Anyone know where I can watch these games? I know they probably aren’t going to be on TV. At least not until the finals anyway.

Saw them talking while heading of the ice, maybe GMGM sent him on a mission.

Refs, coaches, and broadcasters rely on visible numbers, not visible names. This makes sense as hockey sweaters have several numbers all over the place whereas the name, is only in one, sometimes hard to see spot.

I don’t know why the Russians don’t use cyrillic nameplates. I kinda wish they did though.

so others can read the players name? Refs..coaches..broadcasters I’m guessing need to be able to read the players jersey. This is just a guess…

Question: Why do the Russian jerseys use nameplates in the English alphabet? Is that an aesthetic choice?

It was a really interesting game. It was really fun to see the Semin- Datsyuk-Ovechkin line and I think they all did good. Probably they will score beautiful and great goals the more they play since you already can see that they all find eachother on the ice. I was biting my nails when Sasha first came with Ovie and then with Pasha haha.
