Kovalenko and Petrov joining the squad

"rückt später nach" means he will come later to camp
"fällt ev. verletzt aus" means possibly he will not come to camp because of an injury

What happened with Sokolov?

Back on July 1st, it was announced that Sokolov would not be let go from his Russian league team because it was during their season.

i said it WILKA ! Fedorov will not be on the rooster !

He's injured.

Blake is too, and so is Yzerman.

Frolov replace Morozov ???

Yes, Frolov is ON the team after all. But he couldn't leave to Kloten because he doesn't have a visa to Switzerland. That won't be a problem.

I also read that Nikolai Zherdev will probably join the team.

I'd like to see Saprykin up there it would be really good for his confidence.

I thought Alexander Korolyuk would be named to the original roster but this is just rediculas.

Russia looks to be really going down hill.

I say just play the youngsters (Zherdev,malkin,frolov, and chistov ext)

They are much brighter then the current russians in the NHL

not to mention, a lot of the players on the team are really getting up there in years

 

[Owen]

Yes, I'd expected Korolyuk as well...

As much as everyone has counted out Russia and also the fact that it's a video game, I simulated the World Cup with correct rosters in NHL 2004 and Russia actually wound up with the Silver medal anyway.
