This is for all of our Team Russia fans!! In this thread lets put our "Best or Better" players and Players that didnt help the team one bit."Bad" players who might wanna be left of the team if they dont change the way they play for next olympics/national team. Kudos to Team Finland, and Czechs for beating us, please though refrain from gloating like i've seen you do in other threads, especially Team SUOMI fans.
My nominations are:
Best: Darius Kasparitis-This guy is well known, he isnt that fast or that big doesnt have the fastest shot or the most accurate(actually its pretty bad) but he was one of the bright stars for our confused somewhat squad, Shot blocking, huge bodychecks, well made plays, fearless, this guy really impressed me, and I watch him all the time on the Rangers, Hats of to you Darius you make me proud to be a team Russia Fan.
Better: Ovechkin/Datsyuk/Malkin- Our most dangerous forwards, they created lots of chances and played with lots of heart and passion.
KHARITONOV-can this guy fly or what? very fast player, created lots of chances for us
Good and Bad- Kovalev/Kozlov/Korolyuk/Nabokov Kovalev played awsome few games and had brain farts in 2 final games, Kozlov was a machine against Sweden and Canada, but wasnt there last 2 games, Korolyuk was sucha great addition but got injured Nabokov was awsome all tournament long except for game against Finland, when we could have used his magic .
BADor Need improvement: Yashin/Tyutin/Volchenkov/Gonchar
I dont know whats the deal with Yashin, it seems like the Islanders have ruined once an excellent forward, He sucked in this tournament. Tyutin on PP was a bad decision, although he made some good plays in our own end, Tyutin just wouldnt shoot on PP, and we needed some flipping shots. Volchenkov looked tired, inexperienced, and intimidated, I think he'll do fine next olympics. Gonchar: can this guy miss the net anymore? Or be more predictable with his passes? I dont know if the ice was that bad or Sergei just cant pass anymore, or stop a pass!!
Well thats all i have for now :
