Kosov will be on the first line with Apalkov, and Barbashev drops down to Kulikov.

Cheers!

Russia never wins these clean.. I expect something like 6-3. People will think its because the Swiss are quite good, but in reality its because Russia always plays shoddy defense early on..

Usually a motivational problem. We'll see if it affects them.

 

[pouskin74*]

i dont care about numbers but just win. so 3-2 or 4-3 or...win for Russia

 

[swissexpert]

Clear win for Russia. Something like 8-3 sounds accurate to me.
Switzerland is maybe as stacked as never been before up front, but lacks at defense and goaltending.
Swiss juniors are spread all over the world, so they have to find some chemistry first..

Hopp Schwiiz!

 

[observerspb*]

7-2 Russia.

 

[MOGiLNY]

7-2 Russia.

nice avatar haha

 

[observerspb*]

nice avatar haha

all like.

 

[cska78]

4:3 russia

 

[Fulcrum]

5-2 for the motherland

 

[c9gunner]

I personally don't think it's gonna be an easy win for Russia. Though we will see. My guess is 4-2 for Russia

 

[GoBs]

Is this televised anywhere?

 

[observerspb*]

Anyone have a link to a stream?

half hour before the game.

 

[c9gunner]

half hour before the game.

Is it possible to PM the link to me? I don't think TSN would stream any round robin games with Russia.

 

[BabyBurke*]

May the Russian choke job commence.

Thank you.

 

[observerspb*]

Thank you.

but the quality is bad

 

[c9gunner]

but the quality is bad

I just found that FASTHockey is going to stream all games for free. Usually their quality is quite decent. I'm just not sure how their blackout restrictions work. E.g. if my IP is in Canada, it seems that I can watch any other team except Canada. But I could be wrong.
