Olympics: 2014 — Russia Roster Discussion

[Dr Pepper]

I hope Nuke's goal last night in front of the Russian NT staff, helped his cause in making the trip to Sochi.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Nothing???

 

[russianrocket24]

Nothing???

Chesnokov thinks on twitter they may wait until Canada announces its roster.

 

[RobertR]

I really hope Prokhorkin will some have get in.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

You mean somehow lol

 

[RobertR]

Yeah, pardon my English.

I like Russian strategy. You announce roster last, you will finish first.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Or 5th

 

[Yakushev72]

Yeah, pardon my English.

I like Russian strategy. You announce roster last, you will finish first.

You are giving credence to the extremely shaky premise introduced here on HF Boards that the RHF wants at all costs to make sure that they announce their roster last. I think something has gotten lost in the translation there!

 

[ViD]

Kind of embarrassing that we as host nation don't even have some kind of a presentation for the roster, there's no official information on when the roster wil be announced. Everything is being secretly done

 

[Ross_SLO]

Everything is being secretly done

Isn't this the russian way?

 

[FakeKidPoker*]

So is Russia going to smarten up this time and not take a whole bunch of KHLers?

 

[JJTT]

They'll take the NHLers that are worth taking, and the rest will be from the KHL.

Looks good. Kuznetsov and Semin are having rough seasons so this was expected. Glad Nichushkin made it.

 

[ViD]

What the heck... No Syomin ?

 

[BobDobolina]

Who did they leave out last time from the NHL that was worth taking? Nobody.

 

[pulverapa]

No Tryamkin? He's a beast. And not even drafted I think...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Strangely enough I feel this is exactly right players.

Edit: On the other hand, no Semin leaves a bit of a hole in the top-6 so that's a risk.

 

[MrGeno101]

No Semin was a little suprising, happy Nichushkin made it tho.

 

[ViD]

I would take Syomin over Soin any day of the week

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Wooow I had the entire defense right, and all but 2 forwards .... no Semin was not easy to predict

 

[Acallabeth]

They have Soin in "team managenent", no way this is real.

 

[Acallabeth]

It's gone from the FHR site.

IT'S NOT REAL.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

They have Soin in "team managenent", no way this is real.

Yeah why the hell isn't he with the rest of the forwards???
