Who to fear in a shootout?

[Hedberg]

Jarkko Ruutu

Yes. Don't get in a shootout with Finland.

 

[The Kingslayer]

not joe sakic thats for sure

 

[Tume]

Aside from being the NHL player with the most goals at the Olympic level (9), Miro Satan is quite capable at the shootout as well.

I´m not sure if I understood you correctly...but Selanne has 14 goals at the Olympic level.

 

[12# Peter Bondra]

Maybe he meant in one tournament?

 

[NJ_Devil_Boy]

Brodeur
Kozlov

 

[Tume]

Maybe he meant in one tournament?

Maybe....that´s why I wasn´t sure about what he meant...

 

[AfroThunder396]

I think it should be meantioned that Gomez is 1/1 on penalty shots this year. My shootout dream team:
Jokinen
Kozlov
Malik
Ovechkin
Jokinen (again)

 

[Slitty]

Russia will probably feature something like:

1. Ovechkin
2. Datsyuk
3. Afinogenov
4. Kovalev/Kovalchuk/Whoever is Hot
5. Kozlov

If we didnt have Nabokov in net, I'd like our chances come a shootout.

 

[DaMick]

Malik id say...God only knows what next street hockey move he'll pull out

 

[barfy2000]

Marek Malik

 

[langs15]

To score- Kozlov

To protect the net- Brodeur

 

[FoppaArGud]

a few

Alfredsson, Jagr (though he CHOKED in the WCs in Prague; devastation moment!), Foppa, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk.

Hasek and Vokoun both, man, Vokoun murdered the Flyers in our first shootout of the year.

Pretty much every team is dangerous. Lots of clutch players, too, like Hagman, Ruutu, Prospal, Dvorak etc that dont get that much attention.

I am really looking forward to seeing the great open ice defenders operate, if you ask me there is some marvelous defense in international play from guys like Lidstrom, Lehtonen, Handzus, etc. I think it has improved Chara a lot, too, he really has to shoulder a huge load and play in every spot for the Slovakian squad.

 

[Metallian*]

Jussi Jokinen & Ovechkin

 

[Hyack57]

Finland:

Nittymaki: 11/20 (.550)
Norrena/?: N/A

J.Jokinen: 7/7 (1.000)
O.Jokinen: 1/4 (.250)
M.Koivu: 1/2 (.500)
Laaksonen: 1/1 (1.000) -- beauty against Brodeur
Miettinen: 1/1 (1.000)
T.Ruutu: 1/1 (1.000) -- injured
Selanne: 2/5 (.400)

Berg, Hentunen, N.Kapanen, S.Kapanen, S.Koivu, Lehtonen, Lydman, Numminen, Peltonen, Pitkanen, J.Ruutu, Salo, Timonen, Vaananen: N/A

Jarkko Ruutu is 2 for 2... @ Chi and @ Col last night.

I hope that the Malik thing is toungue in cheek. I doubt he can pull off that move twice and that was a trick shot. Can he be relied on to score on a non-gimmick goal that the goalie might expect and has seen before?

 

[Haik]

I think Russia has the most dangerous group.

 

[edd1e]

I think Russia has the most dangerous group.

i think so too.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I think Russia has the most dangerous group.

Either them or the Slovaks, they just have snipers
