So we are sitting in the first place. An extra day of rest. What I like is that we have so many scorers....

 

[Siberian]

Russia gets the job done in the group, hopefully that will carry over to playoffs.

How about Khoudobin. This guy is awesome. Pogge, Khoudobin and maybe Rask, one of which will be the best goalie in the tournament.

 

[Den]

Man, but Czechs seriously outshot us: 29:37...

 

[Berkut]

How about Khoudobin. This guy is awesome. Pogge, Khoudobin and maybe Rask, one of which will be the best goalie in the tournament.

Yeah...he was awesome last year espacially in the finals...
The guy may be good, but he chokes when it counts.

he deserves another chance. he will be fine. anyway great game for him today

 

[Berkut]

Yes, good game from him tonight tough!
I'm happy our attack is working great and all lines are firing! 21 goals scored so far!

 

[Glen Erickson]

How about Khoudobin. This guy is awesome. Pogge, Khoudobin and maybe Rask, one of which will be the best goalie in the tournament.

I don't know if he will be good enough to walk away with a gold medal next week, but I like his performance so far. The kid has played in 13 international tournaments for Russia (let's assume I'm wrong and it's 12 ).

Unfortuanetly, the easiest thing for people to do is predict that someone will choke, because their is no risk in making the prediction

Pretty tough for anybody to imply he's a stiff, especially after 35 saves tonite against the Czechs. But I'm sure some experts will bring up a tough game from last year's WJC...

He didn't choke. Canada had a juiced up group last season. Too strong of a team even for freaking Tretiak Junior.

 

[Berkut]

No, they were not. At least 3 of canadian 6 goals were shots from outside of faceoff circles...He let in the first shot of the game...I mean, that game he really choked.

 

[Den]

I concur. He was less than briliant
