Fetch Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Gaarder - I have been impressed with his hustle & skating Quote
Blackheart Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Nelson scores less than a minute in to lead 1-0 Quote
dakotadan Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I'm not a big fan of games like this. I hope nobody comes out of the game with any injuries. While everyone is sitting at home watching the game be sure to head over to http://www.coachoftheyear.com and vote for Coach Mussman. He has made it to the final 5 and is currently 2nd in fan voting!

Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I was waiting for the Ruskies to get chippy, surprised it took this long. Anyone who has seen Russians play in tourneys such as U18 or the World Juniors knows what I'm talking about. I just hope we don't get injured in this game, and any fighting would rule out our guy for Harvard night one. Be smart boys. Quote
bcblues Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Yawn. Another junior team. Probably be a better match-up against the Bobcats next week. Quote
siouxczech29 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 This is their first game since arriving in North America ... I think the Bobcats will have their hands full. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I missed the first two periods, what happened at the end of the 2nd that caused the Russian player to get booted? Quote

He hit Macwilliam late, refs also trying to prevent an international incident that surely would have occured when Mac retaliated in the 3rd! Quote
passit_offthegoalie Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Tim is trying to remember who MacMillan looks like out on the ice. I think he reminds of Trupper. Quote

passit_offthegoalie Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Looked like the Russians gave Tate some love during the handshake line. Quote
dmksioux Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Yawn. Another junior team. Probably be a better match-up against the Bobcats next week. Speaking about their game with the Bobcats, it's going to be on tv on the KX network in Western ND. It's actually being billed as North Dakota's first HD broadcast of a sporting event (not counting ESPN I guess) in ND. Kind of stinks that the Bismarck Bobcats are the first hockey team/sports team in the state to be broadcast in HD... http://www.kxnet.com/story/16218847/bismarck-bobcats-vs-russian-red-stars-game-december-21-2011 Quote
brianvf Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 The Russians showed some skill/speed, but they couldn't connect on passes and kept trying to make the "cute" play only to have it broken up immediately. I think the Russians could potentially beat some of the NCAA schools on their schedule though as they get more used to playing with each other. Great to see Tate get an entire period of play. Gaarder continues to impress. He was being double shifted for a good portion of the night on the 1st and 4th line, and he didn't look out of place at all. Gleason reminds me of Genoway with his speed and ability to rush the puck up ice. I really think he is more effective at defense than forward. Bring on Harvard! We need some OOC wins! Quote

I would agree, the Russians looked fast but out of sync. They haven't had much time to play together so no surprise. They will win some games as they learn to play as a team. It was nice to see Maris get some ice time. I didn't think he had a chance on the Russian goal. And Eids played well - 2 shutout periods. The PP looked great but I think it was more that the Russians' PK was so poor. At any rate, a nice win. Quote
badger1 Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 what was the age of these russian all stars? any future nhl stars to keep an eye on? Quote
sioux rube Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 what was the age of these russian all stars? any future nhl stars to keep an eye on? Thought I read somewhere that they are 19-21 year olds. Quote
burd Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Thought I read somewhere that they are 19-21 year olds. They sure looked young Quote
ticklethetwine Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 So the Red Stars after they played UND have won against Alexandria, lost against Bismarck, beat Vermont 6-1(ouch) and lost to Yale 6-4. Quote
