WC: 2021 Russia Roster Talk

[Eye of Ra]

and btw why are SR and Kamenev on the team (besides the obvious being on ska roster) beats me. Both had a bad season and bad play offs.
At least Karnaukhov is a pk guy, and Timkin can be physical which is needed.

i guess kamenev made it becuse he was in nhl last season.

Actually ShvetsRogovoy-Kamenev-Timkin line was probably the only line that clicked at the last Eurotour stage.


Meanwhile, the first official tournament roster:

 

[Lindgren]

Lines on the first ice practice in Riga.

Samonov, Bocharov

Zub - Zadorov
Gavrikov - Provorov
Ozhiganov - Dronov

Galimov - Morozov - Burdasov
Shvets-Rogovoy - Kamenev - Voronkov

Reserve:
Fedotov

Tolchinsky, Safonov, Timkin, Kuzmenko, Podkolzin.

Great post. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Kamenev led SKA forwards in TOI in the playoffs. I wouldn't call it bad, out of all SKA forwards he was the one most likely to make it as long as Bragin is the coach. As he is the most played forward on his own team.

i guess kamenev made it becuse he was in nhl last season.

Yeah no. One could argue he was in the NHL last season for the same reason he is on this roster though.

I'm actually really excited to see him, he is definitely one of Russia's best centers of that generation, too bad injuries troubled him so badly. But maybe he can still make up the lost ground.

The guy has always had hype around him, I never actually seen him play consistently well especially to the hype's expectations.

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

above are his play off stats - this is pathetic, sorry, especially given PT

 

[cska78]

Meanwhile - Kosov joins Avangard.

 

[cska78]

Valtteri Kemiläinen (D) goes to Vityaz', who also announce Babenko as the HC today

 

[SoundAndFury]

I mean Marchenko had 4 points in 12 games, Vey 5 in 15, Kuzmenko 6 in 16. It was a tough PO for SKA, no question about it but some guys played well regardless.

 

[Flynn84]

Any information for PP units?

In the first period vs. Chech Rep.

PP1:
Provorov, Slepyshev, Barabanov, Shalunov, Okulov

PP2:
Ozhiganov, Burdasov, Voronkov, Morozov, Grigorenko

 

[ViD]

I think Kaprizov will likely join the team soon

 

[Rillijuti]

Okulov injured?

 

[Khokhlach86]

Okulov injured?

Yes, shoulder injury.
He will not play today and will probably out until the end of the tournament.

 

[Rillijuti]

bocharov in goal?

 

[Flynn84]

Tolchinskiy and Kuzmenko officially added to the roster

 

[ViD]

I think Kaprizov will likely join the team soon

Very soon now.

Samsonov to join Samonov?

 

[Khokhlach86]

Samsonov, Orlov and Tarasenko agreed to play at the World Championship.
Ovechkin declined (injury)

 

[Caser]

If the reports are correct, the 4 remaining roster spots are for Nesterov, Orlov, Tarasenko and Samsonov.

 

[Kshahdoo]

If the reports are correct, the 4 remaining roster spots are for Nesterov, Orlov, Tarasenko and Samsonov.

Heh, I'd prefer Gusev and Kaprizov instead of Orlov and Nesterov. We already have very good top4 defensemen, and our forwards aren't as good.

Of course, Kaprizov and Gusev don't have signed contracts for the next season, which could make them refusing to come.

Reports are there that Kaprizov doesn't have a visa, so that would take some time. Not to mention that due to 6 days of quarantine/testing delay upon the arrival you just take those, who just can arrive faster.

 

[ViD]

Must be the first time ever when Russia’s defense is actually much better than offense

 

[MaxV]

Orlov is welcome. He finished the season white hot, by far the best stretch of games of his career. In general, he is very underrated right now.

 

[Caser]

Samsonov isn't joining though.

I was watching the USA-Kazakhstan game today and they said that there's quarantine in place for six days. I wonder if the info is correct or does Tarasenko play already tomorrow against Denmark?
