For me, this has to be one of the weakest Team Russia since the times of Maxim Sokolov and Igor Podomatsky.
This year, this can be said about all the top teams, except possibly the Czech Republic and Switzerland.

He's signed for 4 more years, by the way. I would be surprised if Provorov refused to play for national team (if not due to injury or some other serious reason). Glad to see that Provorov will extend his season.
Buchnevich (without contract), Knyzhov (injury) will not play in World Championship.
Nesterov (Calgary) and Barabanov (San Jose) accepted.
Khafizullin out after today game (injury).

Thanks, but a which one? The older one was a prime suspect first, and then i heard a story that the younger one was a suspect. And then the whole news story went away. Very sad case anyway.

What a witty humor ... Panarin refused for personal reasons.

Meh, it was obvious from the start - star players won’t play in this year’s tournament.
I didn't see Team Russians EHT games. What kind of PP1 and PP2 units were against Finland and Sweden? Thanks for answers

Over recent years, lineups like the one above have created interest in the WC in the most surprising of all places - Canada. They simply see an easy kill and a chance to wave the flag while flashing the Gold Medals around their necks. It is always possible that Sweden or Finland could put together good teams, but for Russia, Russian NHL players are becoming incredibly creative in thinking of a million plus reasons why they can't represent their (maybe former) country!

Well if anything, Russian stars were always more willing to play in the WC than those from any other country. It's just that at the same time, Swedes and Finns have done with more. Only times Russia has won was with absolutely stacked teams.
Also Russia should have realized earlier that developing defensemen that could do more than defend against the rush or stand in front of a goal is a good idea. As is having more than one rightie on the team.
But I mean this is all old news, it's just kinda laughable to blame Russian stars for anything in comparison to those on the other teams.

Not the 1990s generation. They were notorious for refusing not only WC but even best-on-best tournaments.
Granted in some cases there might have been a legit reason (Khabibulin and post-defection players) but there was also a long list of players that just didn't go.
