Ahktyamov time?

I'd put him in. Askarov is not good.

Akhtyamov time?

I guess not. Askarov is not looking good.

Maybe after the intermission

 

[Bender]

Is that Askarov who lost his stick for the billionth time? So bizarre.

And again!! Are his hands made of velvet?

I told you guys Askarov would be a bust. Now excuse me while I go delete some posts for no particular reason.

Russia has no needle movers on their defense.

 

[Bender]

Again no stick and he gets scored on. Holy that's so crap.

Tape that stick to his hand. Unreal. That's 3 bad ones in my books.

Well, another hot take - Canada is playing really good hockey.

Russia has no needle movers on their defense.

It seems like its been that way for a very long time. I always thought there were very few quality Russian defensemen in the NHL, so I decided to take a look.

It seems There were only 8 who played more than 10 games in the entire league last year and only 20 that have played more than 50 games over the last 10 seasons and there aren't many players you would call stars among them.

Those are even lower numbers than I would have guessed.

Great work by Abramov.

 

[herman]

Mikhail!!!

Edit: it counts in my heart

 

[Bender]

That is a really stupid rule.

Markov and Gonchar... and then... Zaitsev lol

Edit: Provorov and Sergachev building portfolios

That offside crap has got to go. I'm all for Canada winning but that's a joke.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Pretty easy calls for penalty shots. That would barely be a penalty in the NHL lol.

This is pretty quick work
