2010 Winter Olympics - Russia vs Latvia

[Sergei Red Wing 0]

Going back to cold brutal russia makes anyone look older

Give the guy a break, he is the only link between glorious Soviet hockey past and present Russian aspirations. The only thing missing in Fedorov's trophy cabinet is the Olympic Gold medal, and judging by his play last night, he has come to get it.

Old man Fedorov set up the first 2 goals, threw a couple of thunderous hits and played an overall excellent game. Whoever said he is the real captain is right.

Fedorov was their best player when they won WHC gold in 2008. He's going to be huge for them this tournament as well it looks like.

Damn I love that guy.

How come Kozlov doesn't have a picture of a goat on his skates, or Volchenkov with a picture of a wolf?

What kind of picture Afinogenov then suppose to have

PS - I read somewhere Ovie said it the "devil in lamb's skin". Kinda cool!

a demonic goat?

A demonic goat is Victor Kozlov because his last name is translated as "goat". Ovechkin is an infernal "lamb"

Yes, you're allowed to dress 22.

Dunno why Sweden and Russia both have 8 defenders though.

Russian team (as well as old Soviet teams) typically keeps 5 player units together.
