whats funny is the TSN announcers were saying the NHL was starting to shy away from getting players from Russia for there was a noticeable lack of interest in the sport over the last few years there. Supposedly their domestic league (KHL?) is in a lot of trouble and up until last year they didn't even have a junior program (i dunno what they meant by that because hasn't Russia been in the World Juniors every year since forever?!?!? - maybe they mean a OHL/WHL like program?)


Gotta hand it to them though - they didn't play dirty and turned up the skill in the 3rd.
