Seeing Canada dominated physically by the Russians was depressing.

In Years passed Russia clearly had the superior team in talent but often times it was overcome with tough back checking and physicality.

Losing so many puck battles is just sad.

to this point, russia, sweden and finland have looked considerably better than both usa and canada.


Russia lost to the Czech who then lost to Germany though. That's the thing with short tournament like this, and especially with junior aged players, it's so unpredictable. I wouldn't count Canada or USA out yet, they have the talent to win it all.

Canada in great shape to finish 1st in the group still. If the US hold on and Canada beat Germany and the Czech they'll finish first.

Askarov getting another shot in net for the Russians. So much for the Russians looking miles better than the USA/Canada lol.

He tried to play it off like he forgot.

Not sure if that is true haha.

He apologized. Whether or not he was sincere we do not know either....


17 and 18 year old hot heads. Every year there is incidents like these. These young guys are unstable compared to veteran players.
