Beniers gonna be the next Point lol

I like that comp

 

[SI90]

USA showing some jump after the goal.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

That's it run over Askarov and crush him.

 

[ORRFForever]

Is it just me or could Igor Larionov pass for 40? He looks so young.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Looks like Askarov made up for it there. Mental toughness I like to see

 

[snipes]

There’s that Askarov athleticism that he’s shown for years.

 

[c9gunner]

The good thing about Askarov - he is not going to be distracted by this goal.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

US needs to settle in a bit. Seems like they're gripping their sticks too tight.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Puck bouncing around. Ice not looking too good.

Ice probably pretty soft

 

[Sean Garrity]

Is it just me or could Igor Larionov pass for 40?

He probably owns all of these kids in practice too.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Goal might have been deflected if not brutal, big stop there.

 

[HyPnOtiK]

Not a great goal to let up but smart play by York to throw it on with a ton of traffic, Askarov couldn't track it.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

looking better now

 

[Three On Zero]

What a save by Askarov

 

[SI90]

I like that comp

watching him at Michigan he looks like a left handed Barzal. Kid is always flying out there and does whatever he wants with the puck.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

All tied up

 

[tictactoe]

How is Larionov picked all left handed shots? All except one..

 

[SI90]

Ice probably pretty soft

Looks way.

Don’t think is in that same world as a skater.

I couldn’t believe that when I heard it. Ultimately talent wins out but man that is pretty remarkable

 

[Fatass]

Have you never seen the great Russian teams of the past? Their teams were (often) all lefties.

 

[Three On Zero]

Looks way.

Ice actually looks really good considering it’s the 3rd game. Guys have good puck control still. Not much bouncing

 

[McMozesmadness]

US really pushing now

 

[SI90]

Don’t think is in that same world as a skater.

no not at all but the way he’s played at Michigan. Basically skates around and can stick handle at his top speed and makes plays.

 

[bsu]

Here we go starting to skate now

It's never been an issue in a Russian hockey system.
