[ViD]

Russia looks as a favorite on paper but it's a great test for our offense and defense.

Russia has had shutouts 3 games in a row

If we win we most likely play Finland next.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Is Kucherov really on the 4th line?

 

[ViD]

Is Kucherov really on the 4th line?

I believe he's on third but on this team Russia it doesn't mean that he's not getting the first line minutes

The lineup in OP is also missing Orlov and Kuznetsov

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Vasi starting?

 

[ViD]

Vasi starting?

Yes.

 

[LongWayDown37]

I think Eichel goes off today. He gets better when the opponent is tougher.

 

[X66]

Game is on at 10:15 EST not 2:15

 

[AmericanDream]

this looks like one of the weaker Russia teams I have seen at this event in some time.. this is a very winnable game for the US as their roster just looks better overall.

I know some of the KHL guys, they aren't chumps by any means, just not a ton of high end skill especially with Panarin out.

You right.
USA will be favorite.

Panarin out? He is in the 3rd line with Kuch and Namestnikov: https://www.championat.com/hockey/n...match-chm-2017-s-ssha-za-pobedu-v-gruppe.html (Russian)

Edit:http://www.iihfworlds2017.com/en/games/2017-05-16/RUS-vs-USA/
Panarin in.

 

[Kshahdoo]

From the tournament standpoint it doesn't matter, whether we win or lose, but of course it's always better to win.

Yeah, but I don't pay attention to lineups on paper that much.

 

[DJJones]

So how's Gaudreau looking on the RW? Haven't been able to watch much. But if that's a thing it would really help out Calgary.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

That's the kind of call that the IIHF refs could let go in a game like this.

The high stick to Nelson's chops was obvious on the first PP.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

1-0 Russia

 

[Kshahdoo]

Gusev!!!

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Not RW. He's playing LW.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Vasilevski has been very good. Rebound control is really good.

 

[SR]

Terrible PP for US there.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Parade to the penalty box.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Is this being played in Russia?

 

[allroundfan]

Telegin is a warrior. Hope he is ok.

 

[ijuka]

Actually, if Russia wants to avoid Finland it does matter quite a bit. They should lose this match.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Looks like the swe-usa game. One team dominating without scoring and the other one is being extremely effective on their breakaways.
