[booyakasha]

have to root for Matty Hendricks...and still a soft spot for Arcobello.
Come on USA!!!

 

[finalrep]

On paper Russia should win but these games always seem to have a lot of upsets. I could see USA greasing out a win. Odds makers have USA as a 3.8 underdog.

 

[BobDobolina]

3-2 usa

Wrong flag on Tobias there... Need a Swiss one...

I think the American fans would be a little upset with a Russian ref

any links to game besides the NBCSN one? I don't have info to sign up for the service.

 

[Tacoman]

Let's go Lewie!! Let's go USA!!!!!!

Jesus-buyck saves !!!!

Lets see what the underdog Americans can do against a name laden Russian team...

Not really cheering for either of them, but would love to see Hellebuyck stand on his head.

 

[mobilus]

Russia beats U.S., Canada beats Russia 4-1 for gold.

Kovi's on the fourth line?

 

[GoBluz24]

Let's go USA "C" team. Beat the Russian "A-" team.

 

[illpucks]

Smart move to split up the NHL talent for Russia. Though a line of Ovechkin-Malkin-Tarasenko would be insane.

 

[RobertR]

should be an easy win for Russia.

 

[Lennu32]

Let's go USA "C" team. Beat the Russian "A-" team.

Sure hope so. Russian team is pretty much their olympic team. Can't say the same for USA.

 

[tenho995]

Russia has a 50 goal scorer in their every line which is just sick. (Vlad is a future one, and ~40 isnt also bad.)

 

[Snippit]

Quick question - how many of the forwards and defenseman would play on Russia's best team?

Ovechkin, Malkin, Tarasenko, Kovalchuk...Panarin?...Anisimov?

Not too familiar with most of the others.

Kulemin and Belov

Hard to say.

If we are talking about the best players at the moment, than Russia is probably only Missing Datsyuk, Radulov, Kuznetsov perhaps Zaripov (it seems Znarok likes him a lot).

On defense, they are missing probably their best ones: Voynov, Markov, Tyutin, Medvedev(IMO, he is one of the best).

And I don't know a lot about this year KHL candidates. Last year they had guys like Kutuzov and Zubarev.

It depends a lot for KHL guys, did they had a good season, and a good showing for a NT team in EuroTour games.

 

[m4tt145]

4-1 Russia is my guess

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Russia 5-0 Ovie with the hatty

 

[MiamiHockey]

should be an easy win for Russia.

Russia should have easily beat the Finns in Sochi, too.

The US' strength is on their blueline, whereas Russia's weakness is on their blueline. This game will come down to how effectively the Americans can get the puck in deep on the Russians and run their Def into the ground.

 

[Drake744]

Let's go Mericans!!

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Did Kessel and JVR decline invites? Expected them to be on the USA team
