GDT: Group A • Dec. 28 • Russia 3, Slovakia 1

Extremely unimpressed with Grigorenko...and that's not a reflection of my avatar as I believe we're more likely to pick 2cd or at least top 5 and not 1st overall.

I'm really not liking his game and I'm trying to. He stands around a lot, he skates VERY slowly...he just doesn't look like much of a factor at all. He looks like didn't get any sleep before this game.

These Russian games are so nice to watch.

Last nights game and this one are so good.
Russia can really throw that puck around when they want to.

And Slovakia is no slouch. They have some great talent.

There have been too many missed passes from Russia which often resulted in stupid giveaways.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Tvrdon is either being benched or he's injured.

 

[Dynamo81]

0 Team Chemistry lol

 

[Krotak]

Might be Frank Nitti..

The mask is really similar to Nittymaki ..

Great job, thanks

 

[Kamzik]

Jurco is venturing into Ovechkin numbers in terms of shots in this game.

 

[Dynamo81]

Beautiful goal from Russia

 

[Krotak]

Oh ****...

Very smart play by Grigorenko!

 

[Harv]

Killer.

Really? I thought they were really struggling tonight for the most part.

 

[Kamzik]

Tvrdon on for the powerplay with Jurco. Sorry, that is Mraz. 12 looked like 17.

At times, i appreciate how they can throw the pill around. Is all. Just enjoying the talent they have.

 

[Kamzik]

Tvrdon on now this time for realz.

Yeah, no doubt.

Hehe...kind what I was thinking but didn't want to be the one to say it first.

Good effort for Slovakia. Heads up boys. Simboch, Marincin, Gernat, Janosik, Cajkovsky, Jurco, Matousek, you were great. Now go into the games versus Sweden and more importantly Switzerland with some confidence.

 

[Dynamo81]

Credit to the Slovaks, good work will be a crazy match with Switzerland for 3rd place.

Russia needs some improving going forward too many times the pass is too late, too early, too heavy, too soft

 

[MaxV]

Tough game. But a win is a win.

A couple of lines are still looking out of sync for Russia.

Kuznetsov-Apalkov-Barbashev line isn't working well together at all.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Yea Slovakia hung in there. Which i thought they would. Jurco got a little too individual there and they need Tvrdon going.

Yeah, I agree + I was impressed by Toman, not bad player at all...

Win is a win, loss is a loss. Good job by Slovakia, but at the end of the day 0 pts.

I think Kosov would look good instead of Barbashev.
