What do you expect from Russia this year? What this team has to do to get Parfyonov fired in your eyes?
How come the last coach didnt keep his job ? Bronze- not bad with the team he got himself. Many were predicting the team would end playing not to be relegated.
Well i presume doing worse than last year would be a reason to get someone new.
One idea would be to let Bragin choose the team and let someone else lead them
That man gets it right to the last man, 2 years in a row.

Wanted to argue that this years "material" isn't as good as last years, then I realized that coach is partially responsible for that himself, when he left some bright surnames of the roster.
To me it looks like last years team had more 'blatnie' than this year's one, especially with Ivan....whatever- call him fat boy- gone. Last year they had 1.5 forwards line working for them and they almost beat USA. If these lines get some chemistry quickly between them i see them going all the way to the final.
