They looked pretty good because of goofy PP on some iffy calls and like I said.. they are not dominating. How many one on one an 2 on 1 Russians had? even while SH.Sweden has looked pretty good.
It is just ripped out of context. The channel that had the rights was airing the correct game. It's just that an another channel decided to show the Buffalo game at the same time. Some people indeed got fooled, but that's actually on them not reading the schedule properly. Also you can't blame casual fans for not knowing the players. There are a lot of people in Russia who don't follow hockey, but would watch a Team Russia game in an international tournament.They didn’t recognize those players wouldn’t age qualify for the 2020 tournament?!?!
