Nightfall 871 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Hopefully this prompts the Russians to concentrate more on defense in the future. Tretiak needs to put his foot down and change that hockey program. Their players play defense like you see in video game hockey. After finishing no lower than 4th place in the last 4 olympics, I would say that their program has been pretty darn competitive.

FunkedUp 29 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Wow, this is less exciting than I thought it would be. That goal by Morrow, in my opinion, will be the one that seals the deal. Huge blow to the Russians. If it stays this way Canada will put up more goals against Russia then all of their other opponents. This actually could be a blow-out.

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Don't blame Nabby, Canada's offense looks like a perpetual power play out there. Where's the Russian defense at? This is it. Against teams like the Czechs and Slovaks, Russia has no problem, because those teams don't crash the net. Against a team that tries to attack like Canada, Russia has no heart.

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 This is what happens when you put players in from the KHL. True story. If Russia put in a lot of KHL players to prove that their league can compete with the NHL, its not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not good enough when you have that much talent. I know that they aren't happy with their finishes in recent memory. Also, they haven't won a Gold in those last 4 Olympics, while the other top nations have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 That's my guess. I didn't even know anyone had been banninated. He might have withdrew himself after the loss to the US, maybe thought he would get a lot of ridicule for his badass act. Well, it's understandable because he would have. Now watch, suddenly out of nowhere The Mule will come back and make an "I told you so!" post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Pavs is the only one that looks any good for Russia so far. And even then, he's having a little more trouble on faceoffs than usual. Part of that may be lack of support, but still... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 324 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 True story. If Russia put in a lot of KHL players to prove that their league can compete with the NHL, its not working. Which is the only reason I want Canada to win. I heard the KHL players were talking s*** about their league being better...4-1 says otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepist 3 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 This is more like it. Typical Russian breakdown. They need a goal and some confidence soon. If they do, this'll be tight. Otherwise, Canada will continue to walk right over them. Larionov on Swedish television. He thinks they should change Nabokov. He also thinks they need more than one line.

Serapth 3 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Im shocked at how much of a non factor Ovechkin has been. To me, he is the greatest active hockey player, but you should wouldn't know it this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
