They are both clearly busts... send them to the salt mines will you.
I am frustrated out of my mind, two Olympics in a row we beat the defending gold medalist in the quarters and then lose a game in which we are favourites in the semis. Ovechkin and Kovalchuk were shutout in the final... but so was Russia's best player - Datsyuk. Hell, even the subs Nepryiev and Taratukhin were shutout, make a fuss over that, its a ****ing team sport... two guys getting shutout doesn't matter anymore than the next two guys being shutout.
Defence was our problem if you're going to make a fuss of guys being prevented from/not doing their job on their own. Kovalev, Volchenkov, Vishnesvky, Nepryiev, and Tartukhin belong to my #1 group of blame. Malkin, Kharitonov, Kovalchuk, Nabokov, and Krikunov make the 2nd unit.
