He hasn't exactly used the added width of the rink at all.

Ok. Then, for example, how exactly the bigger ice helped him on the second goal?

That Malkin-Nikulin goal was
That goalie wasn't even in the same dimension.
Team Russia looks like a mess so far.

Not sure if clueless
Yakupov is a "nobody" at this moment in time who didn't prove yet he belongs on the NT.
MZZM are either injured or had rough seasons.
Kuznetsov could be the next generational player, he needs time to learn the system and what it takes to compete on the men's level rather than the boys' level.

I'm just shocked that this is the best Russia has to offer (minus players still in SC playoffs)

Well, as the game developed Russia started to look more organised and moved better. Defense is still an enormous ?.

Well looks like he's going to have to wait 2 more years till his KHL deal expires before he begins to learn those lessons. If he looks out of place against Latvian just wait until he has to face NHL caliber defenseman against Canada and USA.

Well Bilyalalala's team's rarely are flashy, but they get the job done one way or another.

Kuz will do just fine against Canada and the US.
