Reffing in this tournament has been horrible...
Abdelkader levels Sobotka with a shoulder to the chest and its called charging.
Didn't Malkin go straight into the top 6 and took at least Tikhonov from Ovechkins former line, while Kuznetsov played 4th line with Burmistrov? Did they just bump someone from top 6 down for Malkin and thereby scratching Kuznetsov?
Does anyone know which side he's been playing on in the tournament?
I've noticed him on the left.
Anyone know why Kuz isn't playing much? I read a rumor he did a prank on the coach and basically the coach said he's done with the national team.
That was a joke by the coach.
Hes out because he and Burmistrov had no chemistry.
Ovechkin was great through all tournament, worked hard even in defense, top captain.
But I was really disappointed with Kuznetsov. Seeing how bad he was in his last year in khl and before that in play-offs(choke), I almost tend to agree with that Russian expert who said that he has regressed. Seems fame has got to his head also a lil bit judging by history of his comments and posts on social media.

Has anyone seen an estimate of how long Orlov will use to get his arm hand 100%? Shame if he gets a poor off-season and will be a step behind come start of the season.
