You can't have 9 KHL players and hope to win. KHL is a joke league. Yevgeni Medvedev couldn't make the American Hockey League he has no business on an olympic roster yet he was their 3rd or 4th best defenseman.
Is it the fault of their defenders if Russia could only score 1 goal for almost 40 shots??
Blame the likes of Ovie, Geno or Kovalchuk, not the defenders.
Finalnd doesn't need centers.

God damn Ovechkin looks like one step from suicide watch. I feel bad now.
As a Canadian who knows how much the game means to Russian fans, I know it would be devastating to lose the GF on home soil.
It can't be easy being in that arena right now.
Finns prolly got pissed when Kovalchuk celebrated the way he did
Radulov
Finland
That crowd reaction.
The Canadian broadcast crew at CBC was an embarrassment today. Idiots all of them.
russian fans deserve better than this, how come there is ZERO compete out there ? unexcusable
Russia struggled to beat Slovakia and Norway. If they play like they did the past 2 games, Finland will beat them soundly. You probably should be more concerned about if and when Russia's offense is ever going to wake up.
I repeat where will Finlands O come from. Russia plays a solid collapsing system.

Ovechkin taking the post game interview like a champ
Erik Karlsson has been the best defenseman so far, followed by Doughty. Congrats to a well-deserved win, neighbours.

Stop blaming KHLers. Finland has KHLers.
It's the NHLers who failed Russia.
