I just think you have to stay on top of them, you don't allow them to play with that kind of pace. It is a repeatable effort, it is something we have seen annually at this point. You can put it as blocking shots. but they do a pretty good job of limiting their chances when they meet up. If you hang off of them and let them get comfortable you are in trouble, you can pack the middle but you need to be aggressive when the puck spills. A lot of teams get caught puck watching and stop moving their feet and Russia just kills you as soon as that happens.

You're onto it.

I'm predicting a match up Russia-Canada in the semifinal.

Only thing better would be if it was for Gold.

We have to right that game snipes, I can even take a loss if we play them straight up hard and make the game miserable for them.

That last result can't be allowed to stand, we NEED to play them again.

Stutzle reminds me of Marner at times, I love his edge work while controlling the puck.

He doesn't do the quick tight dipsy doodles like him though.

Stutzles a better straight line balls out skater.

Askarov looks super confident. Love it.

 

[Peter25]

Morozov and Denisenko are the worst players for Russia.

Add Sokolov to the list.

 

[Canucks LB]

Podkozlin is a beast. Lucky Canucks

People are starting to finally finish some of his plays.

Of course as I type this he sets up a great pass for a breakaway that was missed lol

 

[Kshahdoo]

Add Sokolov to the list.

Yeah, big, but very noncreative player.

Pdkolzin should have had so many points already, but his teammates just can't score. Morozov especially. It was the same way vs CHL teams.

 

[Sens72]

So is pushing a stick just not a penalty at the IIHF level?

 

[c9gunner]

Russia is back to making dumb penalties.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Morozov is so good in everything, but scoring.

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmfao

Guy thinks he’s hasek

 

[TheYardMachine]

Askarov didnt want to have a shutout

 

[Kshahdoo]

Well, stupid play killed Askarov's shutout.

 

[Opak]

Don't know what Askarov was doing

 

[c9gunner]

Askarov is his own worst enemy.

I definitely see some Marner there and thats who I was thinking at first but agree with the post below. At 5 on 5 Stutzle moves a lot quicker than Marner does, on the PP i see Marner.

He doesn't do the quick tight dipsy doodles like him though.

Stutzles a better straight line balls out skater.

Honestly watching Stutzle skate and stick handle I think the best style comparison in the league might be McDavid. Hes obviously not the same player but he plays at such a fast pace with his hands keeping up that thats who I see when I watch him. Hes a really good passer as well. He also has that really fast first step that catches dmen off guard.

I'm open to hearing other comparisons because McDavid is McDavid but thats who I'm reminded of most

Sorry Germamy. You guys were great! Congrats Russia. If you win gold I won't be surprised. Best 5 on 5 team I've seen so far.

He attacks like Mcdavid.

I kind of see Gaborik myself.

 

[Oberyn Martell]

At least we did better than canada lol

 

[ViD]

At least we did better than canada lol

[jj cale]

At least we did better than canada lol

No medals for that unfortunately.

 

[Lambo]

Finn's arguably have best goalie in tournament... Would be a great game. That'll be the most exciting quarter for sure.
