Ovechkin

If Ovechkin makes the team, should he play on number one line with Fedorov? Samsonov-Fedorov-Ovechkin? Kovalchuck should not be on the number one line, he is to selfish.

Well, I seemingly can't make up my mind about the Russian roster, as it seems to change a little every day.

But as of right now, this is who I would personally name:


Forwards:
Sergei Samsonov - Sergei Fedorov - Alexei Kovalev
Ilya Kovalchuk - Pavel Datsyuk - Pavel Bure
Andrei Nikolishin - Alexei Yashin - Alexander Mogilny
Alexander Ovechkin - Alexei Zhamnov - Valeri Bure
EXTRAS : Sergei Brylin, Vyacheslav Kozlov, Victor Kozlov

Defensemen:
Sergei Gonchar - Daniil Markov
Darius Kasparaitis - Sergei Zubov
Alexei Zhitnik - Dmitri Yushkevich
EXTRAS : Oleg Tverdovsky, Dmitri Kalinin

Goaltenders:
Nikolai Khabibulin
Evgeni Nabokov
EXTRAS: Ilya Bryzgalov

have people been hearing if pavel bure is going to be back and healthy?

I heard him say that he would like to resume skating in June.

And if that is the case, then I would name him now in anticipation for August.

If he isn't ready to go by then, you can always name a replacement.

 

[deathbear]

he also said he would be very surprised if he was named to the team, and says there's a very, very small chance of him being ready to play.

Why don't people read older threads?

This topic has been discussed here already 10 times!!!

Many people gave their thoughts and rosters.

Anyway it will be announced early tomorrow, so there's nothing to discuss.

 

[deathbear]

bure's not going to play.

 

[wilka91*]

bure's not going to play.

of course not

 

[BruinsGirl]

With two Bruins on the roster and me being Russian I might as well be rooting for team Russia.

I hope Gonchar's shoulder will be ready by the time Cup games start.

Go USA! Go Russia!

 

[wilka91*]

Here are 4 players we'll see on tomorrow's list :

Ovechkin
Frolov
Sokolov
Tverdovsky

And probably another player from the superleague, Kovalenko or Sushinski.

 

[deathbear]

Uh-oh...If Kovalenko plays Team Russia is in trouble.

I hope they have enough talented players before Kovy.

 

[ZBORNAJA]

I hope they have enough talented players before Kovy.

When he is motivated he is great...
