hows semin been playin?

 

[Slay]

Russia dominated in 1st but few stupid mistakes in D that let 2 goals made it look a close game.

 

[Tritsche]

How's Kevin Romy been playing?

Defensive he plays very strong, but in the offense he hasn't many great action so far. He is the 13 player and change always the line, so its very difficult to come in offensive rhythm.

Gee, what a surprise! Russian defense and mistakes, they can´t live without each other!

 

[Slay]

Yashin got 4 min penalty then Semin got penalty (both for high sticking) and Russia let another goal in 3 vs 5.

 

[FrenchKheldar]

Kovalchuk will wake up thanks to the return of Zinovjev. 1 PPG and 1 breakaway goal. It will take 1 period for the new line-up to take its marks and then Aebischer will get shelled. Final 4-1 Russia

Well I got some of it right Hopefully, the D will cut down the mistakes, Russia doesn't need a scare against Switzerland. But kudos to the Swiss for being opportunistic !

[Weber Fan]

WOOOW!!!

Can someone describe Streit goal please???

 

[Jacob]

What was Semin doing killing penalties?

 

[Slay]

Referee suprises me. Swiss player went to penalty box by his own will but referee gave penalty only to Markov and Swiss on PP.

 

[Slay]

Russia scores, Kovalev.

 

[The True Blue Crew]

[Slay]

Poor goaltending?

 

[Sykie]

Can someone describe Streit goal please???

A very simple shot, not very hard, in the middle of the cage. Maybe it was deviated but I'm really not sure. I supposed the puck went under the arm of the goalie.

Seriously, Russia should try to play with a real goalie one day, it could help. The first and the third goal are very questionnable... the russian players are really impressive but they'll need serious goaltending if they want to do anything in the tournament...

 

[The True Blue Crew]

sounds like it.
look, conklin is keeping the yanks alive, whereas who is this sokolov dude ?

Poor goaltending?

 

[Kaizer]

Zvyagin is OK. D sucks big time. I can not watch this, turned off my TV on the 10th minute of the 2nd period

 

[Peter25]

With Evgeny Nabokov, Sergei Gonchar, Fedor Tyutin, Anton Volchenkov and Vitali Vishnevsky Russia would be the #1 or #2 favorite in this tournament. But with this sorry excuse for a defense they are only a longshot.

 

[Peter25]

I know I have bashed Russia´s defense a lot. But they deserve all the bashing they are getting. It´s too bad this team with so much offensive talent will not win the gold because of this porous defense.
