Sasha!

Sasha...Russian collusion on US team never looked so good.

Jack Hughes got a louder cheer for his assist than Sasha did for the goal. I think I was the only one anywhere near me that clapped for the actual goalscorer.

I don't think canucks fans realize their team is doing too well to have a good shot at him.

 

[LadyStanley]

We know him!

Today in the "unfortunate jersey derby" around Rogers Arena, I saw a couple wearing Canada jerseys with a Reinhart and Zach Fucale on them. I don't know which Reinhart, but does it really matter?

Also the garbage arena DJ is just mashing a dozen songs together in some sort of medley and it sounds awful. Even before it segued into Justin Bieber and Drake.

But at least they're not playing Pitbull right?

 

[Used As A Shield]

Haven't been able to watch, but has Hughes been creating as many chances against as he has been creating for, as the internet bickering suggests?

 

[The Nemesis]

I don't think I've seen Sasha take a shift this period. But he is on the bench.

Preparing him early to get Melker'd?

But at least they're not playing Pitbull right?

This is true.

 

[The Nemesis]

There we go. Finally

Americans feel like they're hanging on for dear life. They get small bursts offset by periods of weathering a Russian attack.

They really could use an insurance goal.

And I have no idea why Sasha gets hosed by the team shortening it's bench. He's had a good game and they obviously trust him enough for both pp and pk duty.

He's actually Ukrainian, but ehhh, close enough.

What was Bragin waiting for to pull the goalie? That was dumb

 

[undercovernerd]

My heart is broken.

слава россии!!!!!

He’s an idiot. Complete idiot.

Could only watch with the game muted in the background, but looked like US just held on for the entire 3rd. GWG for Sasha though. One more to go.

It felt like they were hanging on for like half the game. They would have like 30 seconds of attack and then 2 minutes of Russian counterattack

If you're wondering, Sasha is like 7th from the right end. The camera guy in white is almost pointing the lens right at his head

 

[The Nemesis]

Rogers Arena WiFi is total garbage. Which is part for the course when it comes to telecom service from a Rogers company.

 

[The Nemesis]

Anyone want a signed Toews 2010 Olympic jersey? They have one at the silent auction booth. It might be a replica, but you'd be the envy of Pierre McGuires everywhere.

 

[The Nemesis]

Pre-game wooing. Of course...


Also the arena is dead. I hoped for a better turnout tonight, but it seems like lots were just here for usa/Russia.

Too bad. Switzerland has been legitimately entertaining.

There's a guy here wearing a Colorado Avalanche Nail Yakupov jersey.

Wow. That guy wins the disappointing jersey derby forever.

Also his friends might want to take him for a mental health checkup. That seems like a serious cry for help.

Wow. That guy wins the disappointing jersey derby forever..

I saw someone in a Filatov Blue Jackets sweater earlier this year. I winced.
