2012 Subway Series

[Davebo*]

Not so, they almost called a perfect game, until they decided to give Canada a pp in the end out of blue, pp I called btw.

Oh look - now they are favouring russia.

Or - maybe a penalty is a penalty - ever think of that???

So - OHL vs Russia now stans at 18-1. Can't win them all, and an 18 game winning streak is pretty damn impressive!

Current 1 game losing streak bud

Russia's big, speedy guys are scary. Only gonna get better at big ice aswell.

 

[Bure]

lol yeah Yakupov is definitely frustrated. Missed the open net.

 

[Leaf4Life]

murphy sucked

Agreed. Nothing new though.

The guy is the biggest puck hog at critical moments in a game.

Wasn't his fault? Not sure how Subban would have changed that. Not sure if you're reffering to last years WJC or the year before but Visentin wasn't to blame either year.

5 goals on 10 shots in the 3rd period of that collapse in Buffalo. Wedgewood was the goat last year, with 4 goals allowed on 13 shots. Visentin allowed another 2 on 9, after coming in. My point is, our goaltending has been terrible of years. What about Jake Allen in 2010? At least we have Subban, but I'm tired of the coaching staff giving the others a chance when they're clearly not at his level. Happened in the Junior Summit a few months ago too.

 

[Alberta tough]

Congrats Russia.

 

[Bjorn Le]

That was probably the most boring junior game I've ever watched. Russia plays a conservetive style most of the game, shutdowns Canada's offense who didn't seem that motivated, then gets two lucky bounces, the first a great play by the Russian, not so much by Binnington, the second a pretty pedestrian shot on a bad scoring chance that should have been stopped than some more defensive hockey.

 

[Suxnet]

Well that's team Russia for ya.

Also, Strome was terrible.

 

[Playmaker09]

Koekkoek had the worst performance of anyone in the 3 games played up to now. Just brutal everywhere.

Impressive none the less but only for a few years has Russia sent a decent team.

I still dont really understand the reference but oh well

Thanks for the amazing insight captain obvious.

 

[oilers2k10]

I wonder how Jet Lagged Yakupov is..hes been to Russia and back about 4 or 5 times since the end of last season..

first 4 khl games he had i think 1 point..
now he has 10 goals in 14 games

 

[MonsterSurge]

Not really

I wasn't aware checking from behind is from the side now.

 

[cska78]

That miss by Yakupov needs to be made into a gif and its the best description of his game.

ha-ha no s....but Canada is doing a great job keeping him frustrated, he needs to learn, that he can still be helpful, even when double teamed and shut down, it comes with experience.

 

[Mathletic]

thought this would be a blowout with Russia playing its 3 game in 4 nights, OHL rested, good defence and everything. Kudos to Russia and Ustinsky especially. I thought he played very well. Size will hold him back I guesss from having a shot at the NHL but very talented kid nonetheless.

 

[Bure]

Boring game I agree, Russia didn't play the greatest, and Canada's offense was non-existent imo.

This, actually fell asleep. Woke up just before the 2 russian goals

 

[CrosKinnon]

Has the OHL and WHL always used two completely different rosters for the two games?

I hear you, don't know why they'd be content with Subban only getting seven shots when Binnington can play next week.

And I love Ryan Murphy but he doesn't look great when he plays for Canada.

 

[Fantomas]

I much prefer Grigorenko's game sense to Yakupov's.

Yakupov is a hard worker, but gets too nervous.

Anyone have a link to Graovac's goal?
