Yup

 

[RipsADrive]

Thanks for the list!

Wish we had a player on Team Canada but at least I'll have a good reason to watch some other games that I otherwise would have skipped.

 

[lakai17]

Phil Kemp was the States last defenceman cut.

 

[McTrashBoat]

Yup

beauty job my friend

 

[harpoon]

Yes.

Safin on the board with the Czechs 2nd goal. Cutting behind the net to a chargin Safin who bangs it home.

 

[Pointteen]

That Safin goal was really fun to watch live.

 

[McMozesmadness]

That Safin goal was awesome.

I’ve watched him with SJ a few times this year and a big gripe I have with him is that he’s huge, but doesn’t use his size enough...

Love seeing the big man drive the net on that goal.

 

[Wewillrise]

Safin looks dangerous, Samorukov has made a few mistakes but solid plays overall.

Necas is the standout so far

 

[Wewillrise]

Abramov has really good vison

 

[ujju2]

I didn't catch the first period, but Safin and Samorukov both seem pretty solid so far in the second.

 

[ujju2]

Samorukov's gotta pass that, but at least it was a decent recovery.

 

[SpoolCat]

Safin gets an assist

 

[Jumptheshark]

Yup

Yes.

 

[McTrashBoat]

5-2

who knows what that goal song is?

 

[snipes]

Safin line is unreal. Chytil looks great.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Pretty good game for Safin, though the Russians came quite close at the end..

 

[Roof Daddy]

Safin looked pretty good. Needs to work on his skating - both top end and first step - but his stride looks strong. Needs to keep his feet moving when he's away from the puck, and needs to anticipate the play better defensively. Other than that (basic things to work on), I was fairly impressed. Really good offensive instincts and showed a good physical presence. Could be another Palat.

Samorukov was all over the map. Thought his first period was good, seemed to play a simple game and made the safe play. Then the second period comes around and it's the exact opposite - steps up to throw a big hit, tried to rush the puck and made a bad turnover, had a bad turnover in the attacking zone passing across the blue line to no one, let a crafty point shot that was a set tip play go on the PP. His play would be hard to describe, but I guess maybe Alexei Emelin.

My first time watching a complete game from either, so just my impression from one game.

 

[TheBoss97]

Interested to see what Yamamoto does

 

[MoneyGuy]

Watching the Canada game and I'm still PO'd that Benson isn't there.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Who's the punk kid walking into the rink with the American team?

Oh wait, it's Yamamoto.
