It’s like we’re each as bad as the other. A chippy game between Canada’s nascent Olympic squad and Russia’s U25 team had villains on all sides.

First there was this:

And then later all this happened.

The men on Yegor Korshkov are Brandon McMillan, a former member of the Ducks who’s been in Europe for a while, and Ak Bars scoring whizz Justin Azevedo, who still remembers how to act like a Kitchener Ranger. Korshkov isn’t shy, but he is too easy to push over. More edge work should be part of his future.
