Wheeeewwwwww. I saw a few clips of our comrades skating circles around people yesterday, and then today I saw another 2 minute video of pure poetry in motion. These guys were so fucking good at hockey it doesn't even make sense. It literally looks like they're playing college kids, like the USSR team against the shit USA teams back before Miracle. That's exactly what the Russian 5 looks like against NHL players, its unreal. Please just watch this video.

My lord. That passing is literal sex if you're a hockey fan. They make it seem like they're playing a video game on rookie its fucking crazy. Just look at how easy it is!! The craziest thing about it is not even how much they produce, and how easy it looks, but they do it like they're WWE wrestlers and their check comes from entertainment value. They do it like they're the Popovich Spurs and every has to touch the puck before anybody can shoot. Watch again, there are mulitple plays where someone has a great look at a shot or can go to the net and get a grade A scoring chance, but it's almost like they say to themselves, "naahhhhhh this would be way too easy, we gotta make at least 3 more passes, cross up 2 more guys, and break one more pair of ankles before we tuck this". Just fucking toying with people. Playing with their food.
God I wish I was in my prime sports years for these dudes, just dropping their Ruski nuts on everybody night in and night out. I'd gladly break out the fur hat and do some vodka to watch the likes of Sergei Federov every night, but for now Dylan Larkin and the gang will do.
