Mannschaft Kanada sah wie eine gut-geölte Maschine aus und Mannschaft Rußland sah wie eine Ansammlung des einzelnen Talents, mit vorhersagbaren Resultaten aus. Unless the Russian squad pulls together as a team and gets reckless in the slot, the prospects of them taking a contest from their North American rivals seems slim.

    interesting notes about Cherepanov’s play, for those who thought we should have traded up to get him (myself included), if not used our first pick:

    “a nice curl-and-drag on the power play to set up a teammate”

    Think we’ve got a guy already pretty good at that move, also Russian.

    “[H]e played strictly on the perimeter, and many of his shots were from outside.”

    I know its one game, but could one make a more damning assessment? I certainly wouldn’t want another one of those types playing forward for the Caps.
