lol.....got a kick out of amirov there, cute!!

 

[ViD]

Good showing by team Russia. Should have been up by 2-3 goals now. Loving Podkolzin’s effort in this game

 

[GordieGallant]

Nobody on the weak side at all. Total breakdown

 

[TheYardMachine]

Amirov is gonna be buddy with Matthews with that move

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Raymond and Holtz have been very underwhelming

Agreed, I would split them up. Without a good center it is a waste having them on the same line.

 

[Fossy21]

Who's the center on their line. It seems like the play is dying every time that person touches it.

Sundsvik.

 

[docbenton]

Okay I'll give Khusnutdinov some credit there, he's been playing a little better and that was a nice play.

 

[ORRFForever]

Swedes by far the best and most consistent team until now. So much traffic in the slot. They're very good at deflecting pucks and screening goaltenders.

???

 

[JoeyBeans]

Looked like a chel goal

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Podkolzin is on a mission here tonight.

 

[PanniniClaus]

What a play off the wall by Khusnutdinov to Podkolzin then to Amirov...The Stutzle line is getting the love and they should be but this line is driving play every time out.

 

[jj cale]

Let em have it Swedish bench boss, they played far below what they are capable of.

We want a game tonight.

 

[ORRFForever]

I didn't find the hockey very enjoyable, tho. A bit of a mess.

 

[RememberTheName]

Sundsvik.

They really gotta change that up. Put like Niederbach on the first line or just someone, because Sundsvik is not working at all.

 

[canswetoxic]

Slow and sloppy.

 

[snipes]

Podkolzin has been f***ing unreal in the last 2 games, Dominating

Yeah, he’s looked really good. Strong, good below the dots at both ends.

Not sure what his full NHL upside is, but he’s a guy that looks like he’ll be in the NHL soon. Does a lot of things right with and without the puck. Gives an honest effort every game too even when he’s not producing points.

 

[IceBjoern]

Could be 4-0 Russia, they look really strong. Hope Sweden can find a way, as they usually do.

 

[raymond23]

Can we please have a back and forth game for once lol. Russians dominating

 

[NorCalhockey]

Did the Sweden defenders get dressed tonight or are these a bunch of forwards filling in? Yeesh.

And the weird thing is Sweden are normally known for their elite defense...? However this game ends, I just want my Team USA to be no lower than 2nd to finish group play.

 

[ORRFForever]

lol.....got a kick out of amirov there, cute!!

As others have said, he pulled an Auston Matthews. I don't like that kind of stuff but I'm not in the moment.

 

[jj cale]

I see the connection

 

[Old Boys Club]

Don’t you think the best part of his game is his skating though?

Yes, but something is clearly up with him tonight. This is the slowest I've seen him look, and I've watched him a decent amount.

 

[bl02]

Who's the center on their line. It seems like the play is dying every time that person touches it.

Should be Karl Henriksson but covid kept him home.

 

[snipes]

Literally every single one of them looks off. Definitely need a regroup this period.

 

[ViD]

A bit disappointing it’s only 2-1, but glad the Swedish goal didn’t demoralize the team and they took the lead back.

Now keep up the good effort
