Canada is better at putting the puck in the net then, just because Russia is selective about their shots doesn't mean that the shooting percentage is going to be higher. They can take 3 shots in a game and miss all of them.
My hunch is that he missed the rest of the period to get stitched up and they used the hit as an opportunity to do so.
so Canada is better at scoring while taking stupider shots? I guess that's why we beat you then
Your argument makes no sense
When did I say canada takes stupid shots? I said they throw everything at net. That doesn't meant those are bad shots.
What isn't their to understand, Russia is selective about the shots they take in general.

but when he got cut they didn't stitch him up then, therefore clearly if they used that time to stitch him up the hit from behind must have made the cut worse, not to mention the other injuries he suffered, nobody noticed the bruises on his face?
Also injury don't even matter, that was a terrible hit, deserved 5 and a game whether he got carried off on a stretcher, or if he got up thanked the russian and gave him a kiss, the hit was game misconduct worthy either way

Must be nice cheering for a good goalie Actually, Subban in the net reminds me a lot of a certain maligned NHL goalie. Very similar postures IMO.
I mentioned the same thing yesterday...both seem to overplay a bit, and then rely on superb athleticism to scramble back into play...
Maybe not as much of a good of a comparison now, but younger much maligned NHL goalie and Subban appear quite similar....
We pretty much dominated Russia which was so relieving to see. It's great to see Subban has settled down. I really hope we can bring home the you know what.
Russia doesn't have Kuznestsov to single-handedly beat Canada this year. I think this shows how great Kuznetsov was for Russia in the last 2 WJC. Yakupov is good, but he's not on the level that Kuznestsov was.
won't get much argument from there. Also happy to see Subban playing like he's capable of!I think both are great goalies, and both get too much crap than they deserve. And their playing styles appear similar. I also find it funny that shooters target both goalies glove sides.
One thing I find funny is that on these boards, when Team Canada has lost in the past, most of us Canadian fans will come on here and just bag on every single player and every single screw-up they comitted in the losing game. The coaches are at fault, the program, the minor hockey system, this guy shouldn't be on the team, Visentine sucks, etc etc etc.
Russian fans, on the other hand, will suggest that their team is and was better even though they lost the game 4-1.
It's kind of funny how different we are, culturally speaking.
I think we should meet somewhere in the middle. We probably shouldn't be so hard on our players, and they shouldn't be so easy on theirs. But whatever, that's what makes it interesting I guess.
