit too aesthetic perhaps because they could've scored more than 3 by now.

Antipin plays a sound game but he looks quite small out there.
Anybody know his height and weight?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Kuch! 5 goals, 6 assists right now.

 

[tictactoe]

2-3 high quality chances by team Russia and Kucherov finished it.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Not sure will improve Barabanov his IQ or not. His skating and puck control are elite, and he's very gritty, which is rare for skilled players, but his decision making isn't great.

 

[RobRayzor]

Boooooooooo!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Man, Panarin - beast. 3 assists tonight already.

 

[tictactoe]

Panarin looks 16.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Panarin looks 16.

Panarin is a beast right now.

 

[Zaar]

Panarin looks 16.

Not when playing

 

[ViD]

Panarin with 13 points in 4.5 games.

What's the tournament record ?

 

[jimstark]

Eurosport Norway is showing the game...i missed the first 2 periode but will see the last one. Panarin is the King Just got to the see Kucherovs goal wow

 

[kp61c]

panarin and kuch is a beaut to watch. such a rare occurrence to watch how two truly skilled players can play with and complete each other on the same line

I hope this figure skating will end when the playoffs start, this is kinda lame to waste so many chances to get into a highlight reel

Thank you.

 

[tictactoe]

Latvia is not giving up much? lol

 

[tictactoe]

This is like PP for team Russia

 

[tade]

This Russian team is incredible. Powerhouse.

Oh god, I want Canada v Russia this year, and also looking forward to USA vs Russia.

I'm curious if they will be able to adjust their approach all of a sudden in the playoffs / finals

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Kuznetsov, smooth as butter . He better start shooting, hehe.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Of course they will, they're essentially practicing right now. A stronger opponent will force them to be more pragmatic.

This year it seems that Russia might actually win if they played vs. Canada in the final.

The schedule is kind to them in this regard, they have a whole match against USA to adjust...
