Voynov, Tyutin and Emelin are solid too but they are 2nd pairing guys, neither would make Canada, Sweden, or USA.
Back in the day, Russia was a factory of defensemen; Zubov, Gonchar, Tverdovsky, the Mironov brothers, Malakhov, Zhitnik.

they left out gonchar could have used him to move the puck to the forwards
forgot about tyutin but hes not really a top 4
but yeah russia used to have quality dmen like gonchar, zubov, zhitnik, malakhov, kravchuk, yushkevich, kasparaitis
now its a bunch of khl bums back there, even markov has lost a step
btw i wouldnt laugh at slovakia they are a scary team, halak can get hot at any time and stop everything thrown at him, and they have dudes like hossa and charga.

No goal for Nash, hit the puck with a high stick when puck was on top of the net
Then I hope you keep that stance to the end. You and reincar
Acting like babies because you don't agree with a coaching staff that have shown many times they can win and are still undefeated in the tournament.
I don't agree with some of their choices either but to turn on your team is straight bytchmade, but again you guys keep showing your true colors every post you make.
