The Russian Hockey Federation know there is no better time than now to become the Redeem Team as they had arguably their worst Olympic Games in 2010 in years. The Russian didn't even get to the Medal Round is not what the Red Army was built on. A mix of NHL and KHL (Russia's #1 Hockey League) Royalty this Team has the makings of getting the Gold as they are loaded with the likes of Alexander Ovechkin (Caps and pictured right), Geno Malkin (Pens), Pavel Datsyuk (Wings), and Sergei Bobrovsky among others.Team RUSSIA Net Minders

The Russians like most National Teams have a lot of Politics going on as they omitted some real nice players like Defenseman Sergei Gonchar of the Stars and Alexander Semin of the Hurricanes. The Russians are front loaded and with the likes of Brobovsky, Ovechkin, Datsyuk, and Malkin the Russians have a chance or will too much KHL Players bring the performance down?
Note: Remember the New Jersey Devils Forward Ilya Kovalchuk leaving all that cash on the table from the Devs to return back home....he is ripe and ready to go for Team Russian and he is Dynamic like the other Russian Stars.
The Russians are coming...The Russians are coming...as its Gold or Bust for the Sochi 2014 Winter Games Home Team.
