TSN commentator consistently mixing up Kucherov and Gusev

Hell yeah Vasilevskiy.

 

[Kaktus*]

I think Vasilevskiy has Lenin on his mask.

 

[c9gunner]

Vasilevsky looks so confident and solid.

I was being sarcastic. The old saying about Russian D is that Russian D-men are just the players who couldn't make it to become the forwards. And yes - any D-man has better chances to score a goal than their goalie. As far as they don't try to score their own net.

didn't get the sarcasm my bad

Oh and you never know Vasilevskiy might score, the guy is on a mission so far

I like Gusev. I hadn't seen much of him before this game.

 

[c9gunner]

I think Vasilevskiy has Lenin on his mask.

It's actually Putin

 

[Fulcrum]

Yakupov on the blue line...

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Is Russia playing with 4 forwards right now?

 

[Fulcrum]

Swiss shots are all direct, visible and nothing special. Not even aimed.

But Vasilevski makes it looks pretty easy too

 

[c9gunner]

Gusev is doing a great job by ditributing the puck.

 

[Kaktus*]

It's actually Putin

Is it? ok

 

[cska78]

Kucherov is continuing with his SSS syndrome not scoring one-on-one...

 

[Fulcrum]

Gusev - Kucherov with their trademark missile pass...

Kucherov needs to work on his finishing a bit

How is that a penalty on Yakupov. Loved seeing that!

idk, didn't see one there

 

[c9gunner]

Too many men on ice. It's called Karma

 

[c9gunner]

our PP just sucks

 

[Fulcrum]

our PP just sucks

It'll be ok- give'em time

 

[Mathletic]

oh well, so much for Vasilevski as one of my dark horse for the draft

 

[Canada4Gold]

give 'em a penalty shot

a penalty with 1.2 seconds left is not a penalty at all

 

[cska78]

a lot to work on, untill we meet again! congrats braza's

 

[zhenyas most fly rep]

lol the defense ****ing up till the end.

Well deserved shutout though. Vasilevskiy easily the best player and Kuznetsov pretty underwhelming in the 2nd half of the game.
