    I totally agree...Russian D is pretty weak on this tourney. Bobrovsky must bring his A-game today against these Swedes.

    One thing bothers me how the f did telegin get in there, same goes for datsyuk tbh he is too old to play at the very top level. Radulov should have gotten a place instead of them.

    I think it's more of a farewell tourney for Datsuyk...agree about Telegin. As for Radulov, I think the last thing we need on this tourney is someone who cannot control his emotions - every penalty could be very costly.

    Yeah i know Radulov looses his tempers at times, but i just love his style as a player just pure skill. Still remember him playing with the green gloves lmao. Would have liked to se Kovalchuk get in there as well but fear his days of playing for Russia are over.

    Yeah Kovie is done with the national team. The good thing is we have plenty of offensive talent to replace him.

    Datsyuk takes Kuznetsov place in the line up, tragic. Datsuyk should be in the 4th line with telegin smh

    Russia is playing like US played against EU. So many skilled players but no effort, Bob is the only player trying for team Russia sadly.

    yeah...Sweden is no Team Europe though - lots of high class players. Still need a better effort from the Russians in the 3rd frame.

    No their not but they should do it much better in the 3rd hopefully. Every time we have a good team and you get a bit hyped and they just fail again and again. Like in sochi... in other words pazorniki

    Feel the same way should be able to beat Finland. The amount of future stars in their team is unreal.

    Worth a shot in both games. They play a very fast game and have a SC winning goalie so why not.

    Russia tonight, the price is right... over the North America U23 team.
    They delivered for us last night but Russia is not Finland.

    btw I've noticed in these games we are better off taking the team
    to win in regulation at higher odds, then cover it with a separate
    draw bet, than to take them full OT price. It's around 20% better,
    the only sacrifice is that if it goes to OT and your team wins,
    you don't win; of course this also means you don't lose if they lose
    in OT.

    Russia played worse in their first game than Finns did. The only way I see Russia win tonight is if their forwards outperform NA's forwards. Zero hopes on Russia's defense. So might be a highnscoring game.

    The Swedish team played fantastic defense, they have the bodies and smarts to do that.
    Russia could have been given that goal at the end. It hit a stick.

    North America Age 23 and Under players are fast, but they are hodgepodge unit, not a real team..
    sure, we won with them last night against Finland, but Finland is not Russia !
    The Russian team is more mature, I'll take the fully developed guys in their prime over
    the youngsters, especially on the defensive side. The challenges Russia faced against
    Sweden offensively will not exist tonight. Russia can win by more than 1 goal, I'm on
    a bite of that also
