@Dabby

If you asked Ovie what he wants more, do you think he’d say the Cup or the World Champs trophy?

Given that only players who have been eliminated from the SC tourney go to WCs, it’s demonstrably true that Champs is a consolation. I don’t mean to diminish the tournament, but it doesn’t hold the same respect as the Cup.

“Cold comfort”??!!You must be joking!For every Russian player (even NHL Russian player )WC Cup is WAY MORE IMPORTANT than Stanley Cup!Especially after last Olympics…It’s great honour to represent their homeland for Russians.They’re very patriotic dudes,you know.I think that Ovechkin,Malkin,Kovalchuk etc.will be EXTREMELY happy to protect their title and give fans a joy.They’re really love Mother Russia and Russian fans.And Russian fans didn’t care about NHL titles.Stanley Cup is an important thing for North Americans,but for Europeans it means NOTHING.

Maybe next year Ovechkin takes off the visor and just starts fighting. If he’s not going to beat any of Gretzky’s records (since, let’s face it, that’s impossible in today’s NHL) he might as well just be the greatest leader he can be, Iginla style.

“I hope Slava Bykov has learned his lesson”

I hope not, don’t want the universe imploding on itself.

@Hale

Yup, that’s exactly what started things, Psycho slewfooted Semin, and Feds wasn’t having any of that.

Penalties Smellaties. I don’t care if the win was ugly. All that matters is that RUSSIA WON. I hope it does salve some of the wounds left over from Vancouver, and also provides the Russian Caps–Ovie in particular–some measure of satisfaction (and relief) as he prepares for a long summer hiatus when the WC tournament ends.

I hope Slava Bykov has learned his lesson after the Vancouver debacle and thinks twice about stocking Team Russia with KHL players over the NHL players when Sochi 2014 commences. Of course, the NHL players have to get approval to participate, so all this might be moot anyway. Still, I can’t help wondering what Ovie will do if the NHL nixes any more participation by its players in future Olympics.

The prelude to Downie and Feds was Downie slewfooting Semin. Oh, and it’s “lopsided.”
