Olympics: Team Russia 2022

Olympialaisten suursuosikki! Nämä pelaajat ovat ehdolla Venäjän kisakoneeseen

Russia´s 36-man list have been revealed. I copied this from the finnish website. Names are written in "finnish way" but I guess almost everybody will understand who they are. I was too tired to make a correction. :D

Forwards: Sergei Andronov, Mihail Grigorenko, Pavel Karnauhov, Sergei Plotnikov, Anton Slepyshev (kaikki TsSKA Moskova), Anton Burdasov, Nikita Gusev, Andrei Kuzmenko, Kirill Martsenko (kaikki SKA Pietari), Stanislav Galiev, Vadim Shipatshjov (molemmat Dinamo Moskova), Artem Galimov, Dmitri Voronkov (molemmat Ak Bars Kazan), Arseni Gritsjuk, Kirill Semenov (molemmat Avangard Omsk), Aleksandr Kadeikin (Salavat Julajev Ufa), Artur Kajumov (Lokomotiv Jaroslavl), Vladimir Tkatsov (Traktor Tsheljabinsk), Andrei Tshibisov (Metallurg Magnitogorsk)

Artyom Anisimov and Konstantin Okulov are missing, which surprises me a bit.

Nothing is official yet. That roster is based on a news outlet's 'insider information'.

Probably very similar to what it's gonna be though.
 
Something like this ?

Gusev - Shipachev - Burdasov
Kuzmenko - Grigorenko - Tolshinsky
Slepyshev -Anismov - Kravtsov
Goldobin - Okulov - Zhafyarov

Nesterov - Ozhiganov
Rafikov - Voynov
Yakolev - Marchenko

Fedotov
Bilyalov
Askarov
Not at all. Be prepared to not see a lot of forwards you named. Also it doesn't make sense to break up chemistry. Shipachyov will center Galiyev. And hopefully Burdasov has no place on the 1st line. Grigorenko will play on the wing.

The list is officially confirmed.

Something like this:

Kuzmenko - Shipachyov - Galiev (Unanimously 1C with his winger from Dynamo reinforced by SKA's top scorer)
Gusev - Karnaukhov - Marchenko (Karnaukhov was always surprisingly great on the NT as compared to his play for CSKA. Creative center with a creative Gusev and a goalscorer in Marchenko)
Gritsyuk - Galimov - Voronkov (Kazan connection reinforced by the best youngster in the league lately)
Chibisov - Kadeykin - Burdasov (All big guys with a lot of scoring punch to them too though)

Semenov, Slepyshev, Kayumov, Tkachyov, Andronov
 
Anisimov has Covid. He'll join the team after quarantining.

Would have liked to have seen at least Okulov, Zhafyarov, Tolchinsky, Kamenev, Ozhiganov and Marchenko in camp.
It's a shame Dronov is always injured. This defense needs someone like him badly.

Zhafyarov I get. But not the others. What is this hype about Tolchinskiy? He is not that great.
 


Where would Vitaly Kravstov rank in the forward group? He was left off roster.

Simply put, nowhere near.

Forward selections are the only ones that more or less make sense to me though. The goalie situation is pretty sad (which is whatever as long as they don't pick Samonov and Askarov to the final team because SKA things) and whoever picked that defense is just one big joker. I understand they wanted to have a balance between righties and lefties but seriously... Yelesin over Marchenko, for example? What kind of genius does one have to be to make that pick?

Gusev - Karnaukhov - Marchenko (Karnaukhov was always surprisingly great on the NT as compared to his play for CSKA. Creative center with a creative Gusev and a goalscorer in Marchenko)
Karnaukhov hasn't played center since junior and he has hands of stone, what are you thinking. "Surprisingly great" my ass.

Karnaukhov was, unfortunately, even sometimes a second line center at the last World Championships.
