No Confidence - Canada@Russia - G4 - Second Period Thoughts…

Posted by inferno272 on September 1st, 2007

The mark of a good coach is being able to rally your team after they go down a goal. Its about making them play in the right zones, get the pucks on net, and keeping em out of your own net by playing as a 5 man unit.

If that is the mark of a good coach, then Sergei Nemchinov is a horrendous coach.

My connection goes in and out, so I am missing a whole lot, and in fact, I think I am going to go to bed so there wont be a post game wrap.

Ok, he doesn’t “really” have brain damage, however I am not sure how else you explain him playing in this game. After suffering what looked like a fairly brutal knee on knee collision, hes back just 24 hours later. Umm, why exactly?

Dont get me wrong, he actually looked GREAT out there, and skating freely. But if its true he was planning on leaving after game 6, then why even stay now? The Canadians are clearly out to injure, not to just win, but obliterate. This doesnt bode well for their best (remaining) player.

AA, trust me, pretend youre hurt, fly to America, watch the games in the stands if you must, and get ready for a big regular season for you as a professional hockey player.

Btw, am I the only loser who stayed awake (I had work to do, so I worked through the night and got my weekend clear) for this game?
