The Russian goalie looks awful, I know this isn't the A squad and this series is a measurement of nothing, but man... this guy looks like he's been playing Bantam hockey all year, by far the biggest standout (not of the good variety) on their team.

Konstantin Barulin played.
Well it wasn't the best game to judge defenceman(on team OHL anyway), if you've read through any of the comments, I'm sure you know what I mean.Jacobv2 said:If someone could give a brief summary of Carcillo and Bissonnette, that would be great. Mmmkay.
Boomhower said:And Foppa if you think this was Canada's "A" team you are sorely mistaken, you do realize this was just the OHL all stars and that their are two other Canadian junior leagues, that are the equivalent of the OHL......not to mention a few NHL players who are eligible for the WJC.

Great game!!!!
Genghis Keon said:Yep. Generally speaking, this team would probably be considered one of Canada's three "D" teams (the other "D" teams being the WHL team and the QMJHL team). Canada's three "C" teams could be considered a combination of the best players from two of the three league's teams (either WHL+OHL, WHL+QMJHL, or OHL+QMJHL). The "B" team could be considered the best players of the 3 leagues. And the "A" team would obviously be the best players with of the 3 teams with any or all of the eligible NHL players.

When you're up 5-1 and you see your opponent doesn't stand a chance... especially when it's a friendly tournament, you kind of have to lay off a little.
I think the OHL did that, this game could have easily gone in the double digits.
