GDT: Group B • Dec. 29 • Belarus vs. Russia

[BlitzSnipe]

Russians are relaxing too much imo.

I'm watching TSN. How many times did he say "1st round pick of Washington"? About 5 times?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Our boys are getting too relaxed ..

 

[Alklha]

Only seen the last 10 minutes and the Russians look far from impressive. Were they better in the first, or was it PP reliant?

There is no way svechnikov is making detroit next year. He is less visible than Yakupov was, and this guy is beyond overrated

They're not playing their 100% game right now.

Never started playing really

The Zhuldikov & Rykov pairing have made trouble for themselves all period... two unforced icings, ~5 passes to opponents or missing tape and that scramble near the net in the middle of the period. (though there was a similar scramble with another pairing (Mikulovich pairing?) on around same time too.)

Last shift or two have been better from them though.

Man, that was a rob.

Rykov has not been good in any of the games, nor was he good at the sss. Imho - someone was pulling for him from the federation

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Belarus should score, to wake our guys up. They've been sleeping this period compared to the 1st.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Oh god that would've been epic!

 

[fahad203]

Provorov looks soo good

 

[Startseva]

damt that would be beautiful if he scored at the end

By the way, congrats on passing your Law Examination!

thank you

 

[GKJ]

Provorov caught Belarus napping at the end of the period. Almost a great goal.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

C'mon boys, we need more goals.

 

[Tripod]

Provorov with a small taste of what he can do! So close.

thank you

Yeah, damn, that would've been awesome .

 

[Gsus]

He seems to be in his game right now at least the minutes I saw him play. Should've nailed that breakaway tho.

 

[snizzbone*]

What kind of role does Nikita Zhuldikov have on Russia? Looked like he was a #8 D and now he's on the top pair? Does he play on the powerplay? Have him in one of my WJC pools.

 

[Startseva]

When it's needed our team pressure Belarus and playing like 5 vs 4 always in their zone. Can pressure when it's powerplay by them. You can see absolutely different level of teams. As commentator said, 3:0 comfortable score, why to ''tear ass'' to score more? There still will be moments)

Heheh, 'tear ass', such a Russian formation .

 

[BlitzSnipe]

I'm not liking this. We need more goals.

 

[Alklha]

Finishing is terrible on both sides.

What???????????
